Having been a strong supporter of all the wound care team, I’m now my finding my goodwill is severely tested. I’m a carer for my mother at clinic and am now excluded from the treatment room. This doesn’t appear to be safe practice and is causing severe problems for both of us.
I have asked for written communications on this and
hoped steps would be taken to ensure wound care
Is Carer Aware at all times. This is dangerous given
the obvious failures to communicate which will cause problems with other medical professionals. I have tried
to raise the issue with those involved directly but
sadly don’t feel the seriousness of this situation is
appreciated, We are talking frailty, confusion, hearing,
sight and mobility issues that necessitate extra care
for the patient. Carers do this for free all the time
without question or objection so to be dismissed
without any written communications just feels very
cruel and uncaring. Sorry. I love the NHS and understand
the special difficulties at Babington. Please address
these concerns before risks escalate. Thank you
"Exclusion"
