Abstract

In England and Wales, conditional discharge is used to provide support in the community, with recall to hospital possible. This systematic review synthesized N=38 qualitative and quantitative studies published between 1984 and 2023 on the conditionally discharged population. Results highlight factors related to reoffending and recall to hospital. Patients described their experiences of discharge, supervision, and recall, in wider narratives of recovery, identity, and hopes for the future. Staff and parent accounts were also included. We propose that one key direction for both is reconceptualising/ reframing recall to hospital as a positive or normal part of recovery and not a failure.
