Care in a hospital
“Her stay in the hospital was unsatisfactory. Very poor communication between the sta. Overall very stressful to experience what mum went through while she was there, not given enough pain relief or care or compassion.”
“She was kept as comfortable as possible in the circumstances while in hospital, and prior to her ȴnal stay in hospital the medical team were open with her and answered all of her questions.”
“I could visit at any time. Encouraged to stay overnight. He was given pain relief when needed and his position changed frequently.”
“The lack of information while in the hospital setting was extremely poor and upsetting, there was no-one to talk to until my dad was being discharged.”
“Nurses and care sta were excellent. They always kept us up to date on how Uncle was doing. He was made very comfortable, warm and safe. He was so well looked after by all the team.”
“I will always wonder if she was in a ward instead of A&E, would she have had a more peaceful death. Instead she was very distressed and in a lot of discomfort.”
