Mental Health<\/a> Act 1983 and can be managed safely while an appropriate is undertaken.\n<\/p>\n\n Mr Williams said: \u201cOne of the developments is that they\u2019ve implemented a swing bed model so that patients can be detained there and treated there [at Maudsley Hospital].\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cBefore there were some questions around the sort of legal status of people there, particularly when they\u2019d gone past the period of 136 and hadn\u2019t been moved into a bed.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n He went on to say as part of HBPoS, the trust is going to introduce a garden and improve staff mandatory training.\n<\/p>\n
\n Other key areas the trust is working on, includes launching a new policy that gives staff networks, including our race, disability, and sexual orientation networks, protected funding and additional working hours so their insights can help shape hospital decisions.\n<\/p>\n
\n Elsewhere, the trust has completed an overhaul of its safety investigations, and has cleared old backlogs and retrained teams to investigate patient safety incidents more quickly to ensuring families get answers and lessons are openly shared.\n<\/p>\n
\n Doctors and nurses are in charge of designing the new electronic patient record system and senior executives, non-executives and governors are taking part in more frequent site visits to talk directly with more frontline staff and remove any remaining barriers.\n<\/p>\n
\n The CQC\u2019s Well Led inspection on the trust was carried out between June and October 2025 and identified 15 areas of improvement.\n<\/p>\n
\n In March 2026, an Action Plan was submitted\u00a0in response to the CQC\u2019s findings and is aimed at addressing the feedback from the regulator.\n<\/p>\n
\n Back at the meeting, the Committee noted the Action Plan to address the improvement areas and asked for an update from the trust in six months to a year\u2019s time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"South London and Maudsley (SLaM) NHS Foundation Trust revealed what changes it plans to make after it was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":679465,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-679464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679464\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/679465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
