Purpose: This paper is to derive from an on-going, innovative, project to explore the concept, and application, of 'recovery' in the care and clinical management of patients detained in one UK high-security hospital.
Design/methodology/approach: Utilising a qualitative, action research, methodology the aim was to involve forensic mental health nurses in a collaborative, client-centred approach to identification and resolution of dilemmas in the process of planning care for offender-patients.
Findings: The authors identify constraints and contradictions involved in employing recovery principles in institutions critics refer to as part of the disciplinary apparatus of psychiatric and social control; where the taken for granted lives, and relations, of an incarcerated population are measured by the calendar, not the clock.
Research limitations/implications: Protective practices remain highly relevant in high-secure practice. Safety, an important value for all can by and large be achieved through recovery approaches. The humanistic elements of recovery can offer up safe and useful methods of deploying the mental health nurse on the ward. Many nurses have the prerequisite approach but there remains

The humanistic elements of recovery can offer up safe and useful methods of deploying the mental health nurse on the ward. Many nurses have the prerequisite approach but there remains a wide scope to enhance those skills. Many see the approach as axiomatic though nurse education often prepares nurses with a biomedical view of the ward.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to propose a recovery-focused approach to risk and safety and what this might look like in practice.
Design/methodology/approach: Review of recovery approaches and the ways in which traditional approaches to risk might hinder people in their recovery journey. Consideration of the principles of a recovery-focused approach to safety.
Findings: A recovery-focused approach to risk based on co-produced safety plans that enable people to do the things they value as safely as possible and shared responsibility for safety. Four key principles of a recovery-focused approach to promoting safety, autonomy and opportunity are proposed.
Originality/value: A recovery-focused approach to risk and safety is central to the development of recovery-focused practice within services. This paper outlines such an approach.

Sets out the outcomes and corresponding indicators that will be used to hold NHS England to account for improvements in health outcomes. The indicators are grouped into five domains, which set out the high-level national outcomes and focus on improving health and reducing health inequalities. They are: preventing people from dying prematurely; enhancing quality of life for people with long-term conditions; helping people to recover from episodes of ill health or following injury; ensuring that people have a positive experience of care; and treating and caring for people in a safe environment and protecting them from avoidable harm.

This at-a-glance guide sets out the 2015/16 CCG Outcomes Indicator Set, grouped under the five domains of the NHS Outcomes Framework. The framework domains include: preventing people from dying prematurely; enhancing quality of life for people with long-term conditions; helping people to recover from episodes of ill health or following injury; ensuring that people have a positive experience of care; and treating and caring for people in a safe environment and protecting them from avoidable harm. CCG Outcomes Indicator Set measures are developed from NHS Outcomes Framework indicators that can be measured at clinical commissioning group level together with additional indicators developed by NICE and the Health and Social Care Information Centre. These provide clear, comparative information for clinical commissioning groups, Health and Wellbeing Boards, local authorities and patients and the public about the quality of health services commissioned by clinical commissioning groups and the associated health outcomes.
