Important and timely report from @hssib.bsky.social about mental health crisis care in emergency departments and legislative challenges which arise
💭We will be working closely with a Lived Experience Advisory Board of service users and carers and clinicians to understand patterns within these data and to develop a shared agenda for future research aimed at improving care under the Mental Health Act.

🔗To do this, we'll establish a novel data linkage between de-identified electronic health records from the @nihrmaudsleybrc.bsky.social Clinical Record Interactive Search database and newly digitised Mental Health Act data from Thalamos' eMHA platform.

📈We have been awarded £14,544.25 to estimate waits for assessments and hospital admissions under the Mental Health Act and to identify factors linked to inequalities in delays.

✨Really glad to jointly lead on a new King's @betterhchub-kcl.bsky.social Accelerator Grant funded project, together with my brilliant colleague @jayachatur.bsky.social and in partnership with interdisciplinary collaborators from @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social and Thalamos.

So great to see this write up on Sarindi’s amazing PhD research, delivered together with her lived experience partners.
The @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social President’s Award for Societal Engagement is so well-deserved 🏆
This is great! Huge congratulations, John

How does patient experience compare across different #NHS services?
In the latest surveys, #cancer patients responded most favourably of all the patient groups, while respondents to the Community Mental Health Survey rated their overall experience the lowest.

⚠️ Take home messages: Video-based patient records show evidence of promise for use in the care of older adults with frailty, but implementation challenges remain.
Improved intervention uptake relies on better integration of the technology into daily clinical workflows
🔗 www.jmir.org/2026/1/e77318
🌟 Perceived effectiveness: Despite low engagement with videos once captured, the perceived effectiveness was promising.
Participants felt that videos could support improved interprofessional communication, clinical assessment quality, and continuity of care across different teams
5/
⁉️ Feasibility: Implementation within the acute hospital setting presented some challenges.
Busy ward environments and scheduling conflicts made it difficult to capture patient videos. Upon video capture, we found low overall engagement: staff didn’t always watch videos once they were uploaded
4/
✅ Acceptability: Most participating patients, carers, and acute hospital ward staff found the intervention to be highly acceptable.
Participants felt that so long as privacy safeguards and dignity were maintained, video-based records could provide a more person-centered view of the patient
3/
⚠️ The problem: clinical notes or verbal handovers seldom capture the nuance of a person's functional abilities.
In this pilot study, video-recordings of individual participating patients were embedded securely into the electronic patient record (e.g. to show mobility baseline or support needs)
2/
📣 Pleased that our published paper is now live in JMIR, based on work completed during my prior role at @imperialmed.bsky.social
🔎 We wanted to find out whether videos, embedded within the electronic patient record, may support improved care for older adult inpatients with frailty
