"Outstanding Mental Health Awareness"

My brother went in for spinal surgery on 28/08 and received such care and attentiveness from the team. Due to complex mental health and autism, we requested a room on his own, which was no trouble at all. Everyone, including the nurses, physical therapists, OT, surgeons, anaesthetists and everyone in between, was so brilliant with him. He was treated with such respect and given a voice throughout whilst acknowledging the extra care he needed from his mum and brother. Taking his fidget to the surgery room along with his mum was no problem at all, and such patience was shown following the operation when he was in pain. I've worked in mental health services for the past 6 years in Manchester, as well as visiting multiple hospitals with my brother, and it's rare to find person-centred care like this that isn't just going through the motions. Thank you for being so brilliant!
