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.

A day in Kirstie’s life

Most mornings I wake up around 7am, then I go downstairs and clean up the living and the kitchen from the day before.

By this time it’s about 8am and time to make my mum’s breakfast.

After I have taken that up to her I do the washing up.

There are always things that need to be done in between making the breakfast and preparing lunch.
