Share your feedback: inpatient mental health wards

News - 5 February 2024

Do you have a loved one currently staying on a mental health ward? We're visiting a number of inpatient wards to speak to patients. We'd also like to hear from family, friends, and carers.

As a local Healthwatch, we're able to visit health and social care services such as hospitals to see them in action. This is called 'Enter and View'. Our goal is to identify what's working well and where improvements are needed.
 
We'll be visiting each of the wards listed below to speak to staff and patients. We would also like to hear the views of family, friends, and carers of patients so that we can highlight the perspective of everybody involved in the care and wellbeing of your loved one.

The survey will take about 10 minutes to complete. We would like to hear your views as the family, friends, and carers of patients so that we can highlight the perspective of everybody involved in the care and wellbeing of your loved one.

The results of this survey will be shared in a public report, but your personal information will be kept confidential so that your answers cannot be linked back to you. To read more about how we store information, read our privacy policy.

Improving your care while waiting for surgery

Our work with a local hospital trust has led to a range of measures to improve the experiences of people on a waiting list for surgery. Keeping people updated about their place on a list and taking personal needs (such as housing and social support) into consideration are two of the steps that are being taken.
