During our previous live webinars, we asked for your feedback on what topics you would like to see covered in our Learning Series. Well, you spoke; we listened.

Why the en-suite door remains the biggest unsupervised risk in mental health inpatient facilities
What the 3 main areas are to consider when selecting an en-suite door – as told by you
