About a month ago I telephoned Gedling LMHT with a couple of queries. The first was answered very satisfactorily - I had asked what was the name of the service my son had several years ago resulting in him getting meaningful activity - I was told this would probably have been the enablement process. My second query followed my son's telephone appointment with his consultant as I was concerned that something might have got lost in translation concerning my son's remarks about involuntary movements. I was asked if I would like the consultant to telephone me and said 'yes' but I did say it wasn't urgent for that day.
Three weeks after this, and not having heard anything, I mentioned this when I attended the first AMH Carer virtual Carer Support Group.
I would recommend this group.
Andrea from the Family Interventions Team immediately offered to put a note on the system asking for Dr Impey to call me. And the next day I got that call. Better still my son was with me at the time and through using speaker phone the 3 of us had a very constructive conversation. This was also good as it was the first time I had spoken with my son's consultant and I think that was also important. This phone call was, I think, a perfect example of the Triangle of Care working and shows it really does make a difference.
"Communication problem but positive result re triangle of care"
