Edited by Jane Hill editor@wellbeingnorfolk.co.uk
A building project to create more efficient and patient–focused mental health services in West Norfolk has been completed. The Fermoy Unit, based at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn, Chatterton, and Thurlow House, both on the Chatterton site, Goodwin’s Road, are part of Norfolk and Waveney Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
One of the improvements includes a new telephone system dedicated to the mental health service. The new telephone number is: 01553 609933. The changes are part of a project called ‘Building Success in the West’, which is designed to improve the delivery of NHS care.Family carer scooped £1million prize

I appear to be the same as everyone else – there’s nothing to hint that I have a disability which has changed both mine and my family’s life to the extreme.
