"Inpatient stay at Dykebar Hospital"

I recently received inpatient treatment at South ward, Dykebar Hospital for my mental health. I would just like to say a big thank you to all the nurses, Healthcare assistants and the occupational therapy team, for the part they played in giving me my life back. Although I’m not 100% better, I am certainly on the right track (and medication) thanks to them. 

I feel that staff in mental health hospitals are often overlooked and do not receive the recognition that they truly deserve, as they often work under highly stressful circumstances and deal with patients with all sorts of illnesses and complex needs-who are often very mentally unwell. 

I would also like to praise the staff for advocating for myself and undoubtedly other patients; for listening and really taking on board how the patient feels, especially when there is conflicting opinions within the medical team. 

What a great team, thank you so much.
