"My mother"

My mother was admitted after a fall to Nottingham’s QMC. Great service to start with and then she was admitted to the Lynn Jarret ward. The care there was adequate although not brilliant and at 1 o clock in the morning on the second night of her stay, 3 nurses woke her up and said we need to move you to another ward. Fair enough there is a bed shortage but this can be a very frightening experience for a lady in her eighties. However they moved her to a new ward and things settled down.

2 days later whilst she was eating her breakfast the nurse came over and said you can go home now the ambulance is waiting, sat her in a wheelchair and sent her off. Still in her night clothes, the same night clothes she had been wearing in arrival 5 days earlier, her clean supply still in the bag at the side of her. I read so much about #endpjparalysis. Perhaps they should practice what they preach and not send pensioners home unwashed and in their nighties.
