Apologies for cross-posting
Dear colleagues
We are currently implementing the new NICE guidance on
ECT and would like to get an idea of how other
organisations with a need to implement this guidance
are responding to the statement -
1.8 As the longer term benefits and risks of ECT have
not been clearly established, it is not recommended as
a maintenance therapy in depressive illness.
I would be extremely grateful if librarians and
information staff could use their scouting skills to
find out if possible the implications for their
organisation of this statement - i.e. does their Trust
currently use maintenance ECT - if so, how are they
planning to respond to the NICE guidance. Or if
possible ask if any senior members of their
organisation would be willing to allow us to contact
them to discuss the implications of this guidance.
Thanks very much.
