"The Peaks Unit"

About: Rampton Hospital / Personality Disorder Pathway

(as the patient),

well having been a patient that was there for just under 3years I left in July 2018

I lot has changed within mental health services that only become apparent when you leave one service and move on to another service that maybe you can then recognize  the difficulties that hospital had to deal with.

so its fair to say that the treatment you receive their really is second to none

its a shame that there is so many difficulties' with finances at the moment because its what make the stay in hospital easier and some one lesser in time the patient has to spend in services that should in theory save the country money

so a well done to the peaks staff for their work they did with me between August 2015 until July 2018. a big thank you

Thank you for taking time to write your appreciation of the service here at Rampton and well done with working through your pathway and moving on.


Finacical contraints are a contsant challennge for all hospitals and do have an impact on what we can provide however I am really pleased that you have benefited from the therapy, support and care the PD Care Team have provided you with these contraints in place.

I wish you all the best with you recovery

Regards

Adele Fox

Thank you for these encouraging comments. No-one involved in this pathway is comfortable with the financial challenges you mention. Commissioners have had to make a big cut in the money they spend on the service and that has meant a lot of change. Your post reminds us of the impact that the service has on so many of the people involved.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts about the service.

Often when people move on, they don't always take the time to reflect on their experience in hospital.

Its clear that you have and its really encouraging that you've been able to identify the positive impact your stay has had.

Congratulations on your achievement and your progress in moving on and the best of luck for the future.
