"Experience on ward 12"

About: University Hospital Hairmyres / Respiratory Medicine (Ward 12)

(as the patient),

I was recently admitted to Ward 12. I have to say all the staff were excellent, apart from one or two who made my stay very uncomfortable.

A nurse was very rude to myself & partner on a number of occasions and even to myself in front of other patients in my room.

There was another member of staff who seemed to have an issue with me, and an assistant who ignored me and with others on the ward … have no words...

Discharged still in pain, awaiting neurologist appointment.

Dear TeddybearGer

Thank you for sharing your recent experience whilst in ward 12. I am sorry to read that some staff were rude and ignored you. This is not the standard of professional care that I would expect and offer my sincere apologies.

I would like to look into this further and wonder if you could make contact with my colleague

Elaine.Morning@lanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk

I hope to hear from you

Regards

Lise
