Evaluation of a planned change on a long-stay rehabilitation ward

WR Guirguis, R Rayner and M Hurley

This is an attempt to evaluate the results of planned changes on a long- stay rehabilitation ward in a traditional mental hospital in England. The ward was housing a mixture of groups of patients of differing types and needs. The results of our study suggest that it is possible to improve patient care and staff morale on similar wards without extra staff, money or structural changes. Good planning, collaborative teamwork and dedication were the main tools.
