"Acute medical centre"

About: Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham

I am appalled with the AMU part of this hospital the lack of communication between staff and patients is the worst I have ever known. Having being admitted from A n E to which was fantastic care to the let down of this area is beyond me. Really don't blame the staff but blame the processes in place to deal with this part of the service. I had to go through everything again what about my notes that had been scanned. There are patients who are waiting for beds and waiting for bloods FOR 8 hours such a lack of communication. Would not recommend anyone to attend the AMU. A big plea to powers that be sort out this absoutley shocking service.
