Both our mental and physical health are crucial issues surrounding our human rights.
Not only is there a right to health, the very basis of our human rights is equality and a lack of discrimination, something which is also reinforced by Equality Act 2010.
Improving care for mental health is a vital part of this and, in fact, requires only one focus. The focus of all health care services needs to be centred on the individual, with patient-focused care at the heart of treatment, no matter what the issue. This is especially true when providing mental health care.
But how do we make sure this happens, while putting human rights at the heart of health care?
