I was an in patient at the stroke rehabilitation ward in the langlands building. I've been recently discharged and I would like to voice my concern about nurses giving patients bed baths as early as 05. 30. There was an elderly lady in the next bed to me who routinely had a bed bath very early in the morning and In my view, as far as I could make out, this was to help out the dayshift staff.
I really was concerned about this as I felt that a) this was far too early and was under the impression that this practice is actually not meant to take place.
And b) surely In my opinion nightshift staff shouldn't feel under pressure to "help the dayshift"
