Lyndon Clinic

Have known people who have attended this clinic when i used to work as a PROFESSIONAL here. I have heard about peoples experiences in dealing with going to this clinic; alot of people say they dont get listerned to regarding their care plan, its all about being told whats best for them. People have been discharged and had to be re instated through their GP have told me, if they hadnt been discharged in the first place and all the stress/distress that caused the individual, he/she wouldnt have got ill again and needed support that, they rightly should have still got but, was forced to leave. Some have said they feel suicidal when told they are to be discharged but, the doctors are more bothered about getting rid of the old and in with the new patients;doctors really are negligent, as to why people attended in the FIRST place! Working in this profession i have known alot of staff leave this clinic as things have really changed here.Old, New/temporary doctors and students are their as it is a 'teaching clinic' but, they need stability for the clients who attend. Social service i was told by one client 'is a waste of time' they havent got a 'clue' they are not professionaly trained to deal with people with a mental illness.Two social service staff started as temps then ended up having a full time job, what experience did they have? the answer is none they have it now, by being given the chance to work with these mentally ill people.The previous Social service manager wore really low cut tops, short skirts flirted with the male clients it really was disgusting to see. Less said about the current Social Service manager the better. Sadly NHS patients who have mental illness, has to suffer this sort of unprofessional treatment unless, they can afford 'private' health care.
