"Sick bowls left for hours"

About: Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham / Accident and emergency

(as a service user),

Waited at the A&E  dept at Q. E. Hospital Birmingham..

Been in 3 different waiting areas and seen sick bowls with. Vomit in left and just sitting there for hours.. 

Dirty tissue and Continence sheets on floor. 

It was filthy.. 

Also some some red substance on floor in my way... Which may have been blood as was by trolley used to take bloods. 

This is such an offputting experience.. 

Seems infection Control is majorly being missed here..
