The local resolution meeting took place nearly three weeks ago.
At the meeting I was promised notes from the meeting would be sent to me and to my advocate.
Two weeks later I was promised I would have the notes by the end of the week.
Two days ago my advocate was promised we would be sent notes from the meeting by today (ie the end of the week).
Two weeks ago I requested that I be emailed copies of letters and notes.
Today I reiterated that request.
So have the notes arrived?
Well, what do you think?

Perhaps they are in the cupboard and they do not have the key - a memorable phrase from one of our weirdest appointments yet. The state of medical records keeping in our trust seems to be particularly chaotic but I don't suppose yours is any better. They probably haven't found them all yet and pulled them together. It won't stop them getting foundation trust status or being judged as "excellent" according to meaningless government targets - it will just upset you and countless others(including, I am sure, some of the staff). Sorry it has happened yet again to you.
Mercifully they're digging themselves such a huge and a glorious hole
that
by the time it's all investigated they will be neck deep in trouble.
doesn't really help YOU though does it?
massive hugs and many prayers
Marcella, I agree about clinical notes - and I also know they have, as yet, taken no steps towards looking at them. But these notes are the minutes from the meeting I had - the one I thought was positive and foolishly believed would lead to action.
mmp, I'm just hoping they don't manage to fill in the hole and declare it is all my fault again.
Caroline....my heart goes out to you over this whole mess. It really does. It seems like an unending saga.
How are you? Despite all of this crazy making bureaucracy and ineptness on the part of this service who is SUPPOSED to offer support and healing, are you feeling stronger at work and at home? As much as these goofballs need to be taken to task, I'm wondering where you are in weighing whether you need to look after yourself, find your path to personal healing in another direction and cut the ties to these people? I don't expect an answer, and it's very presumptuous of me to even pose the question. But as you know, I have also found myself on an emotional roller coaster with no end in sight. When the stress began to manifest itself physically (aches and high blood pressure) I took some time off this summer thinking I could find my energy again. I found my energy, hoping I could remain in my job, only to return to a multitude of negative side-swiping and nasty passive aggression on the part of my so called supervisor.
Guess what? My BP went up higher, and it freaked me right out! By the time I got in to see my doctor, I had convincec myself that my head was going to pop off, or I was on the verge of a heart attack........however, once I started spilling my anxieties and tears all over her office, as she continued to take my BP....it continued to go down. She is convinced that it's all situational. I am too. She also reinforced my own thinking that I need to cut my losses, stop fighting the work regime and find another job. This is not an easy thing to do....emotionally I don't want to walk away from the counselling I do with the clientele I work with...PLUS this is a one horse town I work in....gov't and university are the key employers. So, it will take time to find a new role. I know I need to, and am actively looking, knowing I will return to counselling after I can settle into a completely different job....I will put out my own shingle eventually.
Having stated ALL of that.....
No one will feel ANY differently about you if you make the decision to move on in order to heal yourself, in order to find the inner calm you so DESERVE and long for.
Our inner turmoils and doubts are all a part of figuring out who we are, what we believe in, what it is that's important.......it is part of our path to capturing our own sense of faith. Stormy, yes..... sometimes it feels as though the waves are going to be endless......
they aren't......lifelines are everywhere.......support and concern is everywhere (here too!!)..... so are hugs and cups of tea and God's hymns.
Take care of you, Caroline.
