Hello,
I have spoke with numerous staff about a patient at Highbury. He was initially in Cassidy ward and now is in The Willows ward. Staff are not helpful as I have vital information to pass on and no one is taking it.
In this instance the hospital is being negligent as they are not following the mental health act. The nearest relative has not been contacted during assessment. The staff cannot distinguish between next of kin and nearest relative. If staff looking after mental health patients do understand the act. Then this is extremely worrying. The ward has not given us the correct documentation.
Furthermore the lack of communication with the family is extremely distressing. It is clear that the staff is acting negligently and will lead to the wrong decision made in regards to the patient.
I am very disappointed and distressed during this process and cannot get in touch with anyone to help.
"Lack of communication for a vulnerable patient"
