The staff are good but the system isn't
Outpatients
April 15, 2025
I wasn't impressed at all with the early intervention team. I didn't have any problems with the people on the front line as they were brilliant and the physios were brilliant. As a system their right hand doesn't know what their left hand was doing.

Great this time

The health visitor was great this time. She was so understanding when I burst into tears. Honestly really nice and she wasn't in a rush to leave the house. She told me to call if I needed anything. I did have to call her because I couldn't get in at the GP and the HV managed to get me in with the GP.
Community health is poor
March 4, 2025
Elderly mother discharged from hospital with many medical issues. Find the support offered by palliative care, GP and district nurse very poor. Get passed between all saying contact other as there specialty. Meanwhile my mother and I (carer / daughter) suffer. I find the system very poor so results in A&E visits which should be dealt with at home care. Community health is very poor.
Had to go private
Paediatrics/children services

I had to go private for a diagnosis for my son as they said he would be in year 6 by the time they would do one. He would not have thrived at school and failed with no support.
They did assessments

They came out and did an assessment (EHCP) that is all that has been done. The clinical partners are really good. They carried out the diagnosis.
Inadequate and understaffed
Occupational therapy services
February 5, 2025
OT is inadequate, they see you once every 6 months and give a you a six page leaflet that gives you a run down on what to do. It's all under resourced and understaffed. Totally underfunded. They can't give my child want she needs. Therapy provision is way way way too little.
Given leaflets

The school nurse spoke to them last year and we found out my daughter was on a pathway, which we never knew. We got some leaflets to support but there is no clear outline whilst we wait for assessments.
Sent on our way
Occupational therapy services

It took a while to get sensory support and occupational therapy for my child. We were given leaflets and then sent on our way.
