West Yorkshire & Harrogate Excellence Centre - The Story So Far
My Mental Health, Trinity 1, Fieldhead, Wakefield
Winner at Excellence 2016 in the 'Coproduction and involvement excellence' category.
Awarded 'winner of winners' at Excellence 2016.
My Mental Health was introduced on Trinity 1, Wakefield, as a means of co-creating care plans with service users to give them more say in their day to day lives.
When a service user is admitted, a member of staff sits down with them and goes through a booklet containing questions about their mental health. In such a restrictive environment, giving service users a voice and control has brought about a culture change by empowering patients. Service users have been able to offer staff advice based on their past experiences, and the results have made a huge difference to everyone involved.
This is a really interesting innovation in compassionate care. What we are doing is handing a degree of power back to patients who have been detained under the Mental Health Act instead of simply deciding as professionals what to do, Tim Breedon, director of nursing, clinical governance and safety

Silent Minority part 2
Silent Minority, aired on british television June 1981. The documentary spotlights alledgedly appalling conditions at Borocourt Hospital, Reading, Berks and St Lawrences Hospital Caterham, Surrey.
St Lawrences Hospital
In 1974, the hospital came to public attention with the publication of the book Tongue Tied by Joseph ('Joey') John Deacon who had been a patient at the hospital since the age of eight in 1928. This was followed by the TV documentary Silent Minority in which the hospital featured in an unfavourable light.
The documentary brought out strong feelings at the time given the content which in one scene shows a child tied to a pole in a ward.

Shocking images of people lying on the floor in hospital as NHS crisis deepens.
This heartbreaking image of patients lying on a hospital floor have emerged as the NHS crisis deepens.
A woman snapped the photos because she was so absolutely shocked at the situation in Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
Hospital bosses have insisted there were chairs for the patients to sit on but the woman, who asked not to be named claims this was not the case.
The 57-year-old said: “You can understand people being tired and lying on the floor but it was not really like that,” she explained.
