I have to say I am not that impressed with the food. I think it’s low budget with 4 basic options. I feel we could do with more choice and variety.
Being a wheelchair user on the ward is difficult as there is no accessible shower on B2 and I have to go elsewhere or have a bath which is not easy. I can’t reach the alarm due to being in a wheelchair should I fall out of bed or in the toilet. Windows are difficult to open because of my disability.
However, staff are brilliant. I was worried about coming into the ward, I thought it was not for me but they have been so helpful so I could totally relax in the environment and talk to people again. It changed my whole views and opinions.
They make me believe in myself! They see things I don’t see and that is so helpful. Staff don’t pressure you. They have helped me so much in my recovery. I’ve gained a new perspective on staff and psychiatric services.
Staff on B2 want you to recover. The care is the most important thing
To the people who save lives - I salute you!
