The Sense of Community project hasn’t changed my care on Ruby ward. I felt a good sense of inclusion, being a valued member of a team. It has enhanced relationships with staff. Some of the patients and staff have built up strong relationships. Patients feel empowered to have their say. We have a regular space in our community meeting to talk about Sense of Community work.
The security permission was a challenge and so was patients and staff unwilling to get involved. There were some prohibited items found when digging in the garden. There was not enough staffing levels to take part in activities and there have been some negative attitudes.
I would like to ask management if they would be willing to be more involved in the day to day Sense of Community on the ward?
