Make it more like boot camp

Posted By quantock9z1

"Make it more like boot camp"

About: Rampton Hospital / Personality Disorder Pathway

(as the patient),

I am on Quantock ward. Safety on the ward is hit and miss, my ward round is hit and miss but I am hoping to find out something today. The team could support me more by letting me speak moor about the problems that is going on. When I feel stressed it is caring to let me go to the Gym.. Sometimes it could be better if I feel stressed out and go to my room staff sometime don’t realise they need to check up on me.. To help me feel heard listen to what I am saying, listen that’s all. Do I think this ward has a sense of community…. No! To improve this make stricter rules and boundaries make it more like boot camp.

Thank you for this feedback. The things you say in this posting are very important - especially about communicatin and how best to deal with stress. If you feel able to, it would be great if you could say those things to the clinical team, or to your named nurse, if that is easier. I know that they woudl want to talk to you about them. Communicating in this way helps a lot in making progress.


With best wishes.

Peter

Many thanks for taking the time to feedback.

I do think it will be beneficial if you can explore the issues you have either within the ward community meeting, which I am happy to attend or as Peter says with your clinical team.

In terms of making stricter rules and boundaries, perhaps a discussion around ward expectaions would be useful for the community.

kind regards
Kerry
