Original feedback for

Warstock CMHT

★☆☆☆☆

Negligent and patronising

I have been see by a consultant and one member of her team. The consultant has told me that she was not there to "pander to patients’ requests". She is a psychiatrist, I have asked that, although she treats me for 'depression and anxiety', she takes into account the fact that I have been diagnosed with ADHD. Her response is that she does not anything about ADHD.
The doctor kept interrupting me, when I spoke to him in a harsh tone, not raising with my voice, or insulting him in any way, he called security and said he needed someone present. I did not object to that. A different doctor had a sarcastic smile on his face during the whole consultation, which made it impossible to speak to him openly. Every consultation there sends me into a panic, and they are supposed to treat me for that?!

Right to Reply

As part of our commitment to providing an honest and transparent view of health and social care services, Healthwatch Birmingham & Solihull encourages providers to respond to comments the public have left.

Alongside ensuring providers can have a fair say in discussions about their services, replying to reviews demonstrates evidence of responding to patient feedback for the CQC, who regularly monitor our Feedback Centre. It is also an effective way to recruit service users for any wider engagement work at your organisation.

Guidelines for provider responses:

  • Keep language appropriate and civil
  • Remain professional and treat people's comments fairly
  • Engage with the content of the review by addressing specific points and avoid cut and pasting a standard response
  • Don't disclose the service user's personal details or any potentially identifying information
  • Where appropriate leave organisational contact details e.g PALS or patient engagement teams for people to get further information

Remember: your response will be seen by everyone who uses the Feedback Centre, not just the original reviewer. All responses are moderated in accordance with our moderation policy.

For full terms and conditions, including a guide to how right to reply works for service providers download this guide.
