Mental health care needs more resources to build modern hospitals that are fit for purpose and offer the best facilities for service users - that was the call from the guest speaker at our Trust Annual Members’ Meeting.
Over the coming months, we will continue talking to staff, service users and carers about what more we need to do to keep people well in the community and give them greater choice and control over their care. We need to consider all our services and how they interact to support this aim. Two dedicated sessions have therefore been organised where we can do this together.
Staff and service users celebrated the official opening of the Feel Good garden which is now flourishing at Highgate Mental Health Centre after being transplanted from the Chelsea Flower Show last year.
Staff and service users have been nurturing their newly-refurbished garden on Montagu Ward this summer and are now harvesting the fruits of their labours in the form of marrows, tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, corn and other vegetables.
New raised beds were built in the garden and they are now brimming with a wide range of herbs, flowers and vegetables.
"One of the most amazing parts of my role is having the chance to meet so many inspiring students and the privilege to hear their stories” explains Iris Dearne, Recovery Manager as she presented at the college’s 5th anniversary celebrations on Thursday 19 September.
Director of Nursing and Quality, Dean Howells, praised the dedication and hard work of our Trainee Nurse Associates when he spent time with them on Thursday.
