I would like to firstly thank everybody for sending in
there comments. I would also like to acknowledge the
dissatisfaction that certain people feel – this is why we
are here… to help improve!
I appreciate it is not acceptable for tax paying citizens
to have to go abroad for health care – it defeats the whole
objective of being an active citizen and the adult health
directorate certainly regards everybody from all minorities
to be active citizens.
The action points that I shall take from this event will be:
· The lack of use of interpreters at the local GP services –
and with psychological interventions, resulting to the inability
for Portuguese users to articulate and express themselves
· The feeling of being excluded from services
· Extra support to support Mario and the Portuguese project.
These comments and points will be passed onto the BME
service user representative who will express these concerns
at the next mental health service user meeting which is eminent
in the middle of October. Equally so I would like to inform
all the participants of this event that a BME ‘Service
Delivery Group’, will be reforming in January 2009, which
will include commissioners, managers and stakeholders to
the mental health services. These issues will be raised at this
meeting which in the past has been very successful in rectifying
and problem solving BME issues in mental health.
I will feed back the comments from the BME service user
representative onto this page and onto a separate event
to keep all parties informed of the actions that will be
further taken to these issues.
I would just like to remind people that this service is here
to enforce change as a result of many government consultations
and inquiries – hence the ‘Real Voices’ document (2003) –
Department of health, and the ‘Inside Outside’ report.
The BME team has had many successes in raising the profile
of BME issues and hopes to continue to do so as long as people
keep us informed and are not afraid to come forward
to instigate change.

Dear SWUF, members and service users, Hi, I wish you will be fine and here is something new from recent events where \i been. To start with I been to couple of meetings in Coventry, 1. Crisis Team and Performance in Coventry and Warwickshire and the 2nd one was after care plan for patients.
It was found that the crisis team overall is not disastrous. But that is not fit for specifically BME community as it was discussed that and recommendation made to PCT and NHS authorities. The services are ok for general basis and culturally are defective and not sensitive to BME community. There is need for more trained mental health workers who are aware of BME diverse culture for Crisis Team and after care plan; only then the services are going to be effective.
On 3rd Nov 08 I been to Chapel at St, Michael’s Hospital to have a meeting with the Post Graduate students from University of Warwick , where again raised this point there is a need for more BME background knowledge based strategically policy to be effective for the health services. This is so for I will come back next time with more information.
Yours

Caro SWUF, os membros e os utentes dos serviços, Oi, eu desejo que você vai ficar bem aqui e é algo novo a partir de recentes acontecimentos onde \ i vindo. Para começar com sido eu a par de reuniões, em Coventry, 1. Equipe crise e Desempenho de Coventry e Warwickshire e depois o 2 º foi um plano de cuidados para os doentes.
Verificou-se que a crise global de equipa não é desastroso. Mas isso não é apto para especificamente BME comunidade, uma vez que foi discutida e que a recomendação feita ao PCT e autoridades do NHS. Os serviços estão ok para a base geral e culturalmente são defeituosos e não sensíveis ao BME comunidade. Há necessidade de mais treinado a saúde mental dos trabalhadores que estão conscientes BME diversificada cultura para a Equipe de Crise e depois plano de cuidados, só então, os serviços estão indo para serem eficazes.
Em 3 de novembro eu estive em 08 Capela da St, Michael's Hospital de ter um encontro com os estudantes de Pós-Graduação da Universidade de Warwick, onde voltou a levantar esta questão há necessidade de uma perspectiva baseada no conhecimento mais BME estrategicamente política para ser eficaz para serviços de saúde. Esse é, portanto, irei voltar para a próxima vez, com mais informações.

All swuf members should lobby their councillors and M.P. to fund adequately to keep running the swuf activities , which are very useful for mental sufreres.There are so many things are going on to cut funding and it appears the preferential treatment to voices 4 choices.
yours sincerely surinder
