Some amazing staff. Some not helpful.

April 19, 2017
Once I found the right staff was very much listened to and cared for. Reception always willing to help but find experience on phone much more difficult. Lots of upheaval this last year or so but feeling mostly supported through this. Really find risk assessment and crisis interventions lacking though. Seems not enough resource? Although the team members I see are excellent, finding my paperwork is often inaccurate and written risk assessments/crisis plans barely recognisable as about me esp around past history etc. Fine if I don't have to see or speak to anyone I don't know but pretty bad when you get a duty worker in crisis. No emotional containment/validation/soothing skills. Gap between needing HTT or CRT and being discharged is. Support for infrequent crisis.

Really need more support with benefits built in.

Thank you for getting in touch. We are glad that our staff were a great help in many areas. You are able to access your records and anything you feel is inaccurate can have a correction or comment added. Our Home Treatment teams do try to help when people are in crisis but they do have a busy caseload at almost all times so need to prioritise their help. We can't always get directly involved in welfare benefits work but we can usually find suitable local services including direct referral to the City Council's small team or agencies like Age UK or Turn2Us. Our Customer Relations team on 0800 953 0045 can offer signposting.

Unreliable and uncaring

You really have to have someone fight your corner to get any sort of acknowledgement from these people. Treatment and support is very poor. In my experience getting any type of help for a mental health illness is very, very difficult, almost impossible.

i have often said the same things about my issues including medication but have not been listened to. i constantly have to repeat my self and the summary notes sent to me are often incorrect. the date of my next appointment and medication type has also been listed on this official document that is meant to equal my care plan incorrectly. i don't trust them. i was in crisis and it took them days to react with no follow up once the did. in fact they made a mistake with my next appointment and hadn't got it listed. i had been given the appointment written by my psychiatrist,my worker who had been told by the same person had the same details as me in her diary. i was told sorry i can't see you. there was no check that i was ok and this was a week after i had stopped taking my med's then restarted on them.
