Stop Oxevision

Survivor-led campaign to stop Oxevision (now LIO) and other camera surveillance systems being used on psychiatric wards in the UK. Email: stopoxevision@gmail.com

In a telling Q&A at a @rcpsych.bsky.social webinar, one attendee asks, why not use a fake camera so patients learn to behave themselves without the cost of the real thing? 🤔 Take away the slick marketing, this is the mentality we are up against with who wants these technologies and for what purpose

Why does Oxevision not look like a camera? In this video from 2020, Laura Cozens, former NHS nurse at Broadmoor turned employee for Oxehealth/LIO explained this was a deliberate choice to hide the camera from patients behind a screen

"however loud patients voices are, they are not listened to" is a something I've heard all my career, and, in my opinion, the corporatisation of mental health services resulted in more focus on protecting the organisation rather than protecting the people it employed and served.

In the Channel 4 documentary The experiment, few of the visitors flinched at the idea that the "patients" were monitored by camera in the dormitory. Few people are aware that this has been common practice in psychiatric wards up and down the country.

More from Hat Porter's evidence to the Lampard Inquiry last year where they spoke to the current regulatory landscape that has allowed Oxevision to be embedded unchecked in English mental health wards.

Yesterday we published a statement about the lack of action from regulators on Oxevision. In it we quote from Hat Porter's evidence to the Lampard Inquiry last year. It should not take patients coming to harm for action to be taken and it should not be up to us as disabled people to do this
