Provision of MHLDA Inpatient Services Data Collection

(formerly NHSE MHLDA Quality Programme Data Mapping)

The aim of this collection is twofold:  

  • To gather a baseline assessment of NHS-commissioned Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, and Autism (MHLDA) inpatient beds at a ward level in England 

  • To review the current physical restraint training systems implemented within the NHS commissioned mental health inpatient services across England, including instances of specialist adaptation

The beds data captured within this collection will be cross-referenced with multiple datasets to provide transparency regarding bed types within inpatient services linked to existing data sets, whilst the physical restraint data will be analysed to contribute to recommendations on whether a standardised approach would be beneficial to patients, staff and organisations. 

This work has been commissioned by NHS England. 

Key points to note about the project are as follows:  

  • Data collection launches the week commencing the 6th of January and closes on the 24th of January.  

  • The data collection template is bespoke to England. 

  • The data collection applies only to NHS commissioned MHLDA inpatient services. 

  • Data is being collected at a census date of 31st March 2024 and for the annual year 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024. 

  • Completed data collection templates should be returned to NHSBN via email to nhsbn.mhlda@nhs.net 

The NHS Benchmarking Network support team can be contacted at any point during the project and are available as a resource for discussion. Please contact the team at nhsbn.mhlda@nhs.net  if you need any input during the process.
