Cygnet Hospital Sheffield

I was suffering with a huge mental crisis and I was really ready to end it all in the beginning of the year I was then sectioned and sent here and keeley was one of the best there and thanks to care staff I was able to find a small tiny bit of happiness even after my legs stopped working when I became paralysed there were still helpful visiting me in hospital Now I'm fully back in control over my mental health and I'm back on my feet doing what I love the most and that's being a wrestler and it's all because of cygnet and keeley (I think that was her name) and everyone on pegasus ward These are the photos of the last 1 month Thank You Saving My Life

I spent some time at Cygnet Sheffield on Pegasus ward as part of my nursing placement. This was a great learning experience and I saw first hand how much the team care about the young people that they are supporting. The staff, management and entire team were all very welcoming. The Nurses were also very supportive of my learning and helped me make the most of my short time there.

My time at Cygnet Sheffield – Pegasus Ward was a valuable learning experience. I had the opportunity to see first-hand the dedication and compassion the team show towards the young people they support. I’m especially grateful to Stacey, the manager, for her great leadership; my supervisor, Kelsey, for her guidance; Pam, Tapiwa, Lydia, and David, and the amazing team of support workers for making my placement such a positive and supportive experience.

I was a patient on griffin day staff are always brilliant most of the time but the agency staff that are found mostly on night staff are often neglectful and do not care about your well being they would rather sleep than try to keep you safe or engage with you. But other than that most of the permanent staff do care and will try there hardest to make an impact on your recovery I wish I could have continued my recovery journey at this hospital but it was time for me to move on to another hospital thank you to the staff that genuinely cared it meant a lot.

I was admitted in 2022 to the low secure ward and I’m aware things could have changed since then but I also want to highlight some key points Better systems to keep track of personal belongings and provide essentials if families can’t. Policies to balance safety with reasonable access to phones and communication — especially when visits are limited. Ensuring equity in room conditions and access to personalisation or comforts across patients. Improving seclusion environments — making them safe, humane, warm, and calming with distraction options. Integrated physical and mental health support addressing nutrition, exercise, and body image. Greater awareness of the impact of distance from family and compensatory support
