The new scheme seems to be working well

"The new scheme seems to be working well"

About: Community Mental Health / Neurodevelopmental Service

(as the patient),

This was my yearly review.

The new scheme seems to be working well and I can see how it will be helpful, for patients like me who find it hard to keep up with multiple appointments.

Having two nurses with own specialities was extremely helpful, and informative.

Could be intimidating with two people if I attended the appointment on my own, however my mum was with me as she usually is so it was fine.

Hello Paprikazx65

My name is Pam Anderson, I'm the Neurodevelopmental Nurse Team Coordinator for Perth and Kinross within NHS Tayside. Thank you for giving us some feedback about our pilot project, I'm glad you feel it was helpful.

Whilst we may not have 2 nurses at every future appointment, it has been helpful to ensure patient care has been consistent across all 3 of our teams. It is good to hear there was some benefit to you personally. We do recognise that having 2 members of staff at appointments can be intimidating and it may be helpful for us as a service to consider how to provide prior notice of this in the future.

We have found that a number of our patients have been benefitting from bringing a support person to their ADHD appointments. I'm pleased that this worked well for you.

Thank you again for your feedback and please remember, you have access to our duty worker to discuss any concerns you may have between now and your next appointment.

Kind Regards

Pam
