"R.S.U. medium secure"

About: Wathwood Hospital

(as a service user),

After a successful four years at Wathwood I would like to thank the responsible authorities and make these recommendations.

1. Hobby fairs every six months to encourage outside interests.

2. Shared patient staff canteen for better interaction.

3.Room time-out provision for productive management.

4.Access to social internet space.

5. Separate coffee bar.

Therapy sessions have been worthwhile and education has provided some self development.

Minimal medicinal intervention has contributed to least restrictive practise and management has been based on trust.

I would only request that torches are less invasive and fitted with filters and at some point shower cubicles are replaced with wet rooms.

overall a productive experience and one which I would recommend.

Hi Thank you for the posting. I found your comment very interesting. As always it seems to me Wathwood are on the case already looking at what Lisa has said. It is indeed True lately across the whole Trust Staff and Teams have had to be creative especially around activities. I will look forward to the discussion at the Patient Forum.

Thanks again for taking the time to see your feedback
