"Cancellation in womens"

About: Rampton Hospital

(as a service user),

Cancelled evening functions

cancelled pier meeting 

cancelled care dog 

cancelled church 

what else can they cancel. Its feels so unfair. 

Always down to low staff but feel they could still make these sessions fun. I feel so sorry for drc staff having to be moved all the time. thats not there job and they really want to help and put these things on for us. 

Getting off to do functions makes me happy, dont like it when they said its cause of low staffing. Some of these functions happen once a month. I cant see why they cant move staff across the hospital to make sure these are run. how many functions across the hospital are being cancelled or is it just womens. we get so excited when it is time to do these functions. im not bothered about other activities put on through the week but the bit of normality we have and to get excited for just then gets stopped. It feels like us women patients just miss out on so much compared to other areas.

Thank you for taking time to share this story, and we are very sorry that you are experiencing these cancellations and frustrations. There are lots of reasons why we sometimes have to cancel things, but we do try to avoid cancelling as much as we possibly can. Staffing challenges are raised to senior managers and there are a number of people working on how to reduce the amount of cancellations in the future, this is a focus on improvement for the hospital. We appreciate that sessions are important to everyone's experience, mood and wellbeing and we are sorry that you are experiencing this. Thank you again for posting.
