Even though we fall out, we come together

"Even though we fall out, we come together"

About: Rampton Hospital

(as the patient),

Blake ward

I’ve had my best Christmas here and the Sense of Community project had all of us involved in the Christmas decorations. Staff, patients, the secretary, all really got involved. The first project helped but we didn’t win it so I didn’t feel so good. There weren’t many people involved and they didn’t care. We are all becoming friends. Even though we fall out, we come together.

Bingo has been good, with prizes as it brings us together. It has been a challenge getting the time to do our work and with staffing. It has been a challenge getting everyone involved. The positive changes have been that noticing lads who have been arguing talk together- staff as well. We mix better.

 For the next project can we have an Easter themed project? We want to get permission to put decorations up on the main corridor.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience of the care and treatment you receive here at Rampton Hospital. The Sense of Community Project focuses on both staff and patients working collaboratively on communal projects with the aim of enhancing the ward sense of community. I am really pleased to hear that you feel that the project has been successful on your ward and that you had the best Christmas here as a result!

It is always a challenge to get everyone involved but what this project does, is allows people to contribute as and when they are able and we encourage involvement by recognising and valuing each other strengths and abilities.

As I am sure you are aware from your ward community meetings we are about to launch the next phase of the project entitled "what our ward means to us and how we work together as a community". I am confident with your support, once again this phase will be a huge success and I look forward to seeing your Easter themed creations.

I hope you have found this response helpful
