Earlier this week I was admitted to Berman 1 Ward with a suspected TIA. The whole team, particularly the nurses, medical team, Pharmacist and the Therapy team were all so kind, caring and understanding. I was seen by everyone in such an organised and proactive way. It was fantastic to see how a great team works. A special mention to the night sister looking after me over night was so lovely.
The only negative thing I have to say was about the lack of Gluten Free food available in the evening. I was admitted after tea time and had not eaten since lunch. The only food options were sandwiches and soup both of which I cannot eat. There was no option to get any food from anywhere else so I ended up having nothing. Having some Gluten Free options on the ward is essential for Coeliac patients. Some fruit or GF cereals, crackers or even biscuits could be a good option.
Other than that, I had a fantastic experience on the ward. Thank you all so much.
"Fantastic care"
