Improvements are progressively being made. A team of activities workers
is now in place. Staff are being augmented across the disciplines and
additional food items introduced, for example apples. A restructuring
has been effected meaning that staff and operational management now work
routinely across the four active ward areas ensuring experience in
different client groups and less opportunity for stagnation. The early
morning has been rationalized regarding potentially excessive
consumption and this issue in general is a priority. Nurses continue to
relate to patients in an empathetic and assertive manner explaining the
rationale behind decisions on care and medication. A newly in post
consultant liaises, daily in person with the wards and the Occupational
Therapy lead is also widely proactive. Increased staffing is
accompanying increases in patients numbers and a staged redecorating
programme is also underway. Patients have been asked to comment on food
and other care provision.
