"I have always defended and supported NHS..."

About: Queen Elizabeth Hospital (Birmingham)

What I liked

the doctors were efficient and approachable and caring.

What could be improved

nursing expertise and caring. equipment used for saline & insullin iv.

Anything else?

My daughter had to discharge herself today as her health was worsening. She was being ignored by nurses and not given the medication the doctors had ordered.
