    The Big Ideas - Episode 1: Making the most of existing data

    Welcome to The Big Ideas, a podcast series exploring how data shapes our understanding of mental health and inequalities and how to make the collection and use of data more inclusive to inspire a more equitable future. The podcast series is part of the Social and Economic Predictors of Severe Mental Disorders (SEP-MD) research project led by Dr Jayati Das-Munshi from King’s College London and affiliated with the ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre. In the launch episode, ‘Making the most of existing data’, host Milena Wuerth, Research Assistant, King’s College London is joined by Amelia Jewell, Research Informatics and Governance Lead for the Clinical Records Interactive Search (CRIS), South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, to discuss how data linkage can be like ‘patching the holes’; By linking mental health data with administrative datasets like census, the data starts to tell us about patterns of inequality in mental health. Amelia discusses some of the challenges of linking large-scale data and the importance of patient involvement in this so that data can be turned into a tool for change. The Big Ideas was produced by Words of Colour: www.wordsofcolour.co.uk The Big Ideas is a special 4-part series of Our Sick Society, a podcast where researchers from the ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health and people with lived experience explore together how social factors contribute to mental health problems. The podcast encourages listeners to think and question society’s role in mental health - what are the systems and the structures which mean that some people are more likely to become mentally unwell than others?

  6. Episode 15: The UNCRPD General Comment 1 - an end for involuntary psychiatric care?

    Episode 15: The UNCRPD General Comment 1 - an end for involuntary psychiatric care?

    In 2014 the UN Convention on the Rights of Person’s with Disabilities (UNCRPD) recommended that policymakers and psychiatrists should “review the laws allowing for guardianship and trusteeship, and take action to develop laws and policies to replace regimes of substitute decision-making by supported decision-making, which respects the person’s autonomy, will and preferences”. These stipulations mean the disbandment of involuntary and assisted care, which are two forms of care that are conventionally used to treat people with lost mental capacity. Involuntary care specifically refers to when someone is treated without their consent, towards the restoration of their autonomy and in the interest of their and others safety . The UNCRPD's stipulations, on the other hand, mean a shift in focus to provision that ensures relational and environmental supports for people with psychosocial conditions who are in crisis, instead of treatment against the person's will. The sentiments of GC1 have been met with caution and sometimes contention, and remain important to policy in UN signatories. To explore some of the complexities of this debate, Alex Freeman interviews Charlene Sunkel, and Prof. George Szmukler - both experts in the field and human rights activists with different experiences and insightful perspectives towards involuntary care and psychiatric provision.

    Episode 13: How NHS organisational culture maintains racialised inequalities

    In this episode, Dr Charlotte Woodhead explores findings from the Tackling Inequalities and Discrimination Experiences study, or TIDES. Led by Professor Stephani Hatch at King's College London, TIDES aims to understand how discrimination, bullying and harassment is experienced in the health service and its effects on staff and patients. We hear from an expert panel, who discuss some of the findings about how the healthcare workplace environment not only creates but maintains racialised inequalities experienced by healthcare staff. The panel is chaired by Femi Otitoju, Chair of Challenge Consultancy. Panel members are Cerisse Gunasinghe, research associate and counselling psychologist, and member of the TIDES study team; Nathan Stanley, research assistant on the TIDES study; Isaac Akande, clinical psychologist based in the NHS. Joy Gana-Inatimi, programme lead for medical leadership at the Edgehill University Medical School and Safeguarding Lead; Naomi Clifford, research assistant for the Nottinghamshire Health Care NHS Foundation Trust and TIDES peer researcher; and Charlotte Woodhead, lecturer in society and mental health at the ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health at King’s College London.
