The hospital declares that it is a non smoking zone yet over the past two weeks I have observed staff and patients smoking outside the Oncology Department and elsewhere.
Today I saw a lady lying in her bed smoking.......her bed had been wheeled outside of the unit into the open air alongside the ambulance bay.
The non-smoking policy at this hospital is a farce in that neither is it observed nor enforced. For that you have to place the blame at Management.
Further, the anti-infection policy falls down badly. There is no enforcement nor encouragement for visitors and patients to use the gel. It would appear, from my 20 visits over the past two weeks that I am the only person to use the gel. Am I alone? Again, the blame has to be placed on the management of this hospital. What a contrast to Stoke!
