Warneford Hospital — Psychiatric hospital in Oxford, England

Worst hospital staff I've ever spoke to very rude african man on the phone has 0 manners does not know how to have social interactions just barks orders at you proper entitled I cant imagine they work in mental health hospital

A culture of victim-blaming pervades this place. Many obviously unqualified and frankly extremely mentally unwell people in important patient-facing positions. Notes/records are rarely accurate, if they are even written at all. They will go through the motions of GDPR, but not take it seriously at all when it comes to patient confidentiality. Wilfully ignorant of patient concerns, they need to be dragged/forced into competency, which they are capable of with enough... persuasion. If they attempt to gaslight you, do not take it. If you are seen by a doctor such as a psychiatrist, make sure to search for them on Google - you are not alone in being mentally tortured by the entire system! It is amazing at how objectively evil and/or incompetent people can end up with a good-guy badge which they can then hide behind. Don’t take their ****. Edit: They tried to get this review taken down almost a year later! I contested it and it was back up within a day. Treat patients with respect and you get respect back. It’s one rule for them and another for patients, who they institutionally look down upon.

I probably think little more hospital is better for because they looked after me better at the wanford they did not look after me properly

One of the most discohesive places to make the endeavour of wellbeing enhancement. Highly recommend Littlemore over Warneford if NHS and Oxford is necessary. Otherwise consider health insurance prior to ever being in need of health rejuvenation I'm order to get private treatment, ideally, as NHS wards generally are significantly slower and more unpleasant experiences

A very pleasant experience, I quickly picked up my prescription for medication at the reception, was able to charge my phone in the cafeteria, they even told me where the toilet was and saw me off with a smile. Thank you for working so humanely. Thanks to you, my day is good!

I was at Allen Ward in 2022. Since then I have been under section once. There was a stark difference between the staff at both settings. Warneford is incredible. If I ever needed to be in hospital again, this is the place I would want to be! The staff are incredible, it's super clean, the activities are amazing. They genuinely care. Thank you!

Warneford Hospital in Oxford provides crucial mental health services in a peaceful and therapeutic environment. The hospital's commitment to patient care and its multidisciplinary approach to mental health treatment are commendable. The serene surroundings and green spaces contribute positively to the healing process. However, some may find the facilities dated or limited in certain areas due to the demand for mental health services. Overall, it serves as an essential institution catering to the mental health needs of the community, though there might be room for improvements in infrastructure and resources.

The clinicians ie nurses lack qualifications and are unprofessional, after reading through my risk assessment the woman I spoke to had written completely different things compared to the stuff I actually said, everything was also misspelled...even the most simple words. And to make the entire thing worse she kept staring at me and clutching her huge cross she had round her neck, felt like she was backwards and not in a fit mental state herself. She behaved in a strange manner and she was blatantly very devout but sadly it was not partnered with any intelligence whatsoever. Not sure who they are hiring as clinicians but every time I've had assessments at this place I have found the clinicians to be unprofessional and lacking in qualifications often hardly speaking any English and harbouring quite damaging ideas, many of them implied one being white meant one could not experience pain, suffering or mental health issues. Unbelievable.

I has put a 3* review, after thinking about the service I've received I couldn't hold the drs account for the attitude & belittlement frm a separate part of the hospital! & unfortunately the drs having to abide by the covid rules hasn't helped, although priority is given for most at risk, but many (unless private) will no doubt have to rely on their local hospitals!

My experiences as a patient of this hospital over the past 18 years has been utterly awful. Most of the clinicians are rude, aggressive and unhelpful and do their utmost to obstruct access to treatment rather than to help. The most recent development has been to find every excuse in the book to not even accept me as a patient, making up fictitious diagnoses so they can say "not our problem" and generally being condescending and nasty. A real classic was them acknowledging that group therapy would be inappropriate for me so they were making it a mandatory requirement before they would even consider offering help; though having read some of the reviews of the help offered, I suspect I've dodged a bullet there: I've certainly seen a number of clinicians who've worsened my problems rather than helped. The latest "notice of refusal to help" was thanks to some social worker I've never heard of and certainly never met but who felt she was qualified to pontificate about my diagnosis. I'm left thinking that 1) social workers aren't doctors so she's way out of her depth here; and 2) isn't a social worker's primary function to actually speak to the person they're making decisions about? Maybe times have moved on and these are now acceptable. Also lol at the people who think I don't get to see the stuff they write just because they don't cc me. So yeah, if you expect any sort of therapy, treatment, respect, anything your GP doesn't already do, you're going to be disappointed. And if you think you are going to get a care plan, inpatient care when you need it, any sort of care coordinator... don't look here. You will be disappointed. How they have managed to get away with it for so many years remains a mystery.
