St Clements used to be a psychiatric hospital. I created this commemorative plinth and placed it in the cemetery off the site where some patients were buried, their graves unmarked. People were touched enough by it to leave flowers, stones, leaves and sticks to show their love too.

A grey rectangular plinth with the text: to the 1000s of psychiatric patients who lived and died her, unmarked and unloved, their ghosts stand here. LEAVE LOVE HERE. Surrounding the plinth are autumnal leaves, on top of the plinth are flowers, a feather, sticks and twigs, and stones.

In fact, she describes Oxevision as a “barrier to engagement” and that it takes longer to do observations than with paper records. She also says it’s “quite possible” that staff might have worked on EPUT wards without any training in the system at all #LampardInquiry

Stop Oxevision@stopoxevision.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Damning evidence from the Lampard Inquiry today about Oxevision (now LIO health). An EPUT nurse admits the benefits are “very minimal”, that it is “incredibly intrusive” and it doesn’t make observation rounds any quicker or more effective, as Oxehealth (now LIO) claim. #LampardInquiry

On the off-chance anyone is travelling between Cornwall and Leeds on Sun 12 July I have a train ticket that’s not being used anymore owing to a change of plans. It’s non-refundable, so at this point would be glad for someone else to get the use of it

“The Information Commissioner's Office has launched an investigation into the company behind Oxevision after campaigners called for an examination of the legality of its collection, processing, retention and access to patient data gained from use in the NHS”

Consent is not the only issue with Oxevision, with bereaved families and former patients with lived experience raising concerns about the safety, value and legality of surveillance technology in patient bedrooms, the impact on patient wellbeing and issues of privacy violation. Oxevision's manufacturer says the tech allows staff to check patient vitals while minimising disruptions to patient sleep and facilitates "rich data collection" There are also overlapping concerns about the intimate involvement of big tech companies like Palantir in the NHS, the risk of patient data being processed for commercial profit and the ethics of mass data collection - including movement and activity from clear video recordings, along with pulse and respiratory readings - from patients who are vulnerable, unwell and often detained under Mental Health Act powers. The Information Commissioner's Office has launched an investigation into the company behind Oxevision after campaigners called for an examination of the legality of its collection, processing, retention and access to patient data gained from use in the NHS. Oxevision was originally marketed for use in detention settings - including by police and in prisons - as a global collaboration between Korean video surveillance giant Hanwha Vision and Oxevision's manufacturer

“Rachel Harger, a partner solicitor at law firm Bindmans who is representing survivor-led campaign group Stop Oxevision, highlighted the ombudsman's findings in this case as "significant" because they “illustrate a pattern of basic safeguards not being met in the deployment of this technology".”

According to the ombudsman, the use of Oxevision "exacerbated her feelings of anxiety, vulnerability and fear" and it instructed Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust to pay Miss B £925 'in recognition of the impact [she] has suffered" Rachel Harger, a partner solicitor at law firm Bindmans who is representing survivor-led campaign group Stop Oxevision, highlighted the ombudsman's findings in this case as "significant" because they "illustrate a pattern of basic safeguards not being met in the deployment of this technology". Harger told Novara Media: "There is a clear legal risk that other NHS trusts using Oxevision in similar ways could face comparable complaints where patients are not properly informed, where consent is not meaningfully sought or respected, or where there is inadequate transparency about how the system is used in practice. "The ombudsman's decision should not be viewed as an isolated outcome, but as an indication of broader legal exposure."
