"Mental Health services Auchinlea Resource Centre Glasgow"

About: Auchinlea Resource Centre

(as a service user),

I am a 54yr old who has lived with a chronic, complex mental health diagnosis since 1997. Since my diagnosis I was under the care of my previous Mental Health Team for 26 yrs until recently where a transfer of Care was made, to Auchinlea Resource Centre. 

I have no complaint regarding the care I received whilst at my previous practice.

1. Staff were accessible. 

2. Compassionate

3. Understanding

4. Would take the time to get to know patients and see them as individual human beings and not just their diagnosis

5. Would return calls when arranged

6. Treated patients with respect

However there has been a change in the service provided by Auchinlea resource centre.

1. Poor communication, including failure to return calls

2.  Cannot access a meeting with staff to discuss my care/treatment

3. I have not been met in person by staff despite the team making decisions on my care

4. I feel a lack of compassion or understanding.

All of the above issues have a detrimental impact on peoples Mental Health 

I have no idea why I'm finding such a difference in the duty of care by this service provider but it seriously needs to be looked at.

Dear Worrior1

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback

We are saddened to learn that since your care was transferred you have not had a positive care experience, which has negatively impacted on your health.

I have been in touch with colleagues from Auchinlea Resource Centre, and they would like to discuss this further. If you feel able can you please contact Nicola Lindsay on 0141 232 7200.

Thank you

Nicole

Thank you for your response. I feel yet again this is a part of the issue raised. I'm failing to understand how the lead Occupational Therapist can help with the issues I have raised?

I feel the issues should be addressed in person, by senior management. I have tried several occasions to arrange a meeting with the team leader and have been unsuccessful each attempt.

Dear Worrior1

Unfortunately the Nurse Team Leader is currently off, however Nicola is covering all management matters in the first instance, and will be able to assist.

Kind Regards

Nicole
