VENUE: Titanic Belfast, 1 Olympic Way, Queen's Road, Titanic Quarter, Belfast BT3 9EP
The 10th Health and Justice Summit: Building Bridges in Health and Justice will be held in the iconic Titanic Belfast on the 9th-10th October 2023. The 2-day summit is being organised by RCGP Secure Environments Group in partnership with RCN Nursing in Justice and Forensic Healthcare Forum and RCPsych Quality Network for Prison Mental Health Services. It will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, and interactive seminars, and will provide rich opportunities for discussing the latest research, for sharing best practice and challenges, and for networking.
The 10th Health and Justice Summit is a must-attend event for anyone working to improve the health and care experiences of people in contact with the justice system, both in secure environments and in the community. The event will be suitable for and contributed to by: health and care practitioners, commissioners, partners in public health, prison and probation, inspectorates of prisons, third sector organisations, policy makers and experts by experience.
Flights to Belfast are less than 90 minutes from all major UK airports and the Titanic Hotel, Belfast is only 5 minutes from Belfast City Airport. So, don’t miss your chance to be part of the 10th Health and Justice Summit, hosted jointly for the 1st time by RCGP, RCN and RCPsych! There will be optional opportunities to experience Belfast at its best during the course of the Summit, including a networking event at Crumlin Road Gaol on 8th October, before the start of the main conference.
Theme
Building bridges between teams, organisations, and systems facilitates better access to safe, equitable health and social care for people in contact with the justice system, living both inside secure settings and in the community. Over the course of the 10th Health and Justice Summit 2023, we will explore both good practice and some of the challenges to providing care for patients, while in secure settings and following their discharge or release. We will hear from experts by experience about how they have shaped service improvements, we will highlight examples of excellence and innovation, and we will place a spotlight on research evidence, identifying existing gaps within secure settings and in the community.
Key Topics
- Access to care and continuity of care: How to overcome the challenges of continuity of care when patients move from the community to prison, when they attend court or hospital, move between prisons, and from prison to the community. We will showcase examples of: good practice and innovation in communication and record sharing and solutions to overcome disrupted referral pathways and treatment, and overcome problems with community primary care registration after short sentences or unexpected release.
- Managing complex problems with mental health, substance use, and dual diagnosis:Best practice for addressing the unique challenges faced by people living in prison, in approved premises or unstable accommodation with poor mental health, with dependence on illicit and prescribed drugs, or with a dual diagnosis. We will share evidence on safe deprescribing practices, psychosocial interventions, and programmes involving social prescribing, peer support, and third sector organisations.
- Healthy environments for people who have experienced complex trauma, people living with neurodiversity, and people living with progressive frailty: How to create compassionate environments and regimes. Examples from secure settings where the environment is ‘intelligent’ (designed to be accessible to specific needs) and programmes of activities have been tailored to meaningfully meet the needs of people living with additional challenges.
- From Segregation to Social capital: How well do countries in the UK and Europe meet their Human Rights obligations and fulfil the Mandela Rules? Considering the recommendations from the 1st World Conference on Health in Detention and exploring the evidence for ending segregation.
- Infectious disease management in prisons:Same principles, different pathogens? Has Covid-19 taught us anything new about the evidence for screening, minimising spread of communicable disease, the impact of protective isolation, and treating individuals for the benefit of the wider population? Has recent learning changed the management of ‘flu or TB? What are the most effective strategies for vaccination? We will explore these topics with experts in public health and communicable disease. We will also look blood borne virus management and evaluate progress towards Hepatitis C elimination.
- Reducing health inequalities and risk in populations on remand, with short sentences and within secure hospitals:The ‘churn’ of the remand prison, the disruption caused by short sentences, and problems with local primary care registration for patients in secure hospitals all increase the risk of widening health inequalities within the justice system. We will examine best practice for reducing this risk, including examples of improved communication, effective use of ‘medical hold’, community sentence solutions, best practice liaison and diversion, and progress towards local registration for patients in secure hospitals.
- Compassionate leadership, resilient teams and healthy cultures: Providing healthcare that meets the needs of patients who have suffered trauma and had difficult past experiences with community health and care teams can be challenging. We will showcase best practice compassionate leadership, trauma-informed care of patients and teams, and identify examples of healthy cultures and communities, that serve to protect teams from vicarious trauma and malignant alienation.
“10TH HEALTH AND JUSTICE CULTURAL PROGRAMME -
We plan to enjoy elements of Ulster's culture and history during this year's summit with tours, music, food, art and sport.

Keynote Presentation - Mental health ‘problems’ as an unfolding dimension of social harm generated by stigma relations
Dr Michelle Addison
Associate Professor
Durham University
Mental health ‘problems’ as an unfolding dimension of social harm generated by stigma relations
This paper discusses the impact of stigma on mental health as an unfolding dimension of social harm amongst people who use drugs (PWUD). Drawing on Wellcome Trust qualitative research (24 semi-structured interviews) we show how stigmatising social relations contribute to a worsening of mental health amongst PWUD. Social relations constitute a messy ‘invisible reality’ that shapes a person’s experience in the world (Bourdieu, 1990), and are often overlooked when thinking about social determinants of health. Participants in this study experienced stigmatisation in interactions with the Criminal Justice System, health workers, friends and family, and the general public for reasons linked to drug use, gender, class, and how they looked, talked and behaved. Stigma had serious detrimental effects on mental health, including increased isolation, feelings of hopelessness, suicidal ideation, and engagement with support services. Stigmatisation shaped how participants saw themselves as a person ‘lacking’ in a valued or worthy identity. This paper draws on Tyler’s concept of ‘mechanisms of stigma’ (2020) to show that stigma permeates social relations and needs to be recognised as an unfolding dimension of social harm that negatively impacts the mental health of PWUD.

Keynote Presentation
The challenges for Treatment and Recovery of Drug Dependent People in the Secure Estate
In 2021 when I published my review around 3 million people in England and Wales took drugs and around 300,000 users of heroin and/or crack cocaine were driving nearly half of all serious acquisitive crimes and homicides
Many of the 300,000 are cycling in and out of prison.Many on short sentences. The community and secure estate services for drug dependent people are therefore related and in many ways dependent on each other. They are inhabited by the same people. These relationships will be discussed in relations to the findings and recommendations of my 2021 review .

Drug Recovery Wing – HMP Featherstone
HMP Featherstone has been a prison which experienced high numbers of psychoactive substance use, reporting some of the highest incidents in West Midlands region – this was having severe impact throughout the prison regarding people’s recovery, people’s health and safety and high risk activities throughout the establishment. The prison service acknowledged these challenges and in line with the Government’s 10 year ‘harm to hope’ strategy, they were successful in winning the bid to be 1 of 6 prisons in the country to have the opportunity for a Drug Recovery Wing (DRW) and provide a place to build recovery and deliver structured interventions to the residents at this establishment. Mark is the Project Lead for DRW at HMP Featherstone and Kayleigh supports from Healthcare perspective. They have successfully developed the DRW and gained additional staffing to be based solely on this wing, such as Sam who the is Psychosocial DRW Lead and delivers community based interventions where peers help co deliver interventions and support each other with their recovery. All three services have worked together to develop the DRW and will present together as a holistic partnership, which has shown to be beneficial to the people who reside on the DRW. Their presentation will discuss the Drug Recovery wing ethos and culture, the whole partnership approach (Prison, Healthcare and Psychosocial) and the Naloxone mission!

HMP Wandsworth is a large, fast paced, high churn, remand, old Victorian, inner-London prison which benefits from a healthcare and operational leadership team that is invested in changing its culture, but it has been tough to know how to start. We are excited to share our journey in making the Care and Separation Unit ('seg' or 'block') more trauma-informed in its approach to working with individuals who challenge the prison system the most because of their risky behaviours and complex physical, social, emotional, and/or behavioural vulnerabilities. We are pleased to have senior prison governors join us to share initial outcomes, progress and barriers we have encountered, how we have overcome them, and what has helped us to work together in our overarching aim: to deliver an integrated service to those in our care who need a 'whole prison' approach to managing their behaviour.

Pentonville Prison Art Project: We Are What We Eat
“When I get hungry I get angry. Everyone does. That’s what is so stupid about the food here. It makes you angry.”
Ahmed G., member of the Pentonville Prison Art Group
In 2021, the Museum of London commissioned artist-researcher Guy Atkins to approach HMP Pentonville to see if people serving sentences would contribute to 'London Eats' – a year-long programme collecting material from people across London on the subject of food.
Ahmed G., Paul, Francisco and the rest of the prison's art group agreed to participate but made several requests. The group would create artworks and texts for the museum as long as members could give an honest account of the food at Pentonville; the museum would pay for their art materials; the art would ultimately be made public; and members could request research to help with their art, to make up for their lack of digital access.
The men’s booklet 'We Are What We Eat’ – available on the museum's website – exceeded all expectations. Together, group members produced a compelling document which unpacks the social, emotional, and physical importance of prison food. Moreover, it calls for change.
In their talk, Guy will relay themes from the men's work and consider what role museums can play in addressing issues across the public sector.

Keynote Presentation- The place of prison mental health services in the national model of care
Professor Harry Kennedy
Consultant forensic psychiatrist, Professor of Forensic Psychiatry
Trinity College Dublin
The place of prison mental health services in the national model of care
How we deliver planned purposeful health services is increasingly set out in written, structured models of care. Goals, pathways and processes, treatment delivery and evaluation are the four essential elements of a model of care. The history of forensic psychiatry and mental health in prisons is currently in the form of custom and practice shaped by reports, commissions and inquiries dating back to Butler amongst many. What has been achieved? For prisons, the emphasis has been almost exclusively on diversion. But the incidence and prevalence of severe mental illnesses in prisons have changed very little. What is the situation in other countries? What is the de facto ‘custom and practice’ model of care for psychiatric and mental health services in prisons now and what should it be for the future? A model of care should focus on ensuring drug free, violence free prisons for the mental and physical health of all. It may be time to reconsider the goal of diversion for those with ‘mental ill health’ and reconsider how health resources, in particular mental health resources for those with severe mental illnesses are distributed so as to achieve the greatest health gains.
