Secure Environments Network (SEN)
The Secure Environments Network (SEN)
brings together clinicians who work within secure environments and
with the socially-excluded to promote best practice in the
provision of care.
The network was created after a need was
identified for further supporting the clinicians working with these
challenging and often isolated environments.
SEN aims to develop, support and encourage the
role of doctors in providing primary care in secure environments
such as the Prison Service and Probation Service.
It does this by supporting and encouraging
training for GPs who work in these areas and support the continuity
of care and integration of patients from secure environments on
return to the wider community.
It also supports and encourages the
development of research into primary care in secure environments
and the professional leadership of this group of doctors across
Wales.
The network is chaired by Dr Jake
Hard held its first meeting in October 2008
and meetings are held quarterly each year.
If you would like to find out more about the
network then various background documents are available from our
