An exploration of the UK unpaid carer's world

                                                                    shrouded in darkness

2g Summary                                    hidden page   under construction from 22 9 2015         


The purpose of the  2g Meeting 1 page and this page is to ask and receive answers to a series of questions and comment before the meeting so that it can concentrate on how the author will be involved working positively with 2g . . . 

  1. in his wife's treatment
  2. in the production of 2g website text and hard-copy material etc that can be used by informal/unpaid carers within the Triangle of Care model and other relevant concepts and techniques.
Item 1 may well be the only topic to receive attention within an hour, but it can set the scene for 2.


                                                                     

Trust Joins Triangle of Care  here 

in its seventh year.  

Most of the healthcare people I talk to agree that HFDS is late for everything.





       "Take a look" does not function in this version.

Strategic Plan

Engagement to support delivery of a challenging agenda


Engagement - using website text


1   Ensuring we engage service users - who have long term conditions - in new services 


2  Organisational Development

2.2.1 

We will develop and support leaders at every level to make sure we have strong leadership and continuous engagement. 

One day, it is hoped, there will be text : -

2.2.2 

    We will develop and support leaders to improve our  organisational culture

2.2.3

    We will develop and support leaders to introduce and then develop use of the Triangle of Care

2.2.4

    We invite informal/unpaid carers to join a new project aimed at maximising use of the Triangle in two ways - its       techniques, and the number of such carers using it.



3  Partnership Working

3.1

We will provide a co-ordinated response to people in a crisis

3.3 

     One day, it is hoped, there will be text  :-

     further empowered people to make informed choices as carers to support their carees' wellbeing


4   My situation

4.1

The present text on the website is like Wishy-washy Herefordshire as at No. 4 on the 2g - Meeting 1 page, although written for wider readership. 

4.2

None of the 2g website-quoted text applies to my situation.  For example, what happened to these quotations? 

  1. continuous engagement - evidenced by what? More like continuous disengagement 
  2. engagement to support delivery of a challenging agenda - there is no challenge within normal interaction - engagement was left to the author without response for far too long
  3. strong leadership - when the only conclusion is that a nurse was allowed to get away with zero communication - once webpage pressure was exerted by me, the response was conducted through a third party
  4. We will provide a co-ordinated response to people in a crisis - and let them stew in their crisis
  5. ensuring we engage service users - who have long term conditions - in new services  - Triangle not in place
  6. empower people to make informed choices to support their wellbeing -  informed choices were presented time and time again which fell on deaf ears



The essential description of this unnecessary and unwarranted saga  is this: 

1
A former 2g OCD patient within the stressful role of unpaid/informal carer reaches out to 2g for help.  2g decides that it will not offer any help whatsoever, that no direct communication will be forthcoming, and, when pushed into a corner, only responds via a third party.

2
Only when in receipt of further webpage pressure did 2g step up minimally the level of response with an unsigned email full of suppositions and errors.  Further webpage pressure led to the meeting dealt with on the Meeting page.  It is an unnecessary and unwarranted saga from it beginning in early August 2015 to the above date. 

3
The author's evaluation of 2g is very low hence the need to specify closely, terms relating to how this long-requested meeting should be arranged prior to it taking place. The  2g - Meeting 1  page of this set of webpages was created while long-overdue emails were active, stated on 29 August: 

Please acknowledge the page here, and more importantly, state that I will have a significant involvement.  If the answer is no, cancel the meeting and I will attack the issue from a different angle. 


The underscored text is in bold red text.  No acknowledgement of the page was received.

The Triangle of Care is a key dimension of these webpages.  2g in Hereford cannot claim it has not heard of it.
