| Annotation | The authors describe a training programme that included physical intervention techniques for aggressive and violent behaviour, alongside preventive and non-physical approaches. In mental health services, this is often referred to as PMVA - Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression. The training boosted staff skill and confidence, enabling them to manage situations effectively, often without resorting to physical interventions. Following a pilot programme, specific training on PMVA is being conducted with staff working in older people's mental health in Sussex. (RH). |
