SUMMARYThis paper describes the process of preparing a Clinical Guideline for “NICE”, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence in the United Kingdom. The procedure involves the group appointed to prepare the guideline relating to the various “stakeholders” who have an interest on the one hand, and satisfying the fairly demanding standards set by NICE on the other. The strengths and limitations of the approach based on evidence based medicine are discussed.

Cyberbullying Policy

In this study, we investigated perceptions of cyberbullying within higher education among 1,587 professionals from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Regardless of country or professional role, participants presented essentially the same bleak picture. Almost half of all participants observed cyberbullying between students within the last year, about one in every five intervened in an incident, and only 10% felt completely prepared to do so. Likewise, 85% of participants perceived their institution to be less than completely prepared to handle cyberbullying, with fewer than 50% even aware whether their school had a cyberbullying policy and fewer than 25% having a policy that specifically addresses cyberbullying. The majority of participants perceived cyberbullying as negative; however, approximately 10% dissented from this view. Finally, a group-serving bias was replicated; cyberbullying was perceived as more problematic at other institutions than their own. This research calls for evidence-based, systematic policy development and implementation, including how to train those who see cyberbullying as a positive phenomenon.

New Evidence

National and local policies require the profession to provide evidence on which practice is based. This paper illustrates an approach to meeting the expectations of these policies. Specifically, it describes the development of the United Kingdom Centre for Outcomes Research and Education (UKCORE). UKCORE was developed within a ‘scholarship of practice’ framework, which supports the development of robust partnerships between academia and practice whereby academic knowledge influences practice and practice knowledge influences academia. Within the partnership, all academic participants (educators, researchers and students) and practice participants (clinicians, clients and administrators) are called ‘practice scholars’ and are focused on practice scholarship. UKCORE was founded in London in 2001 in order to support the delivery of existing evidence into occupational therapy practice while simultaneously supporting practice to engage in generating new evidence for occupational therapy practice. This article provides an overview of the academic and practice changes that have been put into place. The changes are designed to support the development of practice that is occupation focused, theory driven and evidence based.

Over the past fifteen years, access to evidence-based psychological interventions (EBPIs) for borderline personality disorder has dramatically increased in the United Kingdom. However, some patients continue to fall through the gaps. This article presents a novel analysis of evidence on patients who are currently unable to benefit from EBPIs and explores possible solutions, with particular reference to dialectical behaviour therapy and mentalization-based therapy. At one end of the spectrum, patients with less severe difficulties often do not meet the threshold for receiving EBPIs in dedicated personality disorder services. The nascent evidence base for a possible solution—implementation of streamlined versions of EBPIs in generic mental health or even primary care services—is reviewed. At the other end, a sizeable minority of patients receiving long-term EBPIs discontinue treatment prematurely and/or experience poor outcomes. This is a highly distressing experience with potential for iatrogenesis—yet the evidence base for what to do next is non-existent and follow-on treatment pathways in services are unclear. Difficulties in the therapeutic alliance, a failure to overcome epistemic hypervigilance, and therapist non-adherence to the model are reviewed as possible contributing factors. The importance of understanding the patient perspective on what happened, considering the role of both patient and therapist in contributing to difficulties, and offering patients a choice in specifying their onward treatment, is discussed. Finally, increasing access to trauma-focused EBPIs for post-traumatic stress disorder is recommended as an avenue for the future.
