After the visit
Following the visit, the clinic has developed an action
plan that indicates that extensive work and processes
have been initiated, with respect to, among other
things, training measures, measures to raise awareness and the development of concrete procedures.
The experience consultant, patients, next of kin and
user and special interest organisations have been
involved in the work on the action plan. The clinic
has worked on offering voluntary follow-up interviews
with patients following incidents involving the use
of force. Information and posters about the right to
complain have been developed and distributed.
Akershus University Hospital,
adolescent psychiatric clinic
13-15 September 2016
The adolescent psychiatric clinic is part of the Department of child and adolescent mental health services
at Ahus. The clinic has one open and one closed
ward and provides emergency care to young people
under the age of 18, as well as elective admission
for assessment and treatment for people between
the ages of 13 and 18. It is also approved for use of
coercive measures.
Main findings
The physical conditions at the clinic appeared to
be good, and the patients had the opportunity to go
outside, either in an atrium or unaccompanied outside
the building by agreement. The clinic had a weekly
overview of activities, and most of these activities will
form part of the patients’ milieu therapy.
