I am on my 32nd day on foxton ward, every day that has passed has been a blessing and helped my mental wellbeing greatly. I have met some wonderful people here and all the staff on the ward have always been there to uplift our spirits and kept all patients safe, Credit is due to you all. If it is your first time on the ward rest assured and trust the process.

Hi
They were amazing with me there were fights on the ward and there were issues they sorted them all and they had safe places and the rooms were nice and there was someone to talk to and the food was good in mornings and the staff Ursula was very good she didn’t take any rap from me that wasn’t possible and it was a nice environment I like the green sofa in the lounge room it’s a good hospital and the care for what it is was good.

The patients were walking around, but behind their eyes I saw many a soul die here...

[EDIT: REQUESTED THEY SEND ME MY MAIL I 'RECEIVED' AFTER I WAS DISCHARGED (IT WAS IN TRANSIT SO COULDN'T CHANGE DELIVERY ADDRESS) - A £200 PHONE I SENT FOR REPAIR, I WAS NEVER SENT ANYTHING BY PRIORY DESPITE CALLING AND BEING PROMISED I WOULD GET MY MAIL... AT THIS POINT MAYBE I SHOULD JUST ASSUME A STAFF MEMBER MIGHT HAVE STOLEN IT... THIS FACILITY I SEE AS A MESS]!

Having recorded all of the interactions with the doctors and had them reviewed by other professionals it was found that there was no good reasoning for me to be in this hospital. SECRETLY RECORD ALL YOUR MEETINGS FOR SAFETY! The doctors have no reasoning to medicate many of these people except some false belief system in something that has become a quite evil industry.

ALMOST ANYONE CAN SIMPLY BE PUT IN THESE PLACES WITHOUT REASON AND YOU WILL BE INJECTED WITH CHEMICAL NERVE AGENTS!.. RUN!

The staff were laughing at forcibly injecting a screaming girl who was clearly fearful and seemed incredibly normal in behaviour at the time she was surrounded by nurses. It was harrowing to see how the people who work here behave, they often took glee in the suffering of the patients - several were simply on a power trip throughout my observations. Some staff can be kind at times, others are simply like children with excessive illicit power over others.

Psychiatry in the UK/ WORLD is BROKEN and too often it is not reviewed, or the information not reported by individuals who know the despairing truth of this psychiatric industrial soul destroying network. It is simply a tax funding black hole with only a minor impact. If you want to find the truth, follow the money - Pharmaceutical money for the drugs they pay huge amounts for, Tax money siphoned into private facilities such as this via the NHS, political lobbyists dealing with UK civil servants who take cash for filling up facilities with citizens for profits.

Absolutely shocking. Rude lazy staff. Wrong medication dispensed. Zero therapy. Zero Occupational therapy. The NHS paid for me to be there. Total waste of tax payers money! An investigation was opened after I was unlawfully discharged. I then ended up in an NHS hospital and they were so much better. The private sector and mental health just does not work! money money money. Total disregard for patients care and safety. Thats vulnerable patients care and safety. The staff would queue up in the canteen and get food that would then run out for the patients. I was a danger to myself, they simply did not care. Ive now seen my medical notes and it showed 9 weeks of fictitious information. Keep well out of the way of this place if you can.

Also forget the website as it is a total false representation of the hospital.

No photos allowed in there otherwise I would be uploading loads of stuff to show the abuse and racism that went on.

It was a horror movie!

I was in this hospital for just over 3 years the staff in here was bully’s .I also recorded all my meeting from the staff degrading people not feeding people for up to 2 weeks making people eat hot pot noodles cornflakes ect with there fingers staff being very aggressive to people they are looking afther from ward mangers being very aggressive male staf touching male patients inappropriately and then having safe guarding put in place against these staff but they choice to ignore this . Nearly all staff being rude and aggressive to people family’s staff lafhing at patients and Staff trying to attack patients racially abusing the patients I played my recording to the management but it was all brushed under the Carpit . But this just doesn’t happen in this hospitality it happened i in all 3 I was in they was all the same with all the same behaviour which I also recorded in all my hospital . I also got in tough with the cqc but they are only interested if all the medical records are up to date and how safe the wards are it is socially acceptable for people in mental health hospitals to be treated like this there are so many examples of this on tv in the papers . And no one listens . Sad really because any one’s mums dads kids can end up in places like this and it will happen to them
