Artist and mad autistic queer. Mental health, disability and menstrual justice researcher and activist (they/them) #transnotpd#StopSIM#StopOxevision🏳️⚧️🩸
After the most enormous amount of work, we are finally sharing the findings from my research on experiences of menstrual health in psychiatric inpatient settings in England. This includes the report, guidelines for services and Easy Read summary 1/

@trewvs@christienursing@StopOxevision@SurvivorsNotPD@OxfordHealthNHS So it is possible that they are actually correct and the trust doesn't have a function to turn it off in those rooms but that this can be done in other trusts. But obviously that doesn't negate the legal, safeguarding etc
Bindmans have made written submissions to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) on behalf of Hat Porter and Stop Oxevision outlining serious data protection concerns regarding Oxevision use in patient bedrooms

A huge moment for Mad activism.
A patient has now been awarded compensation over EPUT’s use of Oxevision.
Credit to Miss B — and to @StopOxevision for their really incredible work.
Please check on their site if your trust is still using Oxevision.
Safety not surveillance.
A NHS Trust was ordered to pay compensation to a patient over use of Oxevision (LIO) - what does this mean for other Trusts? What does the guidance from NHSE and CQC say?
Plus, read our letter to NHS England asking them to take action

We are relieved to see that the @mhldforum guidelines on Oxevision have finally been taken down.
We have long thought these guidelines were neither safe nor ethical. In particular their promotion of ‘implicit consent’ was outrageous
“ Miss B said staff did not ask for her consent to be remotely monitored, there was no information on the ward about it, and when she asked staff to turn the system off in her room, her request was refused.”

“Would you want to be filmed 24/7 in your room while you’re ill in hospital?”
The NHS has rolled out a controversial spy camera technology across approximately half of all mental health trusts that provide inpatient services in England.
Oxevision is billed as a tool for remotely monitoring patient wellbeing – but does it actually make people less safe? The technology has been linked to at least four inpatient deaths, and patients aren't always asked for consent or even aware that they're being recorded, @harriepw explains.
Now up on YouTube, the BBC Look East piece on a patient who had Oxevision used against her will - the parliamentary health ombudsman found failings and awarded compensation https://t.co/3L6PESEDf6
Surrey Police said the warnings are to set "behavioural boundaries.. An initiative is underway in Surrey based on similar models elsewhere in the UK.. supporting the policing response to individuals who frequently present to police with suicidal behaviour"
So, SIM lives
#StopSIM
@MentalHealthCop@rowan_rises@jaunty_aphorism@RITB_ Surrey were one of the first trusts to use SIM along with EPUT and Oxleas. It's all lies!
Is the Surrey example something he talked about in training?
Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Trust @CNTWNHS have you installed Oxevision on the mother and baby unit? The new ward leaflet has added information about Oxevision as well as body worn cameras. This is unspeakably unethical.

The timeline outlines Oxford Health's bold claims to have 'come up with the idea' of Oxevision and the value of the @OxHealthBRC in making the research happen

If anyone has had more luck than me with getting responses to inquiries to journals I would really really value your help in raising this. I sense they're not going to listen to me...
The article is published here in @BMJMentalHealth Not only does it not report details of ethical approval but the authors have also failed to declare a conflict of interest. We have written to the BMJ about this but are yet to receive a response

Following an article by @novaramedia@harriepw
we have now shared part TWO of the timeline of
@OxfordHealthNHS's installation of Oxevision. This part of the timeline considers the initial Oxevision pilot study. We express concerns that this was conducted without ethical approval
