A&E at St James Leeds

Posted By sc2012

"A&E at St James Leeds"

About: St James's University Hospital / Accident and emergency

(as a relative),

I was in A&E for 5 hours yesterday with my 90 yr old Nan who has Dementia. She had fallen & had a large gash on her head that needed some attention. Obviously we just wanted to check out the cut & bruises were the only injuries.

We waited for approx an hour between each 'intervention'. She got very tired & fed up & wanted to leave several times

The staff who dealt with us were charming & personable but it just dragged on. We had little sense of the plan or when we might be finished until a Senior Sister came to finally tend to the wound & did a fantastic job of cleaning & stitching it
