Hi

Following on from my last comment of November 10th 2021 after which I spoke to a lovely man who said that my appointment would be in July 2022. I am just getting very anxious about it being nearly July and I don't think I missed a letter but could you please check for me and let me know. Thank you in advance for a swift response to allay my fears. Lea.

Hello rTMS service
Do you have the TMS coil or coils for the OPC and SMA?

I spoke to my GP quite a few months ago as we have concerns with our sons development who is 2.5. We suspect ASD, the GP advised they will do a referral and we did receive a letter saying he was on the waiting list but we are yet to receive an appointment. Nursery advised that it usually takes some time but I’m worried he has been lost in the system, the older he gets the more concerns we are getting and keen to get him assessed.

I would like to express special thanks for the outstanding care provided to my mother by Dr. Yeung, Consultant Old Age Psychiatrist, Intensive Home Treatment Team. The doctor displayed great empathy and understanding of the anxiety/panic condition my mother experiences and provided a great deal of support when it was most needed.

Family members were fully engaged in discussion of treatment options during home visits and telephone follow up. Dr Yeung reacted quickly to feedback regarding the effects of particular medication and made appropriate adjustments. The end result is that my mother's mental health and quality of life has been completly transformed. This is something that inpatient hospital care failed to achieve and I am sure is due to the competence and dilligence of Dr Yeung.

Hello, two months ago I had the appointment in my doctor to get a referral for my child about autism, we are still waiting for the appointment, but it takes too long and my baby needs assistance. We are really worried about it. He’s name is Noah. Thank you

With the support of my GP and the Support of the PCP team I have found their services supportive on more than one occasion as well as accessible.

My adult child was on Lesney Ward for two months.
I am utterly disgusted at the non-communicative nature of the RC who, never once, addressed the numerous emails I sent to the ward with regards to the standard of care being provided. They continuously quoted my name wrong and referred to me as 'the mother' when in meetings even though I was present and known to the attendees (online). Never had a face to face meeting even though other carers had made us aware that they had during this time period. Lied to us at the Discharge Meeting - said adult child was under one team when in reality was under another team who were not present at Discharge Meeting (confirmed this lie the next day when I called the relevant teams), accused me of being the reason why the Discharge Meeting was called 'so hastily' (due to my concerns as a mother and carer also because I was requesting four overnight leaves which is a right under s17) which absolutely does not make any sense!
The Discharge Summary from Lesney Ward was vague, had typos and sought to evade the entitlement of s117 Aftercare which has caused 'considerable' issues now my child is living in the community in a completely new borough, unsupported. Due to the standard of the Discharge Summary no care-coordinator has been assigned three weeks post discharge in the new borough. As parents, we were told at the Discharge Meeting there would be HTT input for up to three weeks as a 'bridge from Lesney Ward to the Community'...This was a lie as there was only a 72 Hour follow up call proffered from the HTT and that was it! The Discharge Summary makes no mention of a care plan/follow up plans for support in the community. Also, I noted an important diagnosis that I was not aware of until I requested a copy of the Discharge Summary from the GP Surgery (which I received three weeks after discharge), which Lesney Ward had not furnished my child with upon discharge.

As parents, this was our first time dealing with a psychiatric ward and it has been daunting especially due to the lack of support from the RC in addressing my concerns, even though my emails were succinct in order to respect their professional time. There's so much more to be said but I just wanted to highlight these points.

I would like to thank Mola who treated me with 'such' Respect and was 'such' an 'informative member' of the team who, I otherwise, felt let down by. James, and Jeff for their presence at the online Bexley Carers' Meetings I attended, and Jeff for escalating issues with Bromley Council dealing with homelessness upon discharge.

Please, strive to do better - these patients and their families are not dimwits. Literature all around the hospital and in society constantly reminds us to treat NHS Staff with respect and have regard for their endless sacrifices and expertise - this must be reciprocal!

I just wanted to say huge ‘thank you ‘ to Maria at the reception! What a gem, I was really stressed and needed help (11.06) and she was so kind and helpful! Fantastic member of staff !
