We understand that this can be a difficult time for you and will support you as much as possible during your stay. Why am I here? You have been admitted to St Andrews Place for assessment of your mental health, functional ability and rehabilitation needs. The aim of admission is to support you in the recovery process and help you to return to your everyday life. Wherever possible, you will be involved in the decisions about your care. When you arrive, you will be welcomed by a staff member who will show you around the unit and allocate you a bedroom. You will be informed of the name of your primary nurse and given this welcome pack. Your personal belongings will be stored in a safe place for you. How Will I Be Assessed? During your stay a series of assessments will be made so that we can fully assess your needs. These will include: an assessment of your mental state. This involves talking to staff who will also monitor your activity an assessment of your social situation to look at your housing, employment, leisure and financial needs A risk assessment to maintain your safety A physical health assessment which will involve being examined by a doctor. This assessment may include blood pressure monitoring, blood tests and urine sampling.
6 within 72 hours, the team will carry out a detailed assessment of your needs. A care plan will then be prepared for you which will set out the care and treatment you require during your stay. You will be fully involved in decisions about your care plan and will be entitled to receive a copy. What will I need during my stay?

If you can t avoid bringing valuables please give them to your primary nurse for safe keeping.
7 What choices do I have? If you have come into hospital voluntarily, you are free to leave the ward as and when you choose, however it would be beneficial to you to stay on the unit to participate in therapeutic activities as detailed in your care plan. If you are sectioned under the Mental Health Act, you may be prevented from leaving the unit. Staff may also insist that you take prescribed medication. Decisions will be made in your best interest. What is the Mental Health Act 1983? If you have been detained in hospital under the Mental Health Act, you must be informed what the Act means for you. You will be provided with information to help you understand your rights. Your Primary Nurse will advise you on any questions you may have. What are Advanced Decisions? Advanced Decisions are about making choices about your healthcare while you are well. In mental health this means that your wishes can be taken into account if you ever become mentally incapable of making decisions during a crisis. An advance decision can be spoken or written and should be regularly reviewed. You will not be able to demand certain treatments but you can state your preferred options. If you would like to make an advance decision, the paperwork and assistance needed, will be offered and available to you. Please ask your primary nurse for further information.

These may include: making arrangements for the care of your children/family members paying urgent or outstanding bills cancelling or rearranging appointments arranging for someone to take care of your pets making sure your property is safe Staff on the unit can help you sort out these issues. What happens to my benefits while i am on the unit? Staff will help you to find out and understand your benefit entitlements. They will work with you to talk to the appropriate department. Some benefits can be affected by an inpatient stay so the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) need to be informed. What about my religious and cultural needs? Where possible, rooms where people can practice their faith can be made available. Chaplaincy services are available, if requested and access to representatives of most faiths can be arranged. Please ask your primary nurse for advice and assistance. Will I be safe on the unit? We will occasionally have fire practices on the unit, where we will evacuate the unit or ask you to move to a specific area. Usually you will be told before the alarm rings. On admission you will be informed where the emergency exits are on the unit and where to gather if the building is evacuated. All staff carry personal safety alarms and can alert other staff members in an emergency. If you have any concerns about your safety, please discuss this with your primary nurse.
15 Infection control We are working hard to make sure we provide a safe and clean environment for everyone. All staff have regular training on infection prevention and control We promote and monitor the use of alcohol gel and hand washing. Managers work closely with the infection prevention and control team and the ward cleaning staff to maintain high standards of cleanliness. Whilst you are here as an inpatient you are expected to wash your hands before meals and after going to the toilet. Maintain good personal hygiene, such as daily washing, changing clothes, frequent showers or baths. Tell a member of staff if the bathrooms or toilets are dirty. Don t be afraid to ask staff if they have washed their hands before any procedure, such as taking a blood sample. How do I make a complaint? Firstly talk to a member of staff. Ask to speak to the person in charge of the unit. They will try to sort out the problem straight away. If you do not get a satisfactory explanation you can talk to the local complaints officer or the local Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) Their telephone number is or Pals@humber.nhs.uk. PALS will be able to provide you with further advice and support. PALS would welcome your opinions of our service (good or bad) please feel free to give them a call. Who can give me advice? Advocates You will have access to an independent advocate who will support you to: express your views and concerns access information and services defend and promote your rights and responsibilities
16 explore choices and options your primary nurse can arrange for an advocate to come and meet you to discuss your concerns/wishes with you. DISCHARGE How will my discharge be planned? Before you leave the unit we will arrange a Care Programme Approach (CPA) meeting with yourself and your carer/advocate to find out what ongoing support you may need when discharged. If you have been under the care of a community mental health team prior to your admission we will work closely with them to ensure you have appropriate on-going support when you leave the unit. If you have not received support from community teams previously, we will refer you to an appropriate team to provide you with support when you leave. You may need ongoing support to look at housing opportunities, returning to work or finding activities of interest to provide you with purpose and structure. Your GP will be informed of your admission and progress. We will endeavour to do our best to ensure you have a safe and timely discharge.
