Patient was moved from ward to ward

"Patient was moved from ward to ward"

About: Royal Bolton Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics

(as the patient),

I went to the Bolton Royal Hospital to ward G3 and G4 for fractures to the ulna and radius. The operation and the information given to me by the consultant was good and the medical and nursing care was very good.

What I felt could have been better was the fact that I was moved from one bed to another and this I felt was poor. Information and instructions given on discharge were also incorrect.

I felt angry at being moved from one ward to another, especially when I was settled and happy on ward G3.
