"Street triage saved my life"

About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust / Street Triage

(as a service user),

I was at my lowest I ever been. Very close to ending it all. Then the Police located me. Offered me the triage service. I was hesitant and scared. But I thought I’d give them a go as had no where else. 

I met a lovely nurse called Jamie. He was amazing the most compassionate person I’d ever met. After speaking to him we set some small achievable goals and wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him. His police colleague Dan was also very professional. 

Because of them I was able to go back to work. See the birth of my first child and now considering starting my own charity. I’ll always remember the kindness Jamie showed. The signposting was outstanding. If he gets to see this I would like to extend my gratitude towards him. He really saved my life that day and can tell he will go on to amazing things.
