Therapeutic safe holding with children and young people in hospital

Kennedy, R; Binns, F

Abstract

This article demonstrates how a strategy to
improve patient safety and the patient experience
in hospital health care was implemented in a large
tertiary children’s hospital. A children and young
people’s therapeutic safe holding policy and training
programme for all clinical nursing staff was developed
and introduced. The strategy aimed to define best
practice and equip healthcare professionals with the
appropriate tools to deliver care safely, effectively and
in the best interests of the child or young person
