"Excellent care by most. Shame about the minority"

I have been under the CMHT care for several years. During that time I have received some outstanding support from my care coordinators who I’ve always found to be flexible, compassionate and caring. Unfortunately I cannot give the service five stars due to the appalling ‘care’ given by the duty worker last month. When a friend also called to express concern about my mental state they were told confidential information about me, as well as being told I shouldn’t ‘expect everything her (my) own way’. The request was simply to speak to another member of staff due to a previous negative experience with the same individual. Not only did she break confidentiality, she was rude, unsupportive and frankly is a disgrace to the mental health profession (of which I also work within for another trust). The service would have been 5* if it had not been for this individual! If I knew her last name I would be raising a concern with the HCPC.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for your posting. It is gratifying to learn that you were generally happy with the service provided at Nicholson House but I am sorry that you were unhappy with the attitude of this member of staff. It is also worrying that your personal information may have been shared. Please contact me directly, in confidence, so that we can discuss this in more detail and provide you with a full response.

Yours Faithfully,

Trevor Lyalle
