Data collection arrangements
Routinely collected patient data at forensic hospitals/clinics across Scotland will be reviewed and recorded by local Responsible Medical Officers/Senior Medical Trainees or forensic network staff. The information collected will form the Forensic Mental Health Services Managed Care Network Service-User Database. Non-identifiable patient information will be made available to approved researchers/health professionals for service evaluation/audit/research purposes. The database will be managed and administered by the Forensic Network on the National Services Scotland (NSS) secure network (SWANN/N3) and secure servers. It will be governed by the Database Governance Body, Data Custodian and Data Controller.
Research programme
The database will support health professionals and researchers who are interested in exploring the field of forensic mental health and inpatient security. The database will also be useful for service planning both locally or across the whole Forensic Mental Health Services Managed Care Network.
