Not sure about this place. Been here as a patient briefly a year ago and on acquiring my medical records very recently I was astounded at the inaccuracy of my notes - one entry actually applied to another patient not myself which is a breach of their confidentiality. Some of the occupational therapist, art and drama therapist, recreational activity assistants were amazing and really helped. However, a select few not all nursing staff and doctors consultants, not junior doctors- not just mine as I’ve had more than one, but a fellow patient’s consultant shouldn’t be working here as they’ve become rather jaded. I understand it’s a stressful job - but patients still deserve basic respect and dignity and not to be made like less than a human.
It been third time up royal edinburgh build now it was very quite/staff where helpfully with my son & we still get suport from staff again with him.everything was clean knew cov19 staff had mask on but was freezing cold night.
When things are good they are brilliant and staff work so very hard. They work very long shifts and under such pressure and lack of services. I have been in need of hospitals care and have been grateful to get it. However, even before covid there has been a massive culture change in this hospital where very sick patients are being sent home and not given the treatment or care they should have. The fear and isolation they have caused me and others will never leave me. These Professionals may believe they are saving lives and just doing their jobs but us the actual patient we are just another body. Another shift they have to get through. It comes down to being treatable at a cost and if you don’t then it’s tough! Being advised to get Private Healthcare that I’m never going to get ever I was told was the only way I would get help. This could be you or your loved one. There aren’t the resources in the community unless you can pay for them so you are left to fight when you are very ill. I never ever believed this could have happened to me but here I am regardless.
I came here after trying to commit suicide the day before. They sent me away with a work sheet and told me it was just because of low mood. I left feeling helpless, stupid, and even worse. The bad reviews made me feel not so alone. I wish they could have been more help, and I hope people who are seriously struggling with their mental health receive better “advice” than I did.
My mum was in and out of this hospital for years, but I will never forget the last time she was here, as shortly afterwards she took her own life. I lost my mum because the hospital refused to give her the help she desperately needed. She was admitted at the end of February, after a severe episode; she was schizophrenic and clearly couldn’t look after herself. Her house was a complete shambles, she didn’t make sense when she was talking, suffered from paranoid delusions. Before I get any further into this, I would just like to say that some of the nurses are brilliant and amazing here and have been really good and helpful but sadly not everyone is. Anyway, my mum was supposed to be kept in the hospital for 6 months; this was something that had been agreed at a meeting and with her doctor who even stated that she was a danger to herself but then on April the 5th, they altered this decision and let her go home early, stating that she was ok to leave, after just two months...she wasn’t. I phoned the hospital as soon as I found out and begged them not to let her out, as she wasn’t ready and was still a danger to herself. You wouldn't have to be a nurse or doctor to see that she was still very unwell and suffering from paranoid delusions. She was saying scary stuff and hadn’t been taking her medication in the hospital. The hospital insisted that she was fine to be released, so there wasn’t much else I could do except accept this decision. So she came out and tried to get settled back into her life, but her mental health unfortunately continued to deteriorate. One month and 13 days later, she ended her life. This could have been prevented if she had been kept in the hospital for the full agreed six months period, or had at least had some care at home...but no care plan had been put into action, and she was left to fend for herself. The hospital ignored my pleas for help when it was clear that my mum wasn’t ready to go home and now my family and I have to deal with the loss of a very loved family member. I wanted to post a review months ago, when it happened, but I thought I would wait until I was ready. I’m absolutely disgusted with this hospital
If I could leave a minus rating for this place I would, my partner went there suffering a severe schizophrenic episode, he was having severe delusions. The woman who he seen in the interview room had a major attitude problem, was not willing to admit him even though he was having suicidal thoughts aswel as the delusions, we were both practically begging for him to be admitted, but no he was sent home. This woman is dangerous and should not be allowed to work with people with mental health problems. This place seriously needs a staff overhaul, because the ones they currently have have no right to be working in such an establishment, but unfortunately reading other reviews this has been going on for some time and is unlikely to change.
Dr Alison Tulloch will soon be facing real justice Not only has she made it impossible for me to get further therapy from another practitioner or a second opinion or via another therapist. She has been allowed to get away with a racist comment far down under the line of professional conduct . However Dr Tullochs institutional racism might be protected by censorship and a unfit NHS . When I set to work that won’t be enough . Telling patients to go and live with their own kind is not acceptable. . Unlike Tulloch I’ve lived my formative life in Scotland and most of its key stages . How this Australian Dr could have determined I belong in London because people might look more like me is a disgrace and endicment on NHS Scotland.
called security and threatened police when i went with thoughts of suicide. attempted a week later. exhaust all other options before you go here
Just like way to many are saying the services and treat mint is shocking they probably treat the dogs and cats better in the shelter than they do in the mental health systems as I have said for many years do everything you can to stay away from places like this maybe try to find a charity organization to support you if you can as far as I say you are better speaking to the wall than these people. # mental health care for all was my goal for 2021, and will remain my goal for 2022 ,
I am in the Ritson Clinic ward and can't believe the reviews they must be talking àbout another ward this place is brilliant great welcoming staff anything you need will be done for Food is the best,nurses and doctors are always willing to talk you through my struggles,clean place few TV rooms can't ask for more ..Just a Big thank you when writing a review you should name Ward because this place is not like pervious other reviews make it out to be
