I feel very much cared for by my nursing team

"I feel very much cared for by my nursing team"

About: Rampton Hospital

(as a service user),

I have been involved in the new care plans. I think they will involve me and I will ask my named nurse in my CPA so that I can go through them and correct what is wrong.

I feel very much cared for by my nursing team. They listen to me when I'm distressed. They laugh with me when I'm happy and join me in activities and groups.

I would like to see more staff as we are short-staffed at the moment. This affects staff and patients and staff feel that they can't do their job properly because there are not enough of them around.

I really enjoy my activity groups. When there are enough staff they take us biking, walking around the compound and DRC. I would like to see some ward pets like guinea pigs and more staff as well.

I couldn't go to the 10th year celebration but I was brought cake, fruit, sandwiches and pop.

Thank you for taking the time to feedback on care planning. with you and your named nurse co-producing the care plans I am sure that this will assist with your recovery and enable you to have a positive experience of your care and treatment. Please continue to be an active participant in planning and shaping your care as this will assist in ensuring that your needs are met as they change and as you progress along the treatment pathway.

In regard to staffing, the hospital has a continuous and effective recruitment strategy which entails us regularly recruiting for staff. we have patients on the panel interviews and I hope that you have an opportunity to partake in recruitment process. patients who have been on these panels have reported that they have gained new skills and had a good experience. New recruits have reported that it was meeting with the patients that swayed them to accept the offer to work at Rampton Hospital. the wards are have a rich skill mix of both established and new staff who bring a range of skills to ensure that you and your colleagues have a high quality of care.

Although perhaps you were too ill to attend the 10th anniversay celebrations, I am glad that your colleagues and staff were able to bring snacks and to celebrate with you.

once again many thanks for sharing your views with us.
