Abstract:

Objective Victoria has low numbers of general adult psychiatric beds per capita by Australian and international standards. Hospital key performance indicators (KPIs) such as bed occupancy rates, emergency department waiting times and inpatient lengths of stay are proximal measures of the effects any shortfall in beds. We investigate the real-world performance of Victorian hospitals during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extended lockdowns in 2020. Conclusions The Victorian inpatient psychiatric system is characterised by high bed occupancies in many regions, extended stays in e

Abstract:

The release of reports of inquiries into two related psychiatric hospitals (Lakeside and Aradale) in Victoria occurred in 1991. These inquiries identified deficiencies in patient care standards and organisational dynamics. Knowledge of institutional dysfunction was available from similar Australian and overseas inquiries but nonetheless this knowledge had not prevented organisational inertia and decline in these two psychiatric hospitals. This paper examines the possible contribution of a failed medical hegemony model to organisational dysfunction and discusses organisational life-cycles. It r

Abstract:

SummaryMental health services in the state of Victoria, Australia, have undergone enormous change over the past 15 years, with the closure of all stand-alone psychiatric hospitals and a shift of resources and services into the community. Although successful overall, various areas cause concern, including pressure on acute beds, a paucity of alternative residential options, and suboptimal integration of government and non-government agencies concerned with the care of people with mental illnesses. Certain groups, notably those with complex symptom sets such as substance use and mental illness,

Abstract:

As more health authorities close large psychiatric hospitals the provision of small local facilities in which former residents of such hospitals are housed is increasing. Such houses tend to share many common characteristics dictated both by practical necessity and by deliberate policy – they tend to be large Victorian houses chosen because they have a larger number of bedrooms and they tend to be run in a much less formal manner than hospital wards (Goldberg, 1985).

Abstract:

In April 1995 the Royal Children's Hospital Mental Health Service in Melbourne piloted the use of videoconferencing in providing access for rural service providers and their clients to specialist child and adolescent psychiatric input. What began as a pilot project has in two years become integrated into the service-delivery system for rural Victoria. The experience of the service in piloting and integrating the use of videoconferencing to rural Victoria has been an important development for child and adolescent mental health services in Australia.

Abstract:

The relocation of chronic psychiatric patients in the community may be of unexpected benefit to town planners. Many Victorian mental hospitals, largely redundant in terms of medical use, are high quality buildings – some are listed or otherwise of architectural merit – and they are often set in mature landscaped grounds. Architect John Burrell has developed the idea of using former psychiatric hospital sites on the edges of cities as a basis for establishing a new urban core to outer suburban areas. His plans for the Woodford Green site won him the top prize in a national competition ‘Tomorrow

Abstract:

Motor vehicle exhaust gas suicide (MVEGS) is the second most frequent method of suicide in Victoria, Australia. It is a highly lethal method of suicide with 1.5 deaths for every hospital admission. Australian regulations require all vehicles manufactured since 1998 to have a maximum carbon monoxide exhaust emission level of 2.1 g/km, reduced from the previous level of 9.6 g/km. Information surrounding all Victorian MVEGS between 1998-2002 was analyzed to determine whether suicides occurred in vehicles with the lower emission levels. Between 1998-2002, 607 suicides by this means were recorded w

Abstract:

As the care of people with learning disability has shifted from large Victorian hospitals to the community, provision for in-patient psychiatric treatment has, in many districts, also moved. Purpose built district or supra-district admission services represent the most common model. An alternative is the use of existing general psychiatric beds. In this article we describe the first 18 months of the Hillingdon district service where this latter model has been adopted.

Abstract:

There is a current gap in the nomenclature of psychiatric in-patient services. There are few descriptions of types of in-patient care and over recent years the literature has abounded with debates concerning alternatives. However, it may be argued that these debates have been based on the creation of the ‘straw man’ of the psychiatric admission, which is only fit for knocking down. Although a post-war consensus has emerged concerning the need to abandon the Victorian asylums, this has often been misrepresented as the need to avoid in-patient admission.

In addition, all medical students in the place are my responsibility – a considerable number of young people.

The controversy surrounding Esdaile's treatment of surgical, medical and psychiatric cases at the ‘mesmeric hospital’ at Calcutta is discussed, and the main arguments are set within their contemporary socio-cultural context. Some of the arguments advanced for and against mesmerism contain concerns similar to those that have been raised during later decades in regard to hypnotism and hypnotherapy.

Psychosis (87.5%), depressed mood (80%), suicidal behaviour (55%), physical ill health (55%), restlessness (50%) and fears of harm to self (50%) were identified. Main outcomes were discharge (40%) and death (37.5%). Victoria’s Kew Hospital patient register for 1872–88 revealed 669 melancholia admissions with 30 aged 60+. Outcomes worse

It could be said that one of the chief architectural legacies of the late 20th century, when it comes to be considered retrospectively, will be the wanton destruction and dispersal of buildings constructed in the previous century for the public benefit.

Abstract:

IntroductionThe ambulance clinical triage-for acute stroke treatment (ACT-FAST) algorithm is a severity based 3-step paramedic triage tool for pre-hospital recognition of large vessel occlusion (LVO), designed to improve specificity and paramedic assessment reliability compared to existing triage scales. ACT-FAST sequentially assesses 1. Unilateral arm fall to stretcher <10 s; 2a. Severe language disturbance (right arm weak), or 2b. Severe gaze deviation/hemi-neglect assessed by shoulder tap (left arm weak); 3. Clinical eligibility questions. We present the results of the ongoing Ambulance

Abstract:

To categorize and calculate the percentage error of pre-analytical variables in the clinical biochemistry laboratory. Prospective observational study conducted for two months with documenting the frequency and type of pre-analytical errors occurring in venous samples. The total errors recorded were 1.31%. Insufficient volume followed by haemolysis amounted to a major proportion of errors. Continuous pre-analytical phase evaluation and taking corrective measures to make this phase error-free, have to be done.

I found Dr Wallace's letter (Journal, 1992, 26:330-33 1) most interesting. I am familiar with mental health legislation in both the English and Victorian systems, and both of these — in common, I suspect with many other such systems — have the similar problems of being unable to cater for voluntary patients willing to be in hospital but unable to give informed consent to treatment.

Whereas the history of the Royal College of Psychiatrists has been reasonably well documented, that of its journal, under its various titles, has received little attention. What follows is an attempt to redress the balance, but this could not have come about if my attention had not been drawn to the existence in the College library of the original, handwritten minutes dating from 1841 of the Association of Medical Officers of Asylums and Hospitals for the Insane and the succeeding body, the Medico-Psychological Association.

Abstract:

“Contrary to popular belief, partial recovery from Korsakoff's Psychosis is the rule and 21% recover more or less completely. However the extent to which the patient will recover cannot be predicted with confidence during the acute stages of the illness. Failure to appreciate these facts about the natural history of the mental illness may result in the premature confinement of the patient to a mental hospital” (Victoret al, 1971).
