The focus of this podcast is on a themed review for the NIHR on the experience of children and young people caring for in mental health, learning disability and autism inpatient settings and explores the focus of the themed review, as well as its aims.
We hear from Candace Imison, Associate Director of Evidence and Dissemination at the National Institute for Health Research Centre for Engagement and Dissemination, and Dr. Shaun Liverpool, Lecturer in Child and Adolescent Mental Health and Wellbeing at Edge Hill University.
Shaun further explains how they were able to capture the experiences of young people in specialist and inpatient care settings, the importance of understanding experience to improve in-patient care and how to translate their findings into practice to make a difference.
Candace also discusses the three key action points, identified from the themed review, to support The Quality Improvement Task Force for in-patient services for children and young people with a mental health, learning disability and or autism needs.
Furthermore, Shaun and Candice talk about what other messages policymakers should take from the themed review, what the implications of their findings are for professionals working in child and adolescent mental health and how to disseminate these findings to have the greatest reach.
