Home treatment in Bradford

Aims and method We describe a new home treatment service established in one sector of the city of Bradford.

Results There was a tendency for the patients hospitalised from this sector to have more unstable housing backgrounds. It was found that a higher percentage of patients with diagnoses of serious mental illness were cared for at home.

Clinical implications We argue that, even in the presence of home treatment, there is a continuing need for asylum. However, we make the case that this does not always have to be provided in a medical environment.
