Cheviot Ward High Secure at Rampton

"Cheviot Ward High Secure at Rampton"

About: Rampton Hospital / Personality Disorder Pathway

(as the patient),

I am on Cheviot Ward. Yes we do have the right amount of Staff. My Ward round get them to do what they mean. Dr doesn’t seem to be at them a lot. Seen them twice since being on ward in one Year! ! ! The Team could support more by giving more information to us. Its a good Standard of care as rules are standard. Due to demands of other Patients care can feel that we are not getting support when needed. To help feel being listened to, Staff (some) don’t seem interested in what we are saying, this does seem to be a specific staff group.  There is a sense of community but to improve having staff available to interact with activities would help increase our community feeling between Patients and staff

Thank you for this helpful posting. I am sorry that you are not seeing as much of your Responsible Clinician as you would like. It is good that there is a sense of community on the ward but I'm disappointed that you don't feel listened to by all staff. I will leave it for others to comment on the need to have more support and staff involvement in activities.

With best wishes.

Peter

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.

In relation to your ward rounds and RC involvement, I have invited our Clinical Director to the Care Stream Involvement meeting. I hope you will be able to attend so we can discuss this in person. I will ensure that the ward receive an invite to attend.

I will discuss your request for more activities with your Ward Manager and agree that this may help improve the "sense of community".

Kind regards

Kerry

Thank you for your feedback.

The Occupational Therapist that worked on the ward has recently left and we understand that has left a short period without cover for Cheviot ward. We have now organised an OT to be regularly on the ward and they are attending the clinical team meeting today to get to know the patients. I hope this will help with developing more activities on the ward and working with nursing staff to make this happen.
