Staff Governor 

Lowdown... 

We continue introducing 

our staff governors over 

the next few issues so you 

can get to know them. If 

you have any ideas for 

what you’d like to see 

from them, let us know! 

JOB TITLE... 

Acting Consultant Psychiatrist 

QUALIFICATIONS... 

BSc Psychology, MBBS, MRC 

Psych (UK), Family Planning 

Certificate, Certificate in 

General Aviation Medicine, 

STAFF GROUP... 

Medical 

Dr Bisdee has extensive experience 

in medicine in England and Australia 

as well as training in Belgium. 

As senior partner of a general 

practice in Australia and local 

hospital chairman, he experienced 

both the pressures of fitting 

medical demand to a budget and 

learning what compromises have 

to be made to fit the two together. 

He came to the Trust in 1999 as 

senior clinical medical officer, then 

associate specialist and is currently 

acting consultant psychiatrist. 

His reason for being a staff 

governor: 'If you don't vote 

you can't complain about the 

government you get. 

This issue... ANDRIES BISDEE 

Similarly if you don't participate in 

the unique opportunity to shape 

the way the Trust will develop in 

the future, then you will get what 

other's want, not what you think is 

best. Doctors tend to be idealists 

as well as realists and frequently 

grumble about what they are given 

by 'the management'.This is a good 

way to shape ‘the management' so 

we can direct to an extent where 

we are going in the future’.

What's going on 

around the Trust? 

A true Haven 

On Sunday 5th July , Haven Lodge 

who have 19 contracted beds for 

Mental Health (Older Adult) 

invited John Gardner, Operational 

Services Manager/Matron and 

Donna Cullingford, Community 

Mental Health Nurse inTendring 

to the grand opening of their 

pagoda which they had been 

raising money for. 

The pagoda was opened by the Deputy 

Mayor and Lady Deputy of the Cinque 

Port Liberty of Brightlingsea, Mr Mike 

Penrose and Mrs Patricia Gardner. 

It’s that time of year again - 

November may seem a little 

far off now but it’ll be here 

before you know it; now is the 

time to start thinking about 

how you’re going to win the 

Positive Practice Awards! 

This year’s Awards will follow the same 

category structure as last year, with two 

awards - one for clinical service 

developments and one for non-clinical. 

By‘service development’ we mean 

anything you have done to improve our 

service users’ experience of theTrust, 

hence the two categories: you don’t 

need to be a clinician for your work to 

be of benefit to our patients. 

It turned out to be a very nice day 

and everybody enjoyed themselves. 

The pagoda will most definitely 

benefit the 19 patients that are in the 

contracted beds that John oversees. 

Well done to those who organised the 

fundraising and the day for Haven Lodge. 

Also congratulations to all the staff for 

their hard work and specifically to the 

chef who provided a beautiful banquet. 

Haven Lodge is run by Care UK and 

we have had our contract beds there for 

the past eleven years. 

05 

Examples of projects that have done 

well in previous years are available 

on iconnect. 

The only difference this year is the slight 

change in the weighting,with less emphasis 

on resources and more on innovation and 

how your work has helped to improve 

patient safety, clinical effectiveness and 

patient experience. 

You are advised to discuss your 

application with a member of the CPG 

team - details of who you should contact is 

on the front page of the application forms, 

which can be found on iconnect.

Awards is 18 September and if your 

entry is shortlisted you will need to 

be available to present to the judges 

on 9 November, and attend the event 

at Boreham House in Chelmsford 

on 17 November.

MP commends Trust’s efforts 

Changes, the community drug 

and alcohol team for mid Essex, 

hosted a visit by local MP Simon 

Burns, to help spread local 

awareness of the growing need 

for resources to help people 

who misuse alcohol or drugs. 

The team offers help to people with 

physical dependencies who are ready 

to commit to make a crucial change in 

their lives and their families. 

Shadow Secretary of State visits 

The Shadow Secretary of State 

for HealthAndrew Lansley CBE 

MP has visited one of our teams. 

The Mid Essex Early Intervention in 

PsychosisTeam is based in central 

Chelmsford and works out in the 

community with people who are 

experiencing, or are at risk of 

experiencing, a first episode of 

psychosis. It aims to identify and treat 

symptoms early to promote recovery. 

Mr Lansley said:“Today has been a great 

opportunity to meet staff providing 

mental health services which is a vital 

part of NHS care.The team’s focus on 

14 to 35 year olds is, I believe, an 

essential part of mental health services. 

I met an impressive team of highly 

qualified people, all of whom are 

committed to helping not only 

individuals, but also their friends, families 

and carers too. It has been a great 

pleasure to meet them”. 

Clinical manager Rachel Lofthouse said 

"We believe that mental health problems 

are just like physical problems.‘Psychosis‘ 

is used to describe a number of 

symptoms which are often grouped 

together, just like ‘flu‘ is used when 

someone has aching muscles, a 

headache, and a sore throat. 

Mr Burns joins other local leaders in a 

growing interest in how to fight rising 

levels of alcoholism which is thought 

to affect one in five in Essex. 

Liam Flanagan, manager of Changes, 

said:‘Our highly experienced team 

offers practical support and expert 

care.We respect confidentiality and 

treat everyone without prejudice.’ 

Psychosis can be very frightening but it 

can be successfully treated. The sooner 

intervention takes place, the better, 

which is why our team is here”

Leading the way in 

Vocational Services 

We are part of a successful bid to provide a 

groundbreaking new service. 

Just three areas nationwide have been selected to 

become a Centre of Excellence for Individual Placement 

Support (IPS). IPS is a way of doing things differently. 

In an IPS scheme, people get jobs and are trained and 

supported while they are working, rather than having 

training and support to enable them to work. 

With our new Vocational Services Manager, Raza 

Ahmed who started on 6 July, we will be able to 

maximize the bene�ts of this closer working relationship 

with the Sainsbury Centre. Further to this good news, we 

are reliably informed that the North Essex Employment 

Strategy has also been shortlisted for 

09 

the Essex County Council “You Make 

a Difference in Essex” quality 

awards to be held in September. 

Meet our new Vocational 

Services Manager 

Raza Ahmed is our new Vocational Services Manager. 

Raza has worked in various mental health settings since 

1994 including CMHTs, Assertive Outreach, Primary Care 

with his last post being in the third sector. 

He said: ‘I am pleased to have returned to the NHS after 

a break of three years and am looking forward to 

meeting new colleagues, taking forward the vocational 

services agenda and �nding my way around Essex!’

The joint project 

The Trust’s Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team and Community Day 

Team began a joint project set up by Chris McArdle, service user development 

worker based in Witham, in April. 

A group of clients and staff meet once a week at an allotment in Chelmsford and spend the afternoon 

working, chatting, building relationships and being out in the fresh air. 

Sally Barnes, CPN at the Tillingham Day Hospital, said:‘There has been a lot of evidence about ecotherapy 

and how beneficial it is to people with mental health problems. Being outside in the fresh air, watching seeds 

that you have planted grow into edible produce, being with others in a natural environment.The work is very 

focussing and you forget your worries as you are so involved in what you are doing. 

‘The allotment is attended twice a week - once by CRHT and once by The Community Day Therapies Team. 

Clients with mental health problems who may benefit from this project can be referred by any clinician 

within the Trust. It is a wonderful way to promote social inclusion. 

‘This is the first allotment in central. It is a very inexpensive project to run. It is a community in itself, 

relaxing, peaceful.We encourage clients to develop their own ideas and bring their skills to the afternoon. 

There is the added health benefit of being active outdoors, it is a natural way to gain exercise.’ 

The group is currently growing King Edward potatoes, broad beans, tomatoes, radishes, peas, sprouts, 

broccoli, courgettes, spring onions, yellow courgettes, corn and carrots. Most of the seeds and equipment 

were kindly donated by staff and neighbouring allotment workers.Their first success (apart from getting 

rid of all the weeds) was a batch of broad beans. 

One of the clients, Dean, enjoys these Friday afternoons as it rounds off the week nicely.Taking a well earned 

rest in the hot weather, he said:‘I do a lot of volunteering in town during the week and it’s nice to be out in 

the fresh air, chat and mix with people. I’ve been coming along for approximately three months.’ 

Barbara Langridge, occupational therapist student, was finishing her placement with the Trust as the group 

started and has remained with the group working her schedule around the afternoon session. 

The allotment is an ongoing project, weather permitting. It is a joint effort with everybody 

helping out and working together as a team bringing their skills with them. For example, 

George put up some shelves in the shed the day I was there. 

Speaking of George, he has been with the group about two 

months and enjoys the afternoon, relaxing and being around nice 

people. He actually does gardening as a job so has many helpful 

hints and tips. George said:‘It is a really nice way to finish the 

week, it is a chance to unwind and lead into your weekend.’ 

David, who arrived later in the afternoon, added: ‘The rehabilitation 

programme is very satisfying and rewarding as we all have 

a common cause in developing our skills in communication 

with others. I would recommend this therapy to anyone who 

enjoys being outside and working with nature.' 

Additional groups will be starting on 

Thursday mornings beginning 6 August.
