ward 28

Story from nhs.uk

"ward 28"

About: Heartlands Hospital / Infectious diseases

Please note the positive aspects of this review is regarding ward 28 (now known as ward 28A/B) and not the hospital in general.

My mom has experienced truely awful care in certain areas of this hospital..to the point we had to convince her not to discharge herself despite being on oxygen and iv antibiotics.

However ward 28 is a fantastic ward.The doctors and nurses are beyond fantastic.Within an hour of transfer my mom has begun recieving top class care.She was in ward 28 last month also and they are a true example of how a ward should operate.

I am very shocked that the care can vary so widely within one hospital.

I urge you to take example of this fantastic ward....it seems unacceptable that not all the wards in heartlands provide such top class care as ward 28 does
