"Mental Health Care"

About: Cohuna District Hospital / Acute Care

(as the patient),

I would like to put forward a glowing review for a Nurse that was Compassionate, Caring and understanding, but furthermore non judgemental of me and the help I was requiring at that particular time. I have Schizophrenia and mental health issues and she sympathised with me and made me feel like I was no trouble and couldn’t have honestly made me feel more at ease if she tried. Her name is Fiona and she was fabulous!!

In small towns or with uninformed people you can often feel very alone and a burden, but Fiona connected me with a doctor via Telehealth and both of them provided the care I needed at the time. I think Fiona is the one you need to go to when you’re feeling unwell mentally and the same with Dr Craig they pointed me in the right direction and helped me in my time of need with no judgement and a warm reception. I’m now getting the help I need and I wish to thank them for all they done.

Dear A Happy and Heard Patient,

Thank you for taking the time to provide CDH with feedback, I know what an effort this is. Our CDH values are care, accountability, respect and equality. For those in our community living with mental health symptoms, these values are really important to us so that you get the level of care that you need and deserve. This is mental health month so again it is an opportunity to raise our awareness. Both Fiona and Dr Craig displayed CARE values to you in a most professional and caring way. We have passed on your feedback to them.

Take care.

Bernadette
