The rooms are lovely, feels like a hotel but very lacking in good outside space. I actually preferred another hospital for the outside space it’s so good for mental health to have big outside areas and trees. I think it would be horrible in summer.
Very nice having lots of groups to chose from, can use the gym if you are so inclined.
The lady who ran the morning groups from OT was so lovely…Lisa the fisio wonderful. Nurses Donna (Scottish lady??), Hanna (wore love hearts) both so very lovely always made time for you. Not just rush to do medicine and blood pressure and paperwork. Also the boss nurse man on Night shifts and Kye very kind and funny.
The psychiatrist always seems rushed, never told me days or times they would review. Just had to wait wait wait. Feel like a pest asking for things.
Also on open ward but had to be given “leave” by psychiatrist and they gave nothing the first week or two unless I smoked. In my opinion, not fair to seemingly discriminate like this…
On smoking…all the patients stand out the front and smoke. Not nice.
