The Bibby Stockholm is a floating barge off Portland Port in Dorset which will be used to house 500 asylum seekers in the coming weeks. As the Home Office insists it's ‘not a prison’, here's what it looks like 👇
Basic beige rooms with metal bunk beds, disconnected TVs that will never be turned on and long corridors – this is what the inside of the Bibby Stockholm looks like.EnglandSurrounded by 20ft-high fences, crawling with CCTV and 24/7 security, it has been described as a ‘floating prison’ by campaigners who say it will be overcrowded.
Instead, residents will be encouraged to socialise or watch programmes and films in one of four communal TV rooms, and can also learn English in a classroom and worship in a dedicated space.But given how long asylum claims take to process, the conditions may look a lot different when the barge is at capacity.A view of the courtyard where fitness equipment will be installed Deputy director for asylum accommodation Leanne Palk said: ‘It is not a floating prison.

Evidence from the first Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs) randomised controlled trial in India: SMAs increase the satisfaction, knowledge, and medication compliance of patients with glaucomaIn Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs), patients with similar conditions meet the physician together and each receives one-on-one attention. SMAs can improve outcomes and physician productivity. Yet privacy concerns have stymied adoption. In physician-deprived nations, patients’ utility from improved access may outweigh their disutility from loss of privacy. Ours is to our knowledge the first SMA trial for any disease, in India, where doctors are scarce. In a 1,000-patient, single-site, randomized controlled trial at Aravind Eye Hospital, Pondicherry, we compared SMAs and one-on-one appointments, over four successive visits, for patients with glaucoma. We examined patients’ satisfaction, knowledge, intention-to-follow-up, follow-up rates, and medication compliance rates (primary outcomes) using intention-to-treat analysis. Of 1,034 patients invited between July 12, 2016 –July 19, 2018, 1,000 (96.7%) consented to participate, and were randomly assigned to either SMAs (NSMA=500) or one-on-one appointments (N1-1=500). Patients who received SMAs showed higher satisfaction (MeanSMA=4.955 (SD 0.241), Mean1-1=4.920 (SD 0.326); difference in means 0.035; 95% CI, 0.017–0.054, p=0.0002) and knowledge (MeanSMA=3.416 (SD 1.340), Mean1-1=3.267 (SD 1.492); difference in means 0.149; 95% CI, 0.057–0.241, p=0.002) than patients who received one-on-one appointments. Across conditions, there was no difference in patients’ intention-to-follow-up (MeanSMA=4.989 (SD 0.118), Mean1-1=4.986 (SD 0.149); difference in means 0.003; 95% CI, -0.006–0.012, p=0.481) and actual follow-up rates (MeanSMA=87.5% (SD 0.372), Mean1-1=88.7% (SD 0.338); difference in means -0.012; 95% CI, -0.039–0.015, p=0.377). Patients who received SMAs exhibited higher medication compliance rates (MeanSMA=97.0% (SD 0.180), Mean1-1=94.9% (SD 0.238); difference in means 0.020; 95% CI, 0.004–0.036, p=0.013). SMAs improved satisfaction, learning, and medication compliance, without compromising follow-up rates or measured cl
