10. Outcomes & Evaluation Patient & Family engagement  “… have to say that the experience was far superior to any hospital experience I have ever had. While I was up there I was so well looked after, and the doctors were doing 'cyber' visits daily, where all the medical staff involved in your recovery come in and had a mini conference with you daily to assess you and make plans/goals.”  “my sisters and I felt mum was safe for the first time……………… there was just something different about this ward…………we knew what was happening”
