Is the patient allowed to pick their solicitor as there named person?

Will the mental health hospital prison staff except that the family is over and not contact x family members after for example oap parents have died? This includes when the patient is in the community? Discharge to community- the family is over. Not he didn’t want to know his family and this dribble of the mhcts going on and on about it trying to force make you sort it out with them because they have nobody to talk to about you other than other staff members!

Will there ever be away off the medication? Ie antiohycotics? The above talks of how a life of misery is what mentally ill patients live. Yeah. That’s because of the medication and the side effects that patients are suffering from. I’m sorry to the phyciatrists who bed. To e dept that Enoughs enough and that the medications aren’t always helping the patients instead of just only simply calling a medication review,

I’ve ecplaibec to my gos loads of things since online medical requests have being realised. I think the gos should communicate to the mhs on the patients behalf too. There doesn’t seem to be any communication between. Them unless it’s to section and detain the patient.

Where the scope for a complete discharge from the mhs for existing patients?

Conditional discharges- like the patient’s being followed arround by police/military all day or under surveillance for the mhs to read a report and see the evidence. Get out of my life! Is b my reply and opinion to that.

This mental health bill needs to clearly state that the medication can cone to a rend. The side effects have ruined my life. For ever!

Independent mental health advocates (IMHAs) -what’s new that they’ll ever be able to tell you? A medication review which conflicts with everything your solicitors planned, arranged and done for you?

Not a word about taking the patient of medication because of side effects to of the medications. Nothing whatsoever ever at all

All they care about is forcing people to take there precious antiohycotics medications and being employed themselves.

Not what I am looking for so far in the mhb.

Patient at cwp.

Mental health services are in a sorry state, there are some – many – fantastic workers giving their best, but resources are really lacking.
Even more worrying to me though is the culture of services at many times. CMHTs that are most focused on closing cases . Inpatient care that resembles the stereotypical revolving door. It does feel like gatekeeping / system throughput is central , people are not. Community based mental health care is indeed left to the community and to families most of the time.
I am an AMHP and a social worker. Sadly I don’t think the proposed reforms will go anywhere near what is needed . It feels like window dressing at best. The problem isn’t the most restrictive parts of the system, it is everything that goes before and surrounds people on the journey to get to that place that needs scrutiny most.

Well intentions do not cover up the appalling facts that people outside of hospitals have zero rights to proper care and treatment. If professional are serious about ensuring mentally ill people have their rights at the centre of services they should start by looking at the lives people actually live in the community. That ofcourse requires honesty about where priorities are in mental health services. Doctors champion in patient care as the safest and most appropriate, AMHPs are “too busy” to work with people in the community before they condescend to organise a formal assessment, CPNs run around trying to administer medication, support workers plug away without recognition or supervision to actually see people, managers fret about “stats” and families, friends, neighbours, supermarkets and cafes replace professional interventions. Reform all you like, professionals will always skew the system to their own priorities. If the only way to see a professional.is from a police cell to an admission to hospital trying to make it even harder to get admitted isn’t enhancing rights nor is it making professionals more effective. I work in a community team and it’s shaming that as social workers we have the least contact with people and their families and unqualified support workers the most knowledge and experience of how mentally ill people actually live. By the way I use mentally ill just to underscore the point that what words we use shapes our practice. It suits us yo talk about “people with mental health conditions” because the vagueness of that is the professional get out clauses for our failings.
