I can provide some general insights that may be helpful.
Whether you will still be considered for a job at a psychiatric ward, despite being a former patient at the specific hospital, can depend on various factors, including the policies and practices of the hospital and the applicable laws and regulations in your region.
In many places, employers are prohibited from discriminating against candidates based on their medical history, including past mental health treatment. This is to protect individuals with disabilities, including mental health conditions, from discrimination in the workplace. However, there might be specific circumstances or job roles where prior patient history could be a relevant consideration, such as if the position involves providing direct patient care.
If you are using a different name and your medical records are protected by patient confidentiality laws, it is unlikely that the hospital would automatically know that you were a former patient. However, if you were to disclose this information during the application or interview process, they may become aware of it.
It's important to consider the ethical implications of not disclosing your prior patient status if it might be relevant to the job you are applying for. Being transparent and honest during the application and interview process is generally a good practice. If you have concerns about how your previous patient status may impact your chances, you could seek legal advice or consult with a professional in human resources.
Ultimately, whether you are considered for the job will depend on your qualifications, experience, and the hospital's policies and practices. If you're uncertain about how to handle your situation, it might be beneficial to seek guidance from a career counselor or advocate familiar with mental health and employment matters.
