Read about how our service users, staff and carers celebrated work to improve to the environment of mental health wards on International @Safewards Day here: ow.ly/lQGM50SKbqV #QualityImprovement #patientexperience #Ipswich #BuryStEdmunds @WNsft @NsftQ @AvocetNsft

Next up this #MHNursesDay is Sarah! Sarah highlights the importance of team work in Mental Health Nursing and the shared goal they all have to support our service users. Thank you Sarah!

This #MHNursesDay, Chloe wanted to highlight the "privilege of helping people navigate through difficult times" in her role! Chloe joined NSFT in 2022 and is currently a Deputy Lead Nurse.

Clinical psychologist Olly Hockley welcomes guests and partners to today's GreenMinds Wedgwood Therapy Garden launch. “We want this to be a community space. It’s a garden for all.” Thanks Ollie, Mia and Katherine, and project partners and sponsors, for making this possible.

So privileged to be at the opening of the ‘GreenMinds- Recovery through Nature’ therapy garden @WNsft @NorthgateNSFT @SouthgateNSFT Looking forward to supporting them and hopefully this nature-based therapy garden will be a model for other psychiatric wards to follow.💚💚

Lovely to be invited to therapy garden opening @WNsft and look forward to future projects with community groups @stedscath @NSFTtweets #greenminds

I’m planning on completing a small QI project on medication administration and wanted some feedback on how many trusts/wards still administer medication through a hatch to patients. Any feedback welcome 🤗

Some lovely feedback for @SouthgateNSFT , you should all be very proud of the care you provide. @sarahkingston92

Did somebody say new door signs?🚪 On Northgate ward we have been working collaboratively with our patients to improve our ward environment. Updating our bedroom name panels included adding space for gender pronouns, not to mention a splash of colour!🎨 @NSFTtweets @WNsft

Take a look at these before and after shots of our ward library!🤩📚 Books on display chosen by our patients to make reading more fun! #environmentmatters @NSFTtweets @ChloeTaylorRMN @CathByford

Southgate step into spring ☀️ justgiving.com/page/southgate…

This image, more than any other, shows our significant progress over the last year. There is still much more for us to do – as a trust we have struggled to sustain improvements in the past. However, this time we are determined to make it different.

"For being the most approachable, supportive and kind person. Going above and beyond to ensure staff wellbeing and providing time to anyone who needs it and doing her best to support staff. Never change Sarah, you are amazing." Thank you for everything you do Sarah! 👏

Pancake making last night on Southgate ward. 🥞

A well spent Saturday disposing of old and broken items from Wedgwood to allow us to move towards a more therapeutic environment for everyone. Environments matter.

Looking for donations of toys and children’s books for our family room at Wedgwood if anyone has anything they no longer need. 🙏🏼
