In May 2001 the PICU Policy Research and Development Group based at NELMHT were specially commissioned by the Department of Health to produce National PICU Standards. The Group initiated a PICU and Low Secure Practice Development Network. This Network, which consisted of a multidisciplinary group of professionals and user representatives from around the UK, met for 9 consensus workshops between May 2001 and January 2002. The aim of the workshops was to develop standards for psychiatric intensive care and low secure environments. The remit of the group was to: identify and agree standards for psychiatric intensive care and low secure services; and identify general good practice guidance for each of the standards. The objective of developing these standards is to provide users, clinicians, managers, and commissioners with a dynamic framework for delivering high quality services. Through standard setting and evaluation, services can be clear about where they are and what they are aiming for.
