Earlier this year, in the space of 24 hours in this hospital my mother, a frail and elderly woman with a treatable urine infection who was still happily living independently in her own home, was transformed as a result of what we think was an entirely preventable fall in hospital (AAU), into a bed-ridden woman unable to do anything for herself. She was robbed of her independence, dignity, and any hope of a decent end to her life.
My mother was also in A&E, Wards A21 and B21 during this time.
