The Agnes Unit

Two patients talked about their care plans. One said 'In my care plan it covers what I eat and what medication I take. Staff give me good care and support.' The other patient told us, 'Staff will ask me if I need anything changing in my plan. A meeting is held every time the social worker comes to see me. I have not got anything written down on the health action plan although I do have annual health checks.'

Some of the patients spoken with had an understanding of abuse and what it meant for them. For example one person said, 'Abuse is when someone is hit in the face or pulling my shirt. I would ring the police or tell a member of staff if I was being abused.'
