Ardenleigh Hospital

Larimar lovely ward but the likes of Janet and Pam make it a horrible place and are nasty to the patients, bunch of bullies shouldnt be working for nhs. Refusing patients food and drink just cause they dont like them. Seems manager lets them get away with it ! Need reporting these pair

what can i say, i spent 15 months at ardenleigh hospital and never made much progress there. i'm now in a different low secure and getting the help i need. there were a few lovely staff who i will remember and i'm thankful for them but overall my time there was horrible, traumatic and unhelpful. many unhelpful comments were made to me over my time there and at times i felt hugely invalidated and sometimes even neglected. the staff clearly have no experience on working with patients with eating disorders, and multiple times when i was at general hospital i was told 'you don't want to come back to the ward because if you did then you would eat' and once even suggested i WANTED to be on ng feeds, which is the complete opposite of what i want. i am so grateful to have moved hospitals because now i'm getting better, and the help i have needed is finally being given to me. i do praise certain staff for helping me so thank you for them :)

Well what can I say? Obviously I didnt like it there because its a hospital. XD but I just want to say a massive thank you to the staff on Adriatic for getting me to where I am today. I left ardenliegh 3 months ago and Im now in a rehab facility and getting discharged next month. Most of the staff on Adriatic were a pleasure to work with and definitely helped me get through the worst of my days. Obviously some staff I didnt like and didnt want to work with but the majority were wonderful. Massive thanks to: AD, GW, CS, IJ, SW, TS, AH, SB, BMT, ND, JE, MB, HJ, SH, SM, NC, GA, HD, GC, LM, CS, HN, and so many more staff ! :)

Would not recommend working here as a newly qualified Band 5.
