Useful contacts for carers – Information Leaflet

This leaflet will provide useful contact information for carers.

To be safe and effective the relationships between staff, patients and carers must be professional, therapeutic and have a clear aim. This leaflet explains the signs to look out for, what you can do and who you can contact to report concerns.

If you want to make sense of your experiences, or if you are struggling with your mental health this leaflet aims to help you to understand what is important to your wellbeing.

The leaflet is about what can happen when people are distressed on wards, as well as the use of force. We hope by raising this topic we can avoid ever having to use force whilst you are in hospital.
