The session explored:
The impact of the inpatient environment on physical health.
Challenges in routine monitoring and continuity of care post-discharge.
Insights from qualitative interviews with young people about their experiences.
Recommendations for clinical practice, including improved monitoring, staff training, and co-designed interventions.
The interplay between mental and physical health in adolescent inpatient care and practical strategies to improve outcomes.
