Highlights
A retrospective survey of contemporaneous electronic case records in a male psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU) in central London was carried out for 2012
In the present retrospective survey, it was clear from the data that the incidence of violence decreased consistently week on week; 45% of all behaviours (n1⁄480) requiring emergency nursing intervention occurred in the first week of all admissions
In a similar study, I audited the practice of a memory clinic in Southport, Merseyside, against 2006 National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance on dementia,[2] which stated that ‘structural imaging should be used in the assessment of people with suspected dementia’ and that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ‘is the preferred modality [. . .] computed tomography (CT) scanning could be used’
