Webinar Recording: The Impact of Missed Opportunities

IMPACT, in partnership with Bild, were able to host a free webinar to launch ‘Homes not hospitals: the impact of missed opportunities’ film.

The film is a collaboration following a UK-wide Impact Network focused on long-stay hospitals. Bild, CAN (Compass Advocacy Network), In Control Scotland and MacIntyre acted as local Impact Network Coordinators across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, with people with lived experience, family-carers, providers, commissioners and researchers coming together to identify practical solutions.

Created for IMPACT by the Restraint Reduction Network, the film shares people’s experiences of themselves, or their loved ones, being in mental health hospitals across the UK.

The webinar shone a light on an issue that is often hidden from view, considered the human rights implications of long-term hospital stays and explored how to prevent people with learning disabilities and autistic people being admitted to hospital.

We are also pleased to make available the video presented in this webinar, titled ‘Homes not Hospitals’
