Plenary Session
This presentation will provide findings from analysis of routine healthcare data (Hospital Episode Statistics) to explore prisoners’ use of secondary healthcare services in 2017/18. Admitted patient care, outpatient and A&E data will be presented, exploring some of the primary reasons for admissions and attendances as well as how levels of service use compares to what we see in the general population. Conclusions will be drawn regarding what we can learn from hospital data about the healthcare needs of prisoners and the opportunities hospital data offers to assess quality of care

“The role of trauma and PTSD on negative behaviours among male prisoners: Toward a model of Trauma-Informed Correctional Care in the UK”
This presentation reports the results of a prospective cohort study conducted in a large south London prison. The study aimed to examine the prevalence of trauma and PTSD among male prisoners and explore their role in predicting outcomes such as self‐harm, suicide attempts, and violence. Findings highlight a need for trauma‐informed correctional care in the male prison estate. Associations with negative outcomes support the need for improved identification and management of trauma sequelae in this at‐risk population.

“Leadership in Recovery, Supporting Culture Change and the Holme House Approach.”
We will focus on the transformation of leadership within HMP Holme House as a Drug Recovery Prison to become a more positive place through a complex interaction of environmental, organisational and personal factors. Developing inspirational leadership and promoting a positive risk taking culture requires a certain amount of bravery on behalf of those in leadership positions; it also requires a long term strategy and patience. We will explore the following 5 themes and how this has translated into the vision values and practice within the Drug Recovery Prison-
• Clarity of vision, values and an agreed definition of what recovery is
• Empowering staff to lead and develop change
• Encouraging positive risk taking and a learning culture
• Patience is vital- change takes time to realise
• Lived experience needs to be central to change
The workshops will explore how we do this within practice in HMP Holme House Drug Recovery Prison with examples of good practice and embedding the rehab culture strategy.

The results of each of these exercises were triangulated

“Three case studies focussed on the management of patients with ABSSSI involving careful consideration with regards to antibiotic use”
The presentation will focus on three case studies I have been involved with. The first occurred at a maximum secure hospital and involved the use of a glycopeptide antibiotic to treat the patient’s acute on chronic skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI). The other two cases involved the use of other antibiotics initially during the acute phase then followed by discharge on Dalbavancin.
Receiving intravenous antibiotic outside an acute Trust, rather than as an inpatient, reduces the risk of acquiring hospital-acquired infection and also improves quality of other care which patients may require as in a prison facility.

Workshop will focus on national guidelines for prevention and treatment of obesity in secure psychiatric hospitals. Specific interventions to prevent and treat obesity will be discussed. This would be particularly relevant given the psychiatric morbidity in prison and number of prisoners being prescribed obesogenic psychiatric medications. Role of primary, secondary mental health services and tertiary weight management services will be explored. Attendees will be encouraged to think of innovative ways of working collaboratively between primary and secondary healthcare staff and with prison officers. Participants are encouraged to discuss innovative ways of improving diet, increasing activity and exercise in prison settings.
Specific emphasis will be given to antipsychotic choice, weight and health monitoring, identification and treatment of obesity as a complication. Implications for commissioning and contracts/ service specifications will be explored.

“Why are fentanyls so deadly?”
Fentanyls are highly potent opioid agonists. Only small quantities are required to produce their effects and this may make them attractive drugs for smuggling into prisons. fentanyls have pharmacological properties that make them more likely to lead to overdose than other opioids – in addition to their high potency and rapid onset of action these drugs induce respiratory muscle stiffness making it difficult to breath, are less sensitive than heroin to naloxone reversal and may show reduced cross tolerance to other opioids

Our nurse-led model of primary healthcare is supported by multidisciplinary clinicians with extended scope of practice and an internal career pathway.
