Staff are very kind and caring. They aid you in your process of getting out of hospital.

I feel that we could have more say on the medication that we are given sometimes we don't have a choice.

Thank you for your comment. I would urge you to discuss any concerns about your medication with your key worker. Best wishes, Hugh Jones, Patient experience Manager

Response from Berrywood Hospital
The person making this comment is absolutely correct. Unfortunately sometimes patients detained under the MHA for treatment do not have a choice. Every effort is made to negotiate, educate and reach agreement. However on some occasions , as a result of a person’s lack of insight the team do have to prescribe treatment regimes without the patients consent under the auspices of the 1983 Mental Health Act.
