"My experience of staff"

About: Midpark Hospital

(as a service user),

I felt like It was awful. In my opinion, the nurses attitudes towards me were terrible. It feels like they all stay in office all day and you're lucky if you get speaking to anybody.

I feel like I did not interest them and felt like an annoyance. I feel they think I have control and must want to be unwell. I believe admission to this ward made me feel worse. Not because hospital is unhelpful for people like me but because the attitudes of nurses who don't see me as worth any of their time is unhelpful to me
