Staff working at Mossley Hill tell us what the new hospital means to them.
"One of the most transformative features for our patients is the freedom to access outdoor spaces at any time without having to be accompanied by a member of staff. It has a massive impact on wellbeing - people have independence and that’s so important.
The communal spaces help us support people who might not have left their rooms before. It brings people together.” John Murphy, Ward Manager
"I'm proud to work here. Quiet spaces for patients to decompress make a huge difference.
Staff even have separate break rooms and agile working spaces. It makes me feel valued.” Daisy Riddiough, Deputy Ward Manager
Facilities management assistant Ellouise Sweeney takes pride in keeping the hospital looking clean and new.
“This building gives people their dignity – it promotes independence and protects privacy.
Self care is part of recovery and the ensuite rooms mean we can help people build a routine where they feel safe with everything they need around them.” Laura Baker, Occupational Therapist
“There’s a lovely atmosphere here. We feel part of a bigger team.
If we need advice, we can just walk up the corridor. The building helps us work together for the good of the patients.” Jamal Jackson, Nurse Assistant
Jan takes the time to make sure family and friends of service users feel confident and comfortable as soon as they arrive.
People’s loved ones are part of their recovery – we want them to know how valued and important they are. This place is full of light and space it lifts your spirits. Jan Borrows, Receptionist
