Visiting The Harbour

I recently had the opportunity to meet with staff and patients at The Harbour in Blackpool. The Harbour is a local mental health hospital that provides specialised care and treatment for adults experiencing severe mental health conditions that cannot be managed safely at home.

Meeting with director of nursing Laura Holt, chief medical officer Dr Gareth Thomas, and chief executive Chris Oliver, we discussed the current pressures the Harbour are facing and the recent successes of the team and facility. I also had the privilege of speaking directly with patients to hear about their experiences.

It was inspiring to see the dedication of the healthcare professionals who work tirelessly to support those in need and to listen to the positive impact The Harbour has had on the lives of its patients. I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the staff at The Harbour for their incredible work and commitment to providing exceptional care and making a difference in the lives of people who need it most.
