Carers and CPFT adult mental health wards
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Foundation Trust recognise that having a loved one on an inpatient ward is a particuarly difficult time for family members, friends and carers. The adult acute mental health wards are developing carer information which is specific to each of the mental health wards at the Cavell (Peterborough) and Fulbourn (Cambridge). We are aiming that all of the wards will have designated information.
