A UK youth mental health unit was found to have misused restraints and forced feeding, causing trauma, prompting urgent reforms.
A joint inspection of Edinburgh’s Melville Unit, a youth mental health facility, found widespread issues with the use of physical restraints and forced tube feeding, including prolonged, poorly documented incidents involving up to eight staff members.
Inspectors reported trauma, bruising, and lasting psychological harm, with one former patient describing ongoing PTSD.
The report emphasized that restraints should only be used as a last resort and called for urgent improvements in safety, documentation, and oversight.
NHS Lothian confirmed it has a comprehensive action plan to address the findings, following national scrutiny after similar allegations at a Glasgow facility.
