The coroner’s concerns

— With the assistance of Professor Stephen Curran, Consultant in Old Age Psychiatry and Clinical Lead who is based at Fieldhead Hospital and who was involved in Mrs Conway's care, | wish to address the issue of patients experience in mental health issues and who are in-patients at Fieldhead Hospital but who have or developed physical health problems acutely which require treatment. (1) The Acute Medical Wards Mental Health Services are geographically and ‘operationally separate. (2) Transfers of patients who are experiencing both serious mental and physical health problems can sometimes be very challenging. (3) PLT Services are now more actively involved in patients transferring to the Acute Wards. (4) Closer working such as joint ward rounds and NDT working should be explored as ‘well as the development of a clear pathway/flowchart to facilitate closer working and in the longer-term the development and use of a shared resource with a small number of jointly funded and managed beds. Such measures would improve the care of patients with both severe physical and mental lines and also reduce the need for multiple transfers between the two organisations.
