Shrewsbury
Ward,
Oxleas
House
does
not
have
the
facilities
to
cater
for
people
with
any
physical
disabilities
the
staff
are
not
concerned
whether
you
are
able
to
get
your
own
meals,
shower,
use
the
toilet
or
get
in
and
out
of
the
premises.
It
is
meant
to
be
a
mental
health
hospital
with
doctors
and
nurses,
they
do
not
change
or
clean
your
wound
and
do
not
have
simple
things
such
as
plasters
or
cleaning
solutions
on
the
premises.
If
you
are
unfortunate
enough
to
be
in
a
wheelchair
the
lifts
are
consistently
out
of
order
and
instructions
for
evacuation
in
case
of
an
emergency
is
not
relayed
to
you
or
does
not
exist.
The
only
time
the
staff
are
active
is
either
when
a
senior
member
off
staff
comes
to
their
enclosed
office
or
when
a
patient
is
being
visited
by
family
otherwise
they
generally
lock
the
door
chat,
eat
and
sleep
when
on
night
duty
ignoring
the
patients.
The
majority
of
the
staff
are
made
up
of
a
certain
nationality
and
needless
to
say
most
of
the
times
it
was
difficult
to
understand
what
they
were
saying
and
I
was
constantly
asking
them
to
reiterate
what
they
had
said,
especially
a
senior
doctor
who
I
met
frequently
on
my
ward
rounds
and
had
to
ask
consistently
to
repeat
himself.
I
feel
the
sense
of
injustice
and
pity
anyone
who
is
admitted
there
and
anyone
currently
inside.
I
admitted
myself
with
the
understanding
that
I
would
get
therapy
from
a
psychologist
three
times
a
week,
I
was
lucky
if
I
met
the
psychologist
once
a
week
for
an
hour.
I
believe
the
senior
psychiatrist
is
under
the
impression
that
prescribing
medication
makes
the
patient
better
but
I
regret
to
say
that
I
have
witness
patients
going
from
bad
to
worse
without
being
told
or
have
any
understanding
what
medication
they
were
prescribed,
patients
are
literally
wondering
around
like
zombies,
it
even
came
to
the
point
of
me
witnessing
a
couple
of
patients
who
went
to
the
point
of
no
return.
The
person
in
charge
of
the
ward
is
equally
as
incompetent,
I
was
tasked
to
make
a
list
of
changes
required
for
a
disabled
person
in
a
wheelchair
which
I
emailed
to
him,
two
months
later
no
changes
where
made.
Simple
things
like
a
lower
bed
to
get
out
of
a
wheelchair
or
help
getting
food
due
to
the
limited
access
to
the
serving
hatch
at
meal
times
(as
mentioned
before
I
was
lucky
because
other
patients
got
my
food).
On
arrival
items
such
as
phone
and
laptop
chargers
are
taken
from
you
and
put
in
the
care
of
the
staff
to
charge
your
devices,
the
staff
damaged
mine
by
pulling
it
out
by
the
lead
and
the
ward
manager
did
not
acknowledge
it
was
his
staff
that
damaged
my
belongings
even
though
I
had
no
access
to
it.
In
the
height
of
summer
when
the
temperature
was
above
30
degrees
there
were
three
fans
visible
in
the
office
where
the
staff
sat,
one
in
the
medical
room,
the
doctors
meeting
room
and
a
state
of
the
art
Dyson
fan
in
the
pharmacy,
none
was
in
the
main
foyer
area
for
the
patients.
They
have
two
signs
in
the
ward
stating:
βRECORDING,
PHOTOGRAPHS
AND
VIDEO
TAKING
ARE
PROHIBITED
ON
THIS
WARD
THE
USE
OF
MOBILE
PHONES
AND
VIDEO
EQUIPMENT
ARE
NOT
ALLOWED
FOR
THE
USE
OF
TAKING
PICTURES
OR
RECORDING
ON
THE
WARD
IF
YOU
ARE
FOUND
TAKING
PICTURES
OR
VIDEO
FOOTAGE
ON
THE
WARD
STAFF
WILL
ASK
YOU
TO
DELETE
THIS
FROM
THE
PHONE/CAMERA
OR
VIDEO
MEMORYβ
What
is
there
to
hide!
When
discharged
you
are
given
a
Community
Practice
Nurse
(CPN)
they
are
there
to
help
you
in
times
of
crisis,
they
are
only
opened
from
9am
to
4pm
and
if
you
need
any
assistance
they
only
tell
you
who
to
call,
a
complete
waste
of
NHS
money.
There
is
only
one
person
who
goes
out
of
his
way
to
help,
Owen.
