ROAD TO RECOVERY ANGELA’S STORY.

Hospital Liaison Service Update Chris Binns, Operational Service Manager

Hospital Liaison Service Psychiatric liaison services provide mental health care to people being treated for physical health conditions in general hospitals. Mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, alcohol and memory problems are very common in general hospital. Research has shown that they are often not recognised or treated Untreated mental health issues can lead to longer hospital admission and poorer physical health overall in hospital inpatients and increased health care costs. An effective liaison psychiatry service offers the prospect of saving money as well as improving health.

What did will be different? Extend location of services and visibility Better Support to hospital staff Increased hours of working Improved Multi disciplinary approach Post discharge support Service for High Intensity Users of Hospital Services

Patient stories

Whats next... Improving follow up for people who self harm Working with Specialities within the Hospital Development of MUPS service Service Evaluation And hopefully long term funding....

The Reference Group

What the people who use our service say…

I was involved in my care, I had choices and options, I could ask questions. I didn’t want to be involved in the CPA but staff helped me understand and I understood it. I liked the staff, they handled situations well when I got upset.

I was sick of stopping in, you had to smoke outside. I used to go to the shops and café with the staff. I was fed up, liked to spend more time outside. Nothing to do sitting bored – chose to watch the TV

Hard Mattress – making my back hurt! Sometimes I didn’t really like the food 50% of people did not like the food!

What we did!

We have ordered some new Mattresses! We have changed the way food is cooked.

We bought a new Computer Touch Screen for everyone to use

We have developed a good timetable of activities!
