Enter & View - Burbage Ward, Michael Carlisle Centre
In February 20165, 2 of our Enter & View volunteers visited Burbage Ward, a mental health inpatient ward at the Michael Carlisle Centre.
Our Enter & View programme involves visiting publicly funded health and social care services in Sheffield to talk to service users, their relatives and carers, as well as staff. Visits are carried out by our Enter & View volunteers.
Enter & View is different to an inspection - we focus on what it is like for people receiving care. Visiting places where people actually receive care is a powerful way for us to hear directly from individuals about their experiences of services.
Key findings:
- We found a well organised service with committed staff
- Patients were generally positive about the ward and treatment
- Patients were very concerned about the enforcement of the ‘smoke-free’ policy due to come into force in May 2016
- There is a good range of activities for patients
