dc.description.abstract | The population of older patients (i.e. 50 years old and above) in secure-forensic psychiatric settings has showed a dramatic increase over the last 20 years. In a study at Broadmoor Hospital in 1995 (Wong et al.), around 8.5% of the total population consisted of patients aged 50+. In 2017, the number of older patients at Rampton Hospital has reached 20% of the total (Data obtained through Applied Information Team) (Fig.1). The old age group is even larger (around 30% of the total) among long-term (i.e. >5 years) patients (Vӧllm et al., 2016). In fact, older patients have been evidence to have a length of stay in secure setting that is well above that of younger patients (Table 1), of older people without mental disorder sentenced for the same offence and detained in prison, and of older patients in general psychiatric services (Vӧllm, Bartlett & McDonald, 2016). In addition, there is very limited research around the experience and the added challenges of ageing in secure forensic psychiatric settings. | en |
