Dr. Charlotte Heath-Kelly's Research Covered by The Guardian

Dr. Charlotte Heath-Kelly's research project, Counterterrorism in the NHS, has recently received press coverage from The Guardian.

The report has revealed that four NHS mental health trusts are subjecting patients to blanket screening for radicalisation, with some referred to the Prevent programme for watching Arabic TV or going on pilgrimage to Mecca. The report, written by Dr. Heath-Kelly along with co-investigator Dr Erzsébet Strausz, is covered in the article, titled "Report finds some NHS mental health trusts screen all patients for radicalisation."

The full report, Counterterrorism in the NHS: Evaluating Prevent Duty Safeguarding by Midlands Healthcare Providers, can be read on the project's website.

Dr Adrian James, registrar of the Royal College of Psychiatrist, published a positive reaction to Charlotte's research in The Guardian, in an article titled "I’m a doctor, not a counter-terrorism operative. Let me do my job."
