Stressed at mealtimes

"Stressed at mealtimes"

About: Highbury Hospital / Cherry Ward

(as the patient),

Cherry ward

I hate rushing my breakfast and want to savour my meal. Why do we have to rush?

I can feel stressed at mealtimes and if I don't like the food it can make me feel exasperated. Its good that's there is choice but sometimes you can't get food you like

Good Morning,

Im sorry to hear you have not had a positive experience whilst on Cherry ward. Please be assured that we will look into the mealtime experience and look at how we can make it feel less stressful and rushed for all our patients.


I will be happy to update you with any changes we make as a result of your feedback.

Kind Regards
