BDBD EP4: Surviving Boredom – Andy & Wil’s Latest Inpatient Experiences

In this episode, we pick off where we left off last time out, when Wil and Andy met for the first time.

We have a look at what life is like on an acute mental health ward, and some of the challenges that this leads to for patients, both in an immediate and post-discharge sense. We look at some of the basic steps that could be taken to improve re-integration into ‘community’ for those with long term inpatient stays, and just how some basic changes to inpatient activity can potentially start addressing this.
