About: North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust / Adult mental health North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust / Inpatient mental health care

(as the patient),

I experienced good and bad treatment at the hands of some nursing and care staff on Ward 3 of the Harplands Hospital, Hilton Road, Stoke-on-Trent.

Four staff behaved correctly and helpfully throughout my stay.

A number of other staff were doing their best in very difficult circumstances.

Some other staff, both staff nurses and health care workers, seemed set on making life as difficult as possible for in-patients, or at least behaving in such a way as to intimidate and suppress patients' well-being.

However it would be useful to follow up with you some of the comments which were not so positive and explore these in more detail to see how we can ensure services are further improved. You can do this by contacting;
