"Lack of signs at Gransha hospital"

About: Older People’s Mental Health and Memory Service / Northern Sector

(as the patient),

Memory appointment. Nurse was lovely, thorough and knowledgeable.

But getting to the appointment was very difficult as there are NO SIGNS in the grounds of Gransha hospital. The map that came with the appointment was inaccurate and no help.

Please put signs up to help direct patients. My appointment was for the memory clinic so asking for directions and remembering them was not an option.

My Name is Isobel McDowell and I am the Assistant Team Manager in the Community Mental Health Team for Older People.

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your feedback.

I am pleased to hear your experience with the nurse was a positive one. A memory assessment can be overwhelming so it is important you felt comfortable during the process. We endeavour to ensure we provide an environment that is friendly so we can allow those experiencing it to feel at ease as this is crucial at this time of assessment. I am glad to hear you felt the nurse was lovely, thorough and knowledgeable.

We appreciate your feedback in relation to signage in the grounds of Gransha Hospital. I am sorry you had difficulty finding the clinic as this is not helpful when you are attending an appointment. I will pass on this information in an endeavour to improve signage. We will also review the map we provide to explore ways to improve this to make it clearer.

Thank you once again for taking the time to post this feedback. Feedback is welcomed to ensure safe, effective and compassionate care is delivered to a high standard. We always strive to improve our service in any way we can.
