I couldn't sleep as there were dementia patients talking all night. Is it not possible to put these poor ladies in another ward?

Dear Jeanellen
I am sorry that you were unable to sleep during the night. I am not sure if you raised your concerns with the nursing team who have access to adjuncts such as ear plugs and eye masks.
It is challenging when patients may be delirous due to an acute illness and I do understand how difficult it must have been to sleep in this environment, I can only apologise.
kind regards
Nicola Shopland
Divisional Chief Nurse Medicine

Yes,I did raise it with the nursing staff,they gave me earplugs,but I could
still hear patients shouting,so I would dread going to that ward again.
