This film ‘Practical approaches to minimising restraint’ from the Social Care Institute for Excellence looks at two examples of minimising restraint. In the first example we meet Peter who is living in a care home. Peter has a urinary tract infection; a common side effect of such infections is confusion which is made worse by Peter's Alzheimer's disease. In the second story we meet Florence, a lady in her 80's who had developed a chest infection and had been admitted to hospital suffering delirium. Watch the video and make notes on how the dignity of both individuals was maintained and how the behaviour that challenged was defused.
