This report details the findings from the visits to twenty four NHS wards providing acute assessment for older people with functional mental illness in Scotland and contains recommendations to improve patient care. Functional mental illness includes common conditions such as depression and anxiety, and rarer conditions such as schizophrenia, delusional disorder, bipolar affective disorder and obsessional compulsive disorder. The care of 128 individuals was reviewed, and attempts were made to hear their views where possible, including the views of 15 unpaid carers – most often family member or close friends. The review found that just about a quarter of care plans were felt to have a good amount of individualised and personalised content, with just over half having some individualised person centred content. The rest had non-individualised generic content. The majority of patients were able to give information about staff availability and felt staff were easily available and approachable. Nearly all patients were being reviewed at least weekly by their psychiatrist, with the remainder being reviewed every fortnight but there was considerable variation in levels of input from clinical psychologists in different wards. Only about half of patients said they had access to advocacy, half were either unaware of, or did not have access to, advocacy. Detained patients were more likely to be aware of advocacy.
