"Good experience"

I was sent down to a and e by my gpand after waiting in a Very busy department, I was seen, had bloods taken and admitted. Everything was explained to me and I knew I was in safe hands.

I spent the 1st night on a6 before being transferred to f7:This ward was always busy but the start we courteous and always found time to speak to us. The food was good and the medication during the day I had on time, my only concern was the time I was getting my last medication before bed. Sometimes it was nearly midnight before I got my meds and then was woken up at 6am to take my medicine observations and blood.

The last night before I came home I was transferred to f9which I did not mind as I knew I was going to be discharged home. The ward was okay, my only grumble about that ward was what the food was served on. All week I had meals brought on proper plates, but not f9 it was served on disposable plates and the portion sizes were not enough even to feed a child. Breakfast there was no orange juice, you could not get porridge and the toast was nearly burnt and cold by the time I was given it and all before 7:30am. Lunch all the puddings they served was yoghurts. If they are going to have patients come from other wards, where they have received proper meals, isn’t it right that f9 should also dish up to the same standards of other wards. That is my only grumble or otherwise it was a good all round experience where I was felt fo feel at ease.
