Jocelyn Solly Resource Centre - Macclesfield

Some of the service I had here was good, but much of it was awful. For example, there was a nurse here who told me I needed to get “more of a sunniness” about me, even though she knew I was feeling as down as it was possible to feel.

Another nurse defended someone who’d told me to cheer up. She also laughed at me, gave me a hard time over me not liking to take walks, and said to me, while giving me a filthy look, ‘Do you dread me coming over?’

Another nurse told me off, then rushed me away when he saw that he’d upset me.

I can see why mental illness is such a big problem. With the mental health services being so damaging, it’s little wonder so many people with depression aren’t getting better.

My experience with this place has been the best I have ever experienced. First off I got lost in the housing around the centre because there was no signage and after a phone call a lady who worked there was kind enough to come and pick me up in her car instead of letting me wonder around, which obviously I was so grateful for! The two people I saw as an assessment appointment were absolutely lovely, they listened well and I felt comfortable! Was a little disappointed that I won't be returning to be honest because it really was a lovely experience. Thank you! ❤️

I attended my first ever appointment for an assessment, having got a copy of that assessment, Its disappointing to read that the important things that I said is not on there, and some information on my responses are totally incorrect and are things I did not say at all. If the nurse you see is not putting the right information or listening well then the whole thing is a waste of my time and theirs, nor can the right help be given. Having seen what I am supposedly suffering from under a certain heading , I looked it up and that also was incorrect. Wow! I have sent a letter to my G.P and to the nurse I saw showing the discrepancies , and of course I need the right information submitted to my regarding my doctors notes for future reference. I know when I was trained as a counsellor the first thing you learn is how to LISTEN! wrong information and conclusions leads to bad management of the patient and future help, very frustrating and I feel like I am back at square one.

I left a request for a call back on 19th June and to date no response from anyone !

I have previously asked ( more than once ) to have a face to face meeting with someone there who is -- allegedly -- a dementia specialist to talk openly about my wife's dementia ; again , no response has been forthcoming !

The Out-patient Psychiatric Department and the Recovery College are supportive, informative, helpful and caring. They will help you to manage your mental illness so that you can lead as normal a life as possible. When crisis comes they will support you through it or refer you to the Community Mental Health Team or the Millbrook Unit at Macclesfield Hospital if necessary.

I have been attending the out-patient department for almost 20 years now and I would not be here without it. I have only recently started attending the Recovery college and I am very impressed with it. Hopefully what I am learning and putting into action will help me to have fewer crisis situations.

Many Many Thanks to all the staff.
