The staff are always there for me

"The staff are always there for me"

About: Rampton Hospital / Personality Disorder Pathway

(as the patient),

I do feel safe on Cotswold ward but we do seem to always send our staff to other wards. Appointments, visits get cancelled so more staff would be good. The ward rounds, sometimes run on when it is dinner time, medication time and I have to rush to ward round, I do get included and they explane what needs doing. Depends on staff like I said staff get moved things get postponed.

I have felt cared for around my health, medication, 1-2-1’s needs always meet. Being cared for, there was a time when we could book the outside track to do things and all the ward could do it, this has been stopped and we would like it back.. I do feel heard if there are things that come up like family; the staff are always there for me. I would like to get off the ward more to do activities I get bored just being sat on the ward and not much to do or going on with the same faces. I would like to do carpentry and sewing. Our community sometime we have OT on the ward have more to do on here would help the community instead of just walking around the ward or going to my room to play games.. I / we need to occupy the mind

Thank you for your feedback I'm pleased you are feeling cared for around your health and medication, it is true meaningful occuptions can also help with your mental health and treatment. Please discuss with your clinical team and Occupational Therapist about referring to the activities you would like to do and they can support you to attend when you are ready for that in your teatment pathway,

Thanks for this posting. As Kay says, perhaps you could discuss activities with the clinical team and OT. But it's great that you feel safe on the ward - that's fundamentally important in making progress.


With best wishes.

Peter

Thank you for taking the time to feedback.

I would also sugguest that you speak with your Ward Manager, Clare Dukes about what activities are available on the ward, as well as off ward.

I am pleased to hear that you feel cared for and that your 1:1 sessions are offered regularily.

Kind regards

Kerry
