I came here after been locked up for the night in a cell in Durham. I have as here for 10 days. Staff were absolutely amazing I was not from the area I was from Co Durham The rooms were lovely I had a hypomanic episode and was brought here n so pleased I was as no one knew me which made me more comfortable It been over a year now n I’d like thank you all for been so nice with me. Food was lovely on arrival I thought it was a private hospital Although I struggled with been there the staff were so nice with me n helped me get well and settle. Thank you Julie x from Co Durham.

My daughter recently spent 2 weeks in Esk ward have experienced a severe manic episode. The staff were excellent. Highly professional and respectful. They spent time with patients addressing their practical, functional and emotional needs. The Psychiatrist was excellent and listened to the views of my daughter, myself and staff to develop the best treatment plan for my daughter going forward. My daughter was able to have supported leave and was ultimately discharged after 10 days. thank you
