Timeline

  • 1990’s – saw CCTV introduced in Broadmoor and across West London - service user

request.

  • 2000’s – our Personal Protective Equipment response teams used camcorders – aid

review, debrief and achieve best evidence again following lessons from serious incidents

  • 2014- Body Worn Video introduced to Broadmoor
  • 2016 - CCTV system in New Medium Secure Unit -communal clinical areas
  • 2018 – Body worn pilot across 7 inpatient wards acute admissions, PICU, Low, Medium

and enhanced Medium Secure

  • 2019 – Body Worn cameras across acute mental Health Wards and PICU

  • Accurate and robust evidence for complaint and incident

investigations

  • De-escalating violence

Ch Challenges/ / Pot

  • tential Ri

Risks

  • Culture and Practice/ Power and Control: - Closed institutions

may have issues regarding use and how Camera’s are worn

  • Passive Resistance
  • Information Technology support
  • Equality in clinical areas with service users requesting to record

staff activity. Patients saying if you can record me I can record you

  • Incremental drift- brought in for one reason but used for other

reasons over time - how do we set standards

  • Unintended consequences:
  • patient says they didn’t want it
  • Camera used as a threat negative incentive
  • informal patients
  • consent and applied consent
  • private spaces Bedrooms, bathrooms etc

Overview

BWV User experience Positive Negative Service Users Can be seen on the staff Act as a deterrent Worn for safety of all in the clinical area Useful tool for review and reflection Reassurance - when staff use them nothing untoward will happen when they are on Prevents incidents Not on all the time Subjective when

  • nly activated by staff

If I don’t consent then what Its only a tool- the staff member makes the difference Staff Improved confidence to intervene and deescalate an individual Audio recording as well as video Independent witness “A safeguard on my shoulder” Can be seen my ward manager/ team to learn from incidents and debrief Remembering to turn them on Anxious about hearing/seeing themselves on camera Uploading issues – delays to see the footage getting to the cloud

Reflections

  • Project Management
  • Needs to be project managed
  • IT ownership or support to address compatibility, software

upgrades & troubleshooting

  • Staff
  • Anxiety and remembering to turn camera on
  • Identifying Champions early for each area and ongoing

training

  • Service Users
  • Privacy, confidentiality, patient dignity, informed consent?
  • how long images are kept and who can view them
  • External
  • An area of interest and external focus: Media, national
  • rganizations and NHS e.g. Guardian society, RCN,

Key Learning

  • Human Factors
  • Human Rights - Privacy and Dignity
  • Need right resources for it to work
  • Service User and Staff involvement throughout
  • Know your limits and capability at the outset

Key Points

  • Must have a clear purpose from the beginning “safety for

service users, staff and visitors

  • Limited empirical research into healthcare use and

evaluations carried out on BWV

  • It is a tool it can help but won’t in itself make a change.

Considerations

  • Must have a clear purpose from the beginning “safety for service users,

staff and visitors”

  • Clear statement of purpose, set parameters, access and management of

the system

  • Choice of systems - must have strong governance and control measures in
  • place. Is the data secure?
  • Variations of systems and products on the market. What does the right

product look like?

  • Where the camera is worn variations on the market some more obtrusive

than others and people are different. Lens pick up variations may restrict areas the camera’s can be worn on the body.

  • How do you prevent misuse or unintended consequences creep?
  • How do we assist clinicians answer difficult questions ?
