This is in relation to my complaint about Dr Margareta Posse Consultant Psychiatrist. GMC Reference Number 4231851
She failed but I finally got the help I needed. I think she is an incompetent, malignant clinician and should retire. My letter below is how you treat people.
I was in Lotus Suite for a few days. A luxurious assessment ward with 5 sofa type beds similar to a business class bed. In fact the suite resembled a nice airport departure lounge with access to 2 fridges with sandwiches and frozen Indian meals. Also drinks, breakfast cereals, fruit + snacks.
The young team are very friendly, engaging and the highest standard mental health team you could encounter. I felt like I was in an expensive private treatment clinic. Dave is a very experienced senior member that takes his work very serious, genuinely dedicated and passionate about his work. A gentleman of the highest standards. The girls were very friendly and engaging and for a very young team, the best and most professional highly trained and experienced. I could not praise them more.
Female psychiatrist Dr O' Brian is warm, composed and understanding.
I was sent to Jupiter ward due to bed shortages. Patients have serious complex mental illness and I enjoyed engaging with some of them and discovered some interesting characters. The staff have a lot to deal with and i admire people with qualities to do this intense work and remain detached from the intense and sometimes abusive behaviour. I am not thick skinned but I would love to do this type of work helping people. The menu is good and mealtime is enjoyable and the food and domestic staff are nice and hard working. I love African people which make up a large portion of staff. They have this warmth and smiling positive attitude. Joseph from Togo is a brilliant night shift nurse. He engages with the patients and is funny and playful and I heard some patients say he was their favourite. Leo, Nana and I cant's remember the other names are brilliant. The Greek girl is also very amiable and warm and provides relaxation classes plus other activities.
Consultant psychiatrist Dr Dewsnap is a straightforward decent man. He listened to what I had to say and was very cooperative with my suggestions for my treatment plan for chronic anxiety and diazepam overuse.
An intense environment due to the nature of the heavily medicated very ill patients which could affect those with less severe problems but for me overall a positive, enlightening experience. I have great empathy for the patients with severe lifelong psychiatric disorders. There is a lot of distress and emotive behaviour due to patients access to go out and smoke a cigarette. I did not have this problem as I was an informal patient and following discharge I have improved and I hope the senior psychologist refers me to a psychologist which she said she will do. I can't remember her name. A pleasant young girl of Northern India background.
Overall a positive experience.
Thank you. read more
