Just read article and saw: "When I first trained, I was taught how to safely control and restrain violent patients. Now we're trained in escape techniques. That's how badly things have deteriorated". Is this true?? you should feel very lucky! On my tech course we were told "we really wanted to teach you some escape techniques but we've been told we haven't got the time and we can't run an extra course because it will cost too much. Just don't go into dangerous environments". Good, all we need now is for patients to inform control on calling, that they aim to be aggressive, then we won't go in!!!
