I was in ED with my pre-teen child. While waiting in a cubicle, we could clearly hear another patient speaking with a clinician regarding their mental health crisis. The patient discussed self harm and difficulties they were having. Whilst I believe it is of the utmost importance for their treatment to be carried out, I was concerned with what my child was hearing along with the lack of confidentiality for the patient, as I believe everyone in our area, about 4 cubicles, could clearly hear their discussion.
