"Perception that the views of patients not seen as important"

About: Highbury Hospital

(as the patient),

Having recently been an inpatient at Highbury Hospital I was asked by my Community Psychiatric Nurse if I would be willing to speak to the Care Quality Commission as part of their recent inspections as they had expressed a desire to incorporate patient views. I was happy to do this and my CPN forwarded my details to the CQC team. After that, no-one from the CQC contacted me, which I felt was rather inconsiderate given that after agreeing to participate I then felt "on point" to answer a call that never came. The lack of contact also created a perception that the views of patients were not seen as important.

Dear Highbury Patient,

Please accept my apologies for my delay in responding to you.

I am so sorry this was your experience. I imagine waiting for a call that did not come was very stressful and disheartening.

I hope you have been able to speak to your CPN about how you have felt however if you would like to have a conversation with me about this you can email me on joanna.hill@nottshc.nhs.uk and we can arrange this.

Thank you for being so open and being willing to speak to the CQC to share your experience and again I am sorry that did not happen as planned.

Many thanks

Jo
