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. Find out more: buff.ly/QoEDiCE

⚠️ 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/

Dr Phoebe Averill @phoebeaverill.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

✅ 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/

You are invited to take part in this study which is looking to identify and examine overlooked and lesser known forms of harm in UK mental health services. Taking part will involve completing an anonymous online survey, involving questions about your experiences of harm. This will take approximately 15-45 minutes to complete.

I am looking for individuals who are aged 18+, AND have experienced harm from mental health services within the UK from 2010 onward, OR are the carer/family member of someone who has experienced harm from mental health services within the UK from 2010 onward.

Who Am I? My name is Lauren Langley and I am a PhD student at the University of Lancashire. I am Autistic and have lived experience of trauma and mental illness. As a mental health patient, I have experienced harm from mental health services. If you have any questions, please get in touch: llangley1@uclan.ac.uk (picture below of a white person with ginger hair, wearing a blue t-shirt)

We started working on this in 2021 and there is *finally* a physical copy of the book in my hand. It feels great that other people can now read all the great work that's in this collection. It is available as a free e-book and in paperback: bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/recalibratin...

A copy of the book 'Recalibrating Stigma: sociologies of health and illness' edited by Gareth M. Thomas, Oli Williams, Tanisha Spratt, and Amy Chandler. The front cover of the book depicts a person out at night, lit by the light from a lamppost and looking at posters pasted onto a brick wall that are in the style of the 'WANTED' posters famously associated with the Wild West era of American history. The word 'UNWANTED' has replaced the word 'WANTED'.
