I started using the mental health services twenty years ago and feel that staff were not proactive about the risks and safety of patients. I remember the times when patients just came and left the ward but unfortunately staff did not intervene as they were not interested in mental health patients.
However I am pleased to say that over the years changes for the better have occurred which has led to better patient safety and the staff are generally interested in working with patients who have mental health needs. I am extremely happy with the care received on Maplebeck ward and by the consultant Dr Iqbal who I believe is very caring and understanding.
I am also very pleased with my social worker as she is introducing me to the mental health groups in my community to help with stabilising my mental health state.
Overall I am pleased with the changes made over the years and extremely satisfied with the support and care I receive
"pleased with the changes made over the years"
