Sussex Partnership Anmeldelser 

How can this company improve it asks. Laughable really.
Close the the place down.
Cavendish house hastings.
Building not bad from the outside but the service and the people inside need putting down.
Complaining is no good.
Cavendish house wins all the time because other services ie: onbudsman make it easy for them to do so.
Full of pitiful lying sad people who are really not quite right in the head and we think its us who are the nutters.
Why be in a job where failure is happening to many due to the lack of empathy lack of knowledge lack of care and understanding is not given.
Go sit your arses on a checkout chair in tesco and stop destroying people's life's.
The arrogance is out of this world. Having mental does not mean one is silly. Far from it.
One day life will get hold of you. I will brush you aside and keep walking.

Mill View hospital should be shut down. The place is a breeding ground for evil spirits. Locked up on the ward problems are compounded. Needless to say a very very scary place especially for somewhere intended as a place of healing.

The services stink of ignorance. One example a nurse wrote to my mother saying that they have tried to get me to believe my problems weren't of a spirit basis. Why would you seek to achieve that? I'd have a right to my beliefs.

The mental health community tag belies a state basis, and where at present other communities to mental health where sensing things/hearing voices is concerned are being and have been historically put under pressure to abide in the mental health sphere, the state and society are applying a nazism in such practice. An NHS which included these groups would be a similar victory to that won by the Pride community.

The whole set up as a state business is inherently dark, the workers regularly busybodies, the consultants tragically misguided think they’re god’s gift.

I have no complaints about any staff in ats, crisis team or any other services.

The persons who have completely ruined and totally desteoyed my life are Human Resources team, those so called professionals at my disciplinary meeting and the General Manager of Millview Hospital, these so called professionals have been the direct cause of me experiencing on going catastrophic Complex Postraumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Dissociative Episodes at night, Agoraphobia, 3 suicide attempts, and worsening of My Fibromyalgia ten fold. Complex Post Traumatic Disorder makes Fibromyalgia worse. I have been mental health nurse with 20 years exemplary service. I am now on several medications which have caused me to lose 50 per cent density of my upper teeth due to medications I had to be given at the result of HR and the general managers hands . I have severe side effects.

I was cleared of any wrong doing to anyone after a wrongfull arrest by homophobic Portsmouth Police at Portsmouth Pride in June 2025.

I was suspended from work , I received no case to answer from NMC Police and The DBS in September 2025.

HR and The General Manager of Millview Mental Health Hospital left Me hanging for another 4 months.

During the investigation; Police refused a Eye Witness Statement; My partner's Alibi Statement.

HR refused this evidence throughout the whole investigation until the 11th hour.

HR and The General used my Mental Health As a direct weapon which was used against Me in My Disciplinary Meeting before A Formal Dismissal. They accused Me of being a potential danger to vulnerable people which I understand is a slanderous defamation of My Character. I was a Registered Mental Health Nurse for 20 years with an unblemished record.

After My dismissal The General Manager of Milview Mental Health Hospital reported Me back to the DBS once again with the allegation being a potential danger to vulnerable people; DBS as expected; reported NO CASE TO ANSWER as thre was NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT DEFAMATORY AND TOTALLY DIDPICABLE ALLEGATION. I served the General Manager and Human Resources department eith with a 'cease and desist order' for them to stop their lies regarding My good name and character.

I am now in 10k credit card debt because of losing my job and becoming unwell at their hands . I have the strong possibility of losing My home and My 6 chihuahua dogs.

HR and the General Manager need be brought into account regarding their actions against Me. These people do not understand the trauma they have caused. After being traumatised by Police and Senior Management at a hospital that are supposed to 'care' I, My Family and friends that that work at this supposed 'Caring Establishment' are frankly disgusted especially at the hands of HR and the general manager of millview hospital , can have on any individual, including a well loved and respected member of staff. They are not trauma informed, or ADHD Neurodiversity informed.

Any staff with Basic Trauma Training know; A White Male,in their 40s, losing job, risk of losing home and pets is considered high risk of taking the by suicide. The investigation was a muppet show. I now have lost much of my top row of teeth by 50 per cent due to side effects of polypharmacy i was never on, until I was screwed over by HR and panel and the general manager of millview hospital.

My Partner and I are disgusted about how I was treated by a supposedly 'Caring Establishment'. My Colleague's were nothing but nice to Me. However; the upper echalon Management need to be held accountable for their treatment of Me and other Staff; an issue it seems that has been raised by the Care Quality Commission. Investigations I believe, are on going at the way Management treat staff, particularly in investigations that are raised to The Press.

I have almost died 3 times because of the distress caused by this Trust to My Partner, My Family and Myself.
I would not hesitate in supporting others who raise further concerns regarding Millview Mental Health Hospital. Becoming a staff member of Sussex partnership nhs foundation trust has been rhe biggest mistake of my life.

All the trust , upper management and HR are interested in is how the Trist looks, not how they treat their staff. Please believe me wholeheartedly when I say that these people in these so called trusted posts have done significant damage to my life and health. They were committed to sticking to a flawed investigation to sack me to make them look good, gas lighting me, ignoring evidence, and lying and inaccuracies in their dismissal They were almost the reason for my suicide 3 times and almost for corporate induced manslaughter. My partner is witness to all of this. I would not recommend this Trust to work for as your life and well being is disposable to these psychopaths

I have worked ad a mental health nurse for 20 years. My record re my work had been unblemished for 20 years. I really loved my job,.working in crisis care, helping people face to face.many of these patients had eupd and ptsd. My speciality. I loved my job so much. I jacr never harmed anyone or done wrong by any patient.

I was wrongfully arrested for something I never did in Portsmouth, I was suspended for 8 Months. I was cleared of all allegations. The HR team knew I did nothing to anyone and I was innocent. They let me stew for a further 4 months, needless and cruel.
I was cleared by police DBS and Nmc as I had no case to answer
They still sacked me anyway. Spft tried again tried to get me struck off via dbs to prevent me working with vulnerable people.
Dbs again said i had no no case to answer.

HR refused key witness evidence. This is grossisc
Anyway now I am in 8k debt on credit cards and kyst about to lose my mortgaged home and t 6 dogs.

There is lies on my dismissal letter.

There are so many lovely staff within the trust. HR and the general manager caused me to nearly take my life 3 times.
I have been lucky to get out and stay alive

I now have ticks and tourettes at the age off 49 that I never jad before, and cptsd, and the cptsd made my fibromyalgia 10 times worse.
I have been totally stitched up.

My top row of teeth re disintegrating from all the meds I have been put on.

They took away everything home
My identity,.my job and now cuz people in power do not know what they Are doing. They gas lit me .

They broke me.
I remain very afraid of what is going to happen to me with my hime and my 6 dogs.

I am writing my book about what harm has been causef to me.

Mental heath unit that doesn't understand psychiatry & will just twist everything against you - even if you get worse with another condition - they use things like that to get rid of you.

Avoid. If you value what's left of your sanity stay away from this "mental health department". The majority of the staff here are just taking a fat wage off the misery of vulnerable people. The worst kind of scammers.

I'm lucky to be alive.

Need to contact ATS urgently, you can never get through on phone. It will keep you in queue for 15 minutes then disconnect, have to redial and join back of queue. Never got through

Tried phoning crisis team, they only have same number i do. No email address. No wonder so many people are dieing under your care

Life destroying experience thanks to:

Helen Lofthouse - Wellbeing service
Stuart Clark - Wellbeing service
Rebecca Dew - NDS
Hugo Critchley - NDS
Andy Ashby - PALS

I found these people to be uncaring, unethical, aggressive, irresponsible, lying, and cheating. I don't know how these people sleep at night, quite comfortably probably. I nearly died because of these people. Absolute demons.

Absolutely shocking! My brother died due to their incompetence. He took his life on their watch. They hire staff who have no compassion, are unqualified, cold and spiteful. They make asumptions about you based on absolutely nothing and don’t take into account your own insight into your own mental health. They think they know best based on meeting you for a short time on one occasion. PALS are absolutely useless as well. I had to make a complaint and they basically brushed it under the carpet and ignored my concerns. The crisis team is terrible. Don’t ever go there if you’re truly struggling as you’ll be shoved into a room with an unqualified staff member who is exceptionally cold and doesn’t even offer you a glass of water and they’ll try and give you a random diagnosis based on a short one-time meeting and no evidence or background knowledge, then you have to fight tooth and nail to try and get the incorrect information removed. In particular Jason Linksey and Alison Page are completely rude and incompetent and have no idea what they are talking about. I didn’t go there for two unqualified support workers to make assumptions about me and make defamatory comments in my discharge letter. I ended up walking out very distressed. Jason compared me to a dog. How disgusting is that!? People die in their facilities and I’m supposed to trust them with my care. I don’t think so. If you’re ever in crisis, do not look to them for support because they’ll only put you into further crisis. They are responsible for the death of my brother and for the rapid decline in my mental health. I’d rather die than have anything to do with the bunch of morons they hire. How dare two unqualified staff members try and change a diagnosis I’ve had for years and for which my GP has kept prescribing medication for. The crisis team is just that because it will put you further into crisis and since PALS won’t listen I’m taking it further and pursuing it with the Ombudsman. Woodlands should be closed down. So many people have killed themselves in that unit. The place is a shambles. It’s badly run and it’s dangerous. If you value your mental health, don’t go here!!

Terrible. No compassion, no organisation. Uncaring staff who only care about stats and image of the trust.

Awful experience - don't bother. Community mental health team just shove you back to primary care to be referred somewhere else which is just a different team in same trust. What's the point?! Sort it out and act as one instead of playing ping pong with referrals. My poor GP having keep referring me.

Rude, bored, disinterested, patronising, accused me of lying. Left despairing. No compassion

Unless you are suicidal they won’t offer you any help at all. “Come back when you want to kill yourself” is the gist of what I was told.

Just like West Sussex Police Force they don’t grasp the concept that smaller problems become bigger problems if not addressed and the big problems take a lot more money and resources to resolve.

We are told that the government is actively working to improve mental health services and well-being, investing significant resources and implementing reforms. It’s either not happened yet or the money isn’t being put into front line services.

THIS MAYBE DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE BUT I AM PREPARED TO SWEAR ON OATH IN COURT THAT BELOW IS HOW THE NHS BEHAVES JUST TO COVER THEIR MISTAKES IN SUSSEX LOCALITY AND REST ASSURED THEY WILL KNOW WHO WROTE THIS!
A GP SURGERY GAVE A FALSE REPORT ON A PROCEDURE I UNDERWENT
UNKNOWN TO THEM I CONTACTED PALS MINUTES LATER WHO STATED THE REPORT FOR THE PROCEDURE HADNT EVEN BEEN WRITTEN!!
FURTHER ON THE DAY OF THE PHONE CALL BACK IN JANUARY I IMMEDIATELY REQUESTED AN SAR FROM THE SURGERY
ITS NOW APRIL AND STILL NO SAR
THE FOI WERE INFORMED SOME WEEKS
AGO AND I HAD THE OPTION OF COMPENSATION
DESPITE THE FACTS THAT BOTH THE NHS AND THE SURGERY FAILED TO FOLLOW NHS REGULATIONS AND FAILED TO SUPPLY THE SAR TO COVER THEMSELVES THEY HAVE ‘ DONE THEIR WORST TO COVER THEMSELVES’
WELL WHEN THIS IS INVESTIGATED AND THE TRUTH IS ADMITTED BY THE SELF PRESERVING NHS I WILL BE COMING TO THEM FOR COMPENSATION PLUS DAMAGES.
EXPECT AN UPDATE

Having been through the Crisis Triage Team back in March. I was told it was important to get me under the Millwood Partnership wing, for support and help.
Sadly, that wing seems to have flapped rather.
After numerous meetings with a so called mental health expert at the Millwood Unit, I'm left so confused.
Notes not being used or read and understood properly ... letters going astray ... and now I've just been stigmatised as having dependency traits by a psychiatrist citing my trusted counsellor, who was present throughout a 2 hour gruelling session, as having turned our relationship from professional to friends ... Utter rubbish ... yes, you need your cousellor to be your friend, but we have respectful boundaries in place. As for being dependant, despite having always been very independent, yes, I'm finding it tough being independent now with my many health issues, but living alone and having no friends, I have no choice.
His details about my personal history, are also nothing like I told him.
I questioned these aspects by letter, requesting an acknowledgement of my letter ... over 6 weeks later ... as usual ... nothing.
All I could do with is help and support .. no more. Not a list of websites that any idiot can find, from an email address you cant reply to. Which is hard with this lot as they hide behind a wall of withheld numbers on my mobile ... no messages ever left. Is it them calling who knows, but I don't walk around all day attached to my mobile. (So I've eliminated that uncertainty by blocking private numbers. (They can still leave messages)
This is the 2nd time I've had an awful experience with them.
Well, that's it ... really had enough of the lot of them.
The only thing they have done in 5 months is get a diagnosis ... no more.
My advice is if you can afford it, go private, which with my diagnosis now, despite a lack of money, I must try to do to save myself, before it's too late.
Update.
Well, it's early September now ... 6 months after going through the Crisis Triage Team (who were so pleasant) and my Crisis is still growing by the day ... Trust me, you don't have to walk away ... they drop you like a stone. Where I'll drop to, who knows, but with a very likely homeless clock ticking on top of it all, anything is possible.
Yep, I'm in trouble worse than I was back in March. Thanks NHS ... for nothing. !!!
Last and Final update : 2nd November
Well you certainly did a good job on me Sussex Partnership. You don't even deserve 1 star. !!!
I've now received a Discharge letter out of the blue.
I was under the impression that an appointment was being made by the Psychiatrist for me to see a psychologist and get his opinion of suitable treatment for my PTSD ... (whilst I was ditching the Millwood lot, I was prepared to wait for that appointment.
What threw a spanne in the works was a confusing letter from a useless member of the Millwood staff, inviting me to apply for an appointment to see a Psychologist, for a one-of assessment.
This fooled not only me, but my trusted and experienced counsellor, as we were told by the Psychiatrist that he was arranging it.
Given the dates on the letters, it seemed clear that one hand didn't know what the other hand is doing.
Whilst I was due to see the Psychiatrist again a few weeks ago, I had to get my counsellor to cancel it as I had the burial of both of my parents ashes to attend.
It was then that the Discharge Letter was actioned. My counsellor battled to speak to the Millwood unit, but they wouldn't speak to her, sending her to the Triage Team.
The first thing they said was why have they told you to phone us.
Long story short ... they are now expecting me to go back to the GP and get another referral and start again, some 8 months later and much much worse, both mentally and physically.
My dear PTSD has now deeply included the NHS, after 5 years of hell on and off with this lot.
I now have 2 choices .... pay for private treatment, which is tough with no income or stick with my Suicide plan, put in place in 2018, as I was struggling with my Dear Mother starting to get eaten away by Dementia.
The Partnership at Millwood last actually saw me after my counsellor got me in there quickly as I was very suicidal.
Now they've done this .... but my Discharge form says I'm low to medium risk.
I am definitely medium to high .... I'll try too battle on, but this could be the end of the road for me.
Please, please don't let them anywhere near you .... save yourself .... NHS No Help Service. !!!
Me Gone Bye Bye

Very poor facilitators of health care.
I was nearly murdered at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath whilst giving birth to my daughter Chloe in 2014.
After a double failed induction I was not offered a caserean and elected to have one myself losing 900ml of blood in surgery.
I was not given any antenatal classes either.
I refuse to sign their questionnaires now and would recommend other people think twice as they are maliciously inept meddling with clinical records

I would give them 0 if I could. I went to Crawley a&e feeling suicidal. I was asked lots of questions and then told it was for emergencies only. I couldn't believe how useful and thick the nurse was. Nothing will change unless they get decent staff in

Do not use this service for your mental wellbeing. The non clinical staff are rude and not trained. The clinical staff lack mental health knowledge and training as a result, they will make you feel worse and they should not be allowed access to vulnerable patients. They cause real harm to patients and I would not recommend that you use their service.

Sussex Partnership Trust are not fit for purpose. shocking “care”. When an “investigation” is carried out, lies, inaccuracy and total fabrication is what they do. If your loved one is ill, do everything you can to keep them away from The Haven, Sussex Partnership Trust. Ask for a referral any where else but there. There appears to be no leadership, no accountability, no continuity of care. I have never been involved with a team who appear to have absolute disregard for any kind of views or concerns the family may have. They visit, tick a box and go to the next “client”. Our NHS is the best in the world and we would be lost without it. That said, we would all be a lot better off without the current regime “leading “ The Haven at Sussex Partnership Trust.

Where do I start? There is far too much to say so I will keep this extremely brief. After a 24 year battle with the mental health services and exploitation/discrimination in supported living when my Mother was dying 11 years I had serious mental health deterioration and in 2018 and 2019 I had two traumatic and abusive section 2 admissions so bad I am seeking legal action; overall each admission over four months. The first admission I was bullied and assaulted by patient/s and staff. I was illegally forcibly injected under the Nuremberg Treaty of human rights (which requires a wet ink signature) because I was angry and needed my phone to call the Police to retrieve possessions from a crooked Landlady from Council temporary Housing. The staff were refusing to give me my phone. My partner was banned from visiting me (my only next of kin.) I was homeless and and even when I went AWOL due to being not being supported and bullied, I went out of town and slept in a field near my Mother's ashes suicidal and I was recognized since my face had been in the paper as missing and local radio unbeknown to me. The Police dragged me back in handcuffs (one of many Police brutality incidents.)

I was released homeless funding hotels with back PIP and I stabbed myself right through the arm with a sharp knife in December that year, a man from the Foodbank whose wife was dying of Cancer whom he was caring for took possessions of mine. I had a lot of Police brutality and unlawful detaining and when I got back into temporary accommodation, I lost my property when Paramedics took me to the Crisis Team who wouldn't tell me about my valuables and I returned to temporary accommodation to find locks changed and Birthday flowers and cards disposed of!

A month later in April 2019 I was arrested for the umpteenth time out of my partner's flat, suicidal and homeless then dragged out of St. Mary's House in handcuffs and sectioned. They wanted to suggest I needed injections and suffered from Psychosis for putting up a protest at this brutality. I was alone with two corporate thugs (Police Officers) who assaulted me throwing me on my back and being extremely aggressive in the little family room at the D.G.H because I wanted to go and get some fresh air. I had bullying and neglect on the Ward again. I was assaulted by staff, much to the disgust of other patients when just closing the door in someone's face should be taken seriously. I met a well know whistle blower (Ex-RAF fraud Investigator who was Bodiam Ward.) He was exposing corruption and I told him how I had contacted a BBC Panorama Producer making a documentary about my sort of experiences but I was told I was threatening staff even though they were actually abusing me again. In the Ward Review (which I recorded!) The Psychiatrist said they would be happy to help me but when I explained how Adult Social Care and the Housing Officer did not turn up for their appointments, the Ward Manageress threatened me with Police for no reason and I was later arrested, despite the CQC Inspector Natalie Edwards not having contacted me earlier that afternoon. My partner who was banned indefinitely also used his Dictaphone to record a patient threatening me (punching me and stamping on my foot) and the Psychologist and Manageress had walked in and instead of dealing with her, I WAS removed from the bay (again, in the same way I was the year previously. The victim is removed and singled out.)

My partner and I were also assaulted and injured by a deranged security Guard we want to press charges over. I am going to be interviewed by the Fraud Investigator's Power Of Attorney over my experiences. This was a DGH Hospital my Mother wad dying in and it would kill her if she knew of my abuse. Do not bother with PALS OR the Gatekeepers, the CQC. Indeed, lying and corruption all around and I went from Psychosis to all labels being removed and labelled as "no mental illness or treatable condition" which are pure lies and I have, as a trained Foodbank Advocate told me, developed acute anxiety and OCD as a result of the added trauma. I did Care work with the elderly and have had bullying as a carer, I have also had attempted rape and domestic violence but this is the WORST TRAUMA thanks to Sussex Partnership and Sussex Police as well as the Local Council.
