I have been very happy with my care in Craigavon Area Hospital. The staff have been very good, the doctors are brilliant, everyone is very approachable. The bed is more than comfortable, the sheets are very clean and I sleep well. My experience in Accident and Emergency was very good, I had no problems. The paramedics in the ambulance were excellent and so caring.
My top suggestion for improvement is the state of the toilets in the Gynaecology / 1 East ward. The men and women share toilets. Some of male patients leave a mess in the toilets, moreover they sometimes come out of the bathroom exposed, so there is a real lack of dignity for some patients. The toilets are beside the kitchen and food in the ward, which puts me off eating as they are so disgusting. The shower up at my end of the ward doesn't work so I have to use the other shower which is also disgusting.in my opinion.
It also appears the cleaning staff use the same mop to clean these disgusting toilets and showers to mop the rest of the ward. I feel the food is disgusting there is little to nothing catered for vegans, no salads or fresh fruits. The ward is roasting and we aren't allowed fans. It is also really heart rendering that families aren't allowed to visit patients just now.
