Mental health restrictive practice definitions for Specialised Services Quality Dashboards (SSQD) have been published for 2020/21.
The dashboards are designed to measure the quality of care that is being provided to patients, by collecting data on the types of interventions that are being used, such as the number of restraints, seclusions and tranquilisations.
SSQDs enable comparisons to be made between service providers with the aim of supporting improvements to the outcomes of services that are commissioned by NHS England.
