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.
The President of the Royal Society of Medicine Professor Sir Simon Charles Wessely said that many mental health trusts are based in ageing buildings which need to be updated.

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.
