I have been in part of the Ulster a&e since yesterday waiting on a bed, I understand the bed pressures at present however as someone with multiple wounds it’s disappointing to be told they can’t change dressings in a&e after being reassured by night staff last night it would be done. This has meant they’ve been bleeding through my clothing for the last 12 hours - I am being told I will have to wait to get to a ward.
Also since coming in 24 hours ago I have been offered one cup of tea and no food. I assume due to being in a side room I may have been missed.
