Better for those who are low risk

"Better for those who are low risk"

About: Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust / Nottingham Recovery College

(as a service user),

The recovery college classes were informative and teacher were knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It is a good as an early intervention, but I feel it would be better suited to those in *primary* mental health services.

As someone under secondary mental health care, this is not enough and I am still waiting for personalised therapy options. There needs to be more options for those those in secondary care, and personalized plans and therapy – all of which I have not received. I also think the NHS should not based your access to treatment on risk level. Until I am high risk I cannot access anything and I am just waiting until I am more at risk.

Recovery college would be better for those who are low risk and are experiencing mental health conditions for the first time, not those who have been through the system time and time again over the years…

Hello hippoet37

Thank you for taking time to give us your feedback it is very much appreciated.

Also thank you for acknowledging that the classes were informative and the teachers were knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

In relation to your wider points, as you have correctly identified, our service is not therapy.

I hear your personal wish for 'personalised therapy' which is something we do not offer.

I am happy if you wish to discuss this further so I can pass your concerns and views on to a manager who has oversight over adult community mental health services. My number is 0115 956 0827 please do get in touch if you wish to discuss further.

Best wishes

Helen
