Overview of Requirements. This project is designed to conduct a review of the research and medical theories relating to restraint related deaths in the UK, but with regard to the international research on these deaths.. The project will specifically focus upon: A review of the medical theories and research relating to restraint related deaths focussing upon those that occurred in the UK from 1st January 1999 to 31st December 2009 with particular reference to positional asphyxia. It would be helpful if the review could also briefly reference relevant international research on these deaths. Discussion of other aspects of restraint related deaths including excited delirium, pre-existing congenital conditions e.g. Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and acquired conditions e.g. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Discussion of the role of drugs and alcohol in restraint related deaths. Identification of any trends particularly in relation to Black and Minority Ethnic (XXXX) communities and those individuals with mental health issues. In conjunction with the Secretariat, the successful organisation will identify suitable attendees for the expert seminar, feed into the development of the agenda and agree the format for the day, jointly host the seminar with Professor Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx to ensure that the issues covered are targeted to inform the review, facilitate a series of workshops on the day, if this is deemed to be the most effective way of engaging with attendees and record and collate comments throughout the event and undertake further follow up with attendees if required via email, telephone or post contact. The review should also identify any relevant research that has been undertaken in relation to the use of de-escalation techniques in order to avoid the use of physical restraint. A report providing an overview of the key discussions and findings from the expert seminar to be sent to the IAP by the 6th April 2011. The report should be no more than 2,000 words (excluding footnotes) An interim report containing emerging findings from the review to be sent to the IAP by the 14th May 2011. The report should be no more than 2,500 words (excluding footnotes). A final report to be submitted to the IAP by the 9th September 2011. The report should be no more than 12,000 words (excluding footnotes) and include a full bibliography for future IAP reference. This is likely to be published on the IAP’s website. It should provide a detailed understanding of the medical theories and physiological aspects of restraint related deaths, which will enable the IAP to identify potential approaches to safer restraint in a custodial setting. The report should highlight common themes and key learning points, which can be shared across the custodial sectors. This will allow the IAP to identify potential gaps in custodial sectors restraint training packages and make recommendations to the Ministerial Board to address such gaps. Caring Solutions UK Ltd were invited by the Ministry of Justice to participate in the tendering for this project and given the company’s strong academic links to the University of Central Lancashire (the Company’s CEO, Dr C D, holds a senior research fellowship with the university following his PhD studies there) determined that the bid could be significantly enhanced and strengthened by joining in a partnership with the University in this application. The project team has been drawn from staff with expertise and knowledge in aggression prevention and management, restraint, associated research in aggression causation and staff and patient perspectives on the same, emergency medicine and physiotherapy research. We have a national and international profile in this field. The project team has a strong record of scoping activity and reviews and can also draw upon other experience and expertise in the School of Health and beyond. Caring Solutions (UK) ltd was formed in 2002 and operates from its base in the north-west of England. The company has been fortunate in attracting high-calibre associates which reflects the quality of the work completed. Also the company has resources to engage with a strong network throughout mental health and learning disability services which means that in addition to the associate members of the company Caring Solutions can call upon a wide range of professionals in all specialities to focus on any particular project. The work that the company has taken on over recent years is mainly time-limited project work and has included work with: The Department of Health Offender Health Services The National Patient's Safety Agency The National Institute for Mental Health in England The Royal College of Nursing NHS London Strategic Health Authority NHS North West Strategic Health Authority NHS Yorkshire and the Humber Strategic Health Authority NHS East Midlands Strategic Health Authority NHS South West Strategic Health Authority NHS Northern Strategic Health Authority South West Yorkshire Strategic Health Authority Hampshire Partnership Trust Five Boroughs Partnership NHS Trust Oxleas NHS Trust Kirklees Primary Care Trust West London Mental Health Trust Cornwall Partnership Trust South Yorkshire Strategic Health Authority The Care Services Improvement Partnership Her Majesty's Prison Service Kent Strategic Health Authority The University of Central Lancashire The World Health Organisation The University of Central Lancashire [UCLAN] is locally, nationally and internationally recognized for its excellence in research and teaching. This resulted in a successful result in the 2008 RAE where we are now ranked as one of the top three universities in the North West. UCLAN has developed a significant research capacity over the last five years which includes a multi million pound investment in six leading centres including mental health. The School of Health offers a strong portfolio of full and part-time programmes for health and social care professionals, embracing research and education across disciplines. The University collaborates with two local mental health Trusts in preparing staff and trainers to develop their skills in the prevention of aggression and as a last resort in managing violence using restraint techniques. Service users act in an advisory on this course forming part of the assessment panel for students using these techniques with a view to reflecting upon positional aspects which can lead to both physical and psychological distress. This cohort of service users including those from forensic settings will be utilised by this project to provide critical commentary. The School comprises the disciplines of postgraduate medicine and health, nursing, midwifery, allied health, professional ethics and mental health. This unique mix of academic specialties facilitates a multi-disciplinary approach to research and learning attuned to the needs of the modern health and social care sectors. The School developed a cohesive research and learning support strategy which is based upon the formation of Interdisciplinary Research and Teaching Groups (IDRTGs) as a means of establishing viable groups with necessary xxxxxxxx xxxx, expertise and range of complementary skills to undertake sustainable programmes of applied research, learning and teaching addressing issues relevant to health and social care. Within this context the IDRTGs undertake thematic, cross-faculty programmes with broad relevance to health and social care based upon collaborations across the University as well as with external organisations. IDRTGs facilitate the development of integrated programmes of research, teaching and knowledge transfer, and provide opportunities for health and social care professionals, the University and commercially-based research staff, irrespective of professional background or specialty subject, to engage with critical masses of personnel formed around the designated thematic areas. This approach also has an important role in contributing broadly towards the development of the National Health Service as an evidence-based, learning organisation. Specific projects which this bid team cite as examples of high level research work both with direct relevance to the subject area and into more general health care include: The United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing and Midwifery placed a one year contract with the University to undertake a national review of nursing in secure environments (both forensic health and prison settings) this has stood as the most significant piece of research within this specialty for the last ten years and was widely acclaimed upon publication. Dr C D jointly led this project on behalf of the University and was awarded a PhD for his research in this area. Dr C D on behalf of Caring Solutions (UK) ltd was the joint project manager of the National Institute for Mental health in England project on the Prevention and management of Violence and aggression. The research for this project led to national publication and guidance in this area from the Department of Health including the current guidance in relational to prone restraint and helped shape the current MOJ thinking in relation to accreditation and regulation in physical interventions. In 2009/10 Professor X was awarded £ to undertake research into Psychomotor health across the lifespan: Consequences for active, happy and healthy ageing. In 2006/7 Professor X was awarded £ to undertake research into the Effectiveness of Different Cueing Devices for People with Xxxxxxxxx’x disease and Gait Initiation Difficulties Xxxxxxxxx Disease Society
