Waiting for commissioners report...

So, my clinic psychologist has now applied for funding for me to go to one of 3 places for a short stabilisation stay- for 6-8 weeks, then back to my current outpatient team. So we are looking at Care UK's Ashleigh house in Gloucester, Naomi ward at the York retreat or the ED ward at south west London and maudsley hospital( because we have to list an NHS service provider. V unlikely that they will have space as their ward is full and primarily for anorexia also- but they do take BN patients, unlike my local ward). My preference is for either of the first- and especially Naomi ward because they specialise In PTSD treatment alongside the ED management/treatment which is what I need. My admission to my local ward 2 years previously was difficult because they didn't understand howy PTSD was triggered, and how to help with the flashbacks- and maudsley are very similar in the way they work- they share the docs etc. and there is a higher proportion of BN sufferers in these 3 places which I frankly, think would be better for me. Having said that- I'm happy with anything I'm offered right now.

Has anyone been to any of these places?
