I have met with Micheal this morning for my initial assessment. He put me at ease straight away treating it more like a chat than a formal assessment which made it easier for me.
Micheal had clearly read the information that had been sent prior to my assessment which made me feel that he was interested and cared about what he is doing.
Michael made me feel at ease and I felt completely listened to and heard. He explained what the process was, next steps and then told me through the appointment treating me with care and patience throughout. Would highly recommend
Great experience, great support from Michael. Good service and speedy responses
Michael was very professional but also put my daughter at ease during her initial assessment. He got her talking about things that I had never heard her say before.
Michael approached the meeting professionally but also conversationally. He made it clear that he was looking to answer certain questions, which made me feel that the questions would be consistent for all clients. Michael listened actively, and helped me to develop my answers. We covered a lot of ground over the hour call. Michael explained clearly about what the report will cover, that it is not a diagnosis and the routes I am free to choose once I receive the report. He was clear about the timescale. There was an opportunity to raise questions, and Michael also gave the opportunity to ask questions after the call, should any arise.

Profile
My Name is Michael Curtis, BSc Registered Mental Health Nurse and MSc Advanced Clinical Practitioner with Health Education England and Royal College of Nursing accreditation for Advanced Clinical Practice. I have 13 years of experience in adult and older adults inpatient and community mental health services and seven years of experience as an independent non-medical prescriber. I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with individuals across a wide range of complex mental health conditions, specialising in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of Dementia and neurodevelopmental conditions with both personal and professional experience in both.
I strive to care for others in a friendly and down to earth manner and my passion for care and collaborative working is demonstrated in my track record of achieving improvements in care delivery with national award-winning recognition for transforming patient care.
I’m also enthusiastic about supporting others to achieve their potential and so deliver academic training at a local University with experts by experience as well as providing mentorship and coaching. I have an interest in older age adults mental health and ensuring parity of care and continued development.
Outside of work I enjoy gravel riding & mountain biking, bikepacking, hiking with bothy stop overs, walking my chocolate labs, cooking and spending time with my Family and Friends
