Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust
Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust provides mental health, learning disability and community health services across Leicestershire, England. The Trust is proposing to close Ashby and District Community Hospital, a proposal which is opposed by Ashby Civic Society who do not accept that ‘virtual wards’ and ‘intensive community support’ can fully deliver the reductions on hospital admissions that are being claimed for them. The Trust runs a Family Nurse Partnership service in Leicester with seven nurses and a supervisor. 24 young mothers celebrated their achievements at a special graduation event in December 2014 when they finished the programme. The Care Quality Commission said in July 2015 that problems at the Trust they had raised in 2013 had still not been addressed. They were concerned about: *Potential ligature risks and ward layouts that did not allow patients to be observed closely enough *Incidents of restraint and seclusion that "did not meet guidance" *Insuf ...

Family Nurse Partnership
Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) is a non-profit organization operating in the United States that connects mothers pregnant with their first child with registered nurses, who provide home visits until the child's second birthday. NFP intervention has been associated with improvements in maternal health, child health, and economic security. NFP started as a randomized control trial. The trial was conducted in a predominantly white, low-income neighborhood, located in Elmira, New York, in the late 1970s. For three consecutive decades, Professor David Olds and his colleagues conducted three similar randomized control trials, gathering research from each trial, which later contributed to the evidence-based development of the NFP. Randomized controlled trials were conducted in Elmira, New York; Memphis, Tennessee; and Denver, Colorado. The outcome of these trials proved that the NFP provided a tremendous number of benefits to children born in poverty stricken environments (Mason, 2016 ...
