Mental health crisis

I was sent here for one night when I was having a crisis. But it's like a vicious circle and you're sent home.
Do not recommend!

The nurses and some of the hcas on melissa suite are very judgemental and juvenile in their behaviour i was there for a long time but after discharge and still ongoing their attitude towards me are shambolic and absolutely disgusting because of their actions it has caused a number of mental health teams to be very dismissive of my mental health and therefore do not wish to help me i have had nurses at another hospital completely turn their backs on me due to mellisa suite
Excellent care and support

My experience on the melissa suite at the oleaster is one of pure admiration for the nurses on there although a young team they are so mature and extremely knowledgeable and have so much patience the staff morale is amazing they also know how to brighten up even the darkest of days they will put music on and have fun with us they truly are a great bunch of people
oleaster is the best hospital

I was sent to the hospital for treatment
Poor bed availability
November 14, 2018
My son was send out of area as there were no beds available in Oleaster part of BSMHFT. He was in Manchester for weeks/months, causing us family considerable distress i.e. going up and down the M6 and we are now in our 70’s, which is totally unacceptable.
There was a safeguarding issue when he was in Woking and he ran into a busy main road when he was not campus mentis and stopped a van. One of the man in the van pushed him on the right hand side of his head when he was transferred to the hospital in Woking. He wanted to get home and he could have been killed ! he was there over night and was not secure enough. This situation should not have occurred had a bed been available locally.
