The biggest hospital improvement in England.

:00:12.:00:16.

The Bristol Royal Infirmary and its sister hospitals go

:00:17.:00:18.

from "needing improvement" to "outstanding".

:00:19.:00:22.

Stress, depression and mental illness -

:00:23.:00:24.

one in four students say they're affected.

:00:25.:00:35.

and Friday will get underway with a wet start. I will have the full

:00:36.:00:38.

details later in the programme. Bristol's main teaching hospital has

:00:39.:00:50.

become the first trust in England to leap from "requires improvement"

:00:51.:00:54.

to being rated as "outstanding" In two years, the trust -

:00:55.:00:56.

which includes the Bristol Royal Infirmary and seven other hospitals

:00:57.:01:00.

- has addressed concerns that the Emergency Department

:01:01.:01:02.

was too crowded and that not enough Our health correspondent

Points West, Bristol. It's not such a positive story

:03:21.:03:30.

for other hospitals. One other has been

given a "good" rating - that's Taunton and Somerset NHS

Charlotte Callen reports. You just feel completely worthless

:03:55.:04:00.

and hopeless and I can understand if you haven't been there it can be

:04:01.:04:04.

quite hard to empathise. Grace has no scars to show the pain

:04:05.:04:11.

she's been through... There was no sticking plaster,

:04:12.:04:13.

no operation to make her better. She's had mental heath problems

:04:14.:04:16.

since the age of 13. I had anorexia, so I got quite

:04:17.:04:23.

physically unhealthy. In terms of my low mood,

:04:24.:04:33.

I had periods when I was suicidal, I was really, really low

:04:34.:04:38.

and lonely and hopeless. Grace got a degree and now works

:04:39.:04:47.

with a Bristol charity which helped her to cope

during the bad times, One in four students

at Bristol University said they had With 22,000 students,

:04:52.:04:55.

that means as many as 5,500 will have mental heath needs at some

:04:56.:05:03.

point during their studies. That's a picture

:05:04.:05:07.

reflected nationally. Our young people are under enormous

:05:08.:05:11.

pressure to succeed. Some of that is academic pressure,

:05:12.:05:14.

and then, of course, there is the pressures on social

:05:15.:05:16.

media to look and Add to that the extra tuition fees

:05:17.:05:19.

they have to pay and the fact that grants are being slashed,

:05:20.:05:24.

and you have the perfect storm. It is important that we reach

:05:25.:05:28.

all students with support, and that means making sure that

:05:29.:05:31.

whether it is through the personal tutoring system or through

:05:32.:05:34.

residential pastoral staff that students, all students, understand

:05:35.:05:36.

where they can access support. Bristol is one of only two

year, there have been So they're investing an extra

:05:52.:05:58.

and so much pressure on mental health services,

it's charities like the one which helped Grace that are often

Points West in Bristol. Well, earlier I spoke to

:06:06.:06:13.

Maggie Cameron from the Samaritans and asked her if things have always

:06:14.:06:15.

been this bad for students. I think it's probably always been

:06:16.:06:22.

like this but what we really want to do is to start encouraging

:06:23.:06:24.

people to access help and support about their feelings

:06:25.:06:28.

at a much earlier age. But what are we doing

:06:29.:06:31.

as a society to have children going to Bristol University,

:06:32.:06:34.

young people, very clever, often from comfortable

:06:35.:06:36.

backgrounds and yet, so many are suffering from stress

:06:37.:06:37.

and depression and all sorts I think we do put a lot of pressure

:06:38.:06:40.

on young people these days and it is important that,

:06:41.:06:50.

you know, they are Universities have a lot of support

:06:51.:06:52.

for students and it is really But I hear there has been four

:06:53.:06:56.

deaths in this academic year. When you call the Samaritans,

:06:57.:07:02.

we tend to think of it as being the last resort,

:07:03.:07:12.

but where can you get help? I would not like to think

:07:13.:07:15.

of us as the last resort! A lot of people that call us

:07:16.:07:18.

are calling about all sorts of problems, not necessarily

:07:19.:07:21.

with suicidal thoughts. So, it is good to talk over these

:07:22.:07:24.

feelings before you actually get to that point when you are starting

:07:25.:07:27.

to think that is your only option. OK, but also, when you are

:07:28.:07:34.

younger, before it becomes anything like a crisis -

:07:35.:07:36.

I know you want to get We do a lot of work with schools

:07:37.:07:39.

locally, which is really important. And it is encouraging people to talk

:07:40.:07:44.

to anybody that they trust. You know, we all know that parents -

:07:45.:07:47.

would they ever understand? But there are other family members,

:07:48.:07:52.

teachers, maybe a relative that you can trust and that you feel

:07:53.:07:54.

comfortable talking with, and it is really important to find

:07:55.:07:57.

that person and have them Maggie, thank you for coming

on the nearby Metrobus route The deer, who were hiding

:08:25.:08:26.

in the bushes from our cameras today, have been there

:08:27.:08:30.

for almost two months. Allotment keepers are worried

:08:31.:08:32.

they won't leave because of the Metrobus building work

:08:33.:08:34.

going on around them. Too scared to go out the main gates

:08:35.:08:37.

because all they can see is machinery and smell the oil

:08:38.:08:40.

and they are frightened. I want them to be happy and I do not

:08:41.:08:45.

think they are happy stuck in here. No one is going to be happy having

:08:46.:08:49.

all of their plants eaten. They have eaten a few of mine

for example, will get more dry weather. Towards the West you will
