A service evaluation was conducted to characterise all admissions to the National High Secure Healthcare Service for Women (NHSHSW).Data were obtained from computerised records, case notes, and the hospital’s Risk Department. Data collected included the date of incident, incident type, location of incident and name of aggressor. The severity of incidents were reported from 2010 onwards. Some data are presented in three time bands: 2007, 2008–2011, and 2013–2015 in order to illustrate changes. Some data is presented in three age bands based on age at admission: under 30 years old, 30–39 years old and 40 years and over.105 women were admitted into the service between January 2007 and 30 June 2015. The majority of women had a diagnosis of personality disorder (81.0 per cent), a history of trauma (e.g. it was documented that 71.4 per cent had experienced sexual abuse) and had received a criminal conviction (90.5 per cent). A total of 8934 risk incidents were reported and the majority of women (N = 101, 96.2 per cent) were involved in at least one incident during their admission. The majority of recorded incidents involved self-harm (70.9 per cent).Little has been published about the NHSHSW population. This article outlines the characteristic profiles of women detained in high secure care.The complex background and clinical characteristics highlight the need for trauma-informed practice. Continuous monitoring is required to ensure effective practices.

To effectively deliver HCR-20 training to staff who work in a Forensic Mental Health Service, and to increase their knowledge and understanding of the risk assessment tool. Three separate training sessions took place with a total of 24 participants. The participants work in Forensic Mental Health Services in Leicestershire. A mixture of quantitative and qualitative data was gathered from feedback evaluation forms, and from questionnaires given to participants before and after the training session. Results from the feedback evaluation forms were mostly positive. In the first two training sessions, 100 per cent of participants felt like the training was useful and met the intended aims. The results from the questionnaires indicted that that participant’s knowledge of the HCR-20 had improved immediately after the training had been given. It can be concluded that the training delivered was able to improve self-reported knowledge of the HCR-20 and confidence in using the assessment tool. Participants suggested future improvements to training, such as delivering refresher training. Other suggestions such as incorporating formulation into reflective practice groups have been implemented.
