Dr Khurmi had clearly read up patient notes before the first meeting, which was very reassuring. He gave far more time to my son than I would have expected, and listened well, asking insightful and pertinent questions, working with my son to come to a joint understanding of the root cause of his mental health problems. He worked jointly with my son and myself, to come to a shared agreement regarding appropriate medication and therapy. The way Dr Khurmi treated me and my son was as equal partners in a plan going forwards. He also advised that, once discharged, we could contact the Home Treatment Team again should we need to. Unfortunately, it transpired that the service my son was referred to for therapy would not accept him onto their waiting list, but no reason was given. We are following up on guidance given re getting this therapy privately. We do this reluctantly, as we feel everyone should be able to access the treatment they need without having to pay; people who cannot scrape together the funds for private treatment should not have to suffer for longer because of this. However, this is an issue for government to sort out.
