Very slow and and disappointing

It is very slow and and disappointing. My daughter is still waiting for a psychiatric review one year after referral. Any support is phone based and outsourced and you do not feel that the people you are speaking to are suitably qualified or experienced

Mixed Review FTB Access Centre (Crisis Team)

April 23, 2021
Our experience has been mixed, dependent upon which staff member you get. Some are excellent. Some are poor. We requested a copy of a care plan almost 2 month ago. one month ago we asked again to be told the care plan didn't exist and so someone sat down and did a really good job of writing it with us on their lap top. However we still have not received the copy despite reminders

Not fit for purpose

April 18, 2021
They need more psychiatrists and psychologists. Staff are so busy they cannot properly assess and treat . My child has not had the therapy she has needed and has been medicated instead. They do not write detailed enough reports for ehcps with no recommendations. Crisis team have never helped us. We have had to use our child's benefits for private treatment.

Very limited specialist support for young people on the autism spectrum who experience mental health issues.

No help at all

No help at all, don't check back on patients even when they are having manic episodes they are willing to just do one visit leave medication and not even check up on the patient
