Usually staff in different hospitals within the same trust CAN access notes of patients at other units, but I would be surprised if anyone apart from bed manager and maybe your RC (responsible clinician/consultant) were aware you’d been admitted to a different hospital. If nurses etc look on ‘the bed board’ on the trust system they will be able to see you’re a patient in a different hospital but generally you don’t have any reason to unless the bed manager or RC has said that patient will be moving across. If your RC is the community psychiatrist there is no reason the psych at your local hospital will necessarily even know you’re an inpatient unless bed manager informs them (or at least that’s how it works in the trust I work for). The current IP psych will be able to see the plan your previous IP psych made though (even if not RC) but it will be up to them and community team to decide on what’s best at present.
I know you desperately don’t want supported accommodation or ECT etc and obviously none of us can advice on what’s best, but have you thought about asking an advocate or your Mum (or both) to support you with arguing your case?
Re CBT-P....I know you aren’t convinced it’s illness causing what you’re experiencing but even if it isn’t...perhaps some space to talk through what’s happening might be helpful? Just an idea anyway. I’m not totally sure which trusts offer it although I believe it’s the majority now.
