"My experience"

Dear SLMHS,

Staff skills

My experience of being cared for by the SLMHS Community Mental Health Team - South and West Sligo, has been very positive. They are a dedicated team who do all they can to help those in their care. This is obvious in their practical, yet compassionate approach. This is not always easy when dealing with someone as stubborn as me. I attribute the improvement in my health to their dedication.

However, can I make the following recommendations in relation to the environment of the Tubbercurry Clinic: 

The waiting area is not helpful to the mental health of the service user, as it is very confined and there is nothing to engage the minds of the service users, such as a radio, and because of attendees mental state, there is no engagement with others i.e. conversation. Also it is soul destroying to be placed on a corridor while waiting. 

Overall, my experience of being cared for by the SLMHS Community Team - South and West Sligo, has been very positive, but needs minor improvements.
