Meeting patients' needs in secure forensic psychiatric units.
The authors have developed a security needs assessment profile designed to match the service provided in secure, forensic psychiatric units more accurately with the needs of individual patients. They are carrying out an 18-month survey of all secure units in England and are seeking participants to help refine the profile, gain more understanding of what is provided throughout the country, and assess the views of other clinicians and managers.
