My life partner was in the Royal Gwent between early Oct and late November 2016 He received appalling care. A serious cancer diagnosis was missed. He had no chair to sit in for 2 weeks so was effectively bed ridden ....but had no choice. There were nurses standing around chatting when he was needing help. Buzzers were placed on ledges so he could not reach and he was left without oxygen. In my experience the staff were bullying. He survived thankfully only to have another admission in Sept 2017 ..and died within 9 days of what we think was extreme neglect or something worse....it is still being investigated and we have notified the necessary authorities. He was dressed in nappies for 5 days and I have no idea why. It needs an enquiry and we are pushing for this to happen.
