47 hours in a&e followed by one hour in ward 47 then discharged.
In A&E for eight hours before being seen by a doctor, then a further four hours before being placed on a trolley. Twelve hours before bloods taken and a further three hour before blood thinning injection given. After 24 hours given bed and was seen by doctor, stayed a further night in a&e before being transferred to ward 47 and discharged within an hour. a&e waiting area was full when I arrived and within a few hours a notice was placed in the reception window, no beds available in this hospital. To sum up, the staff are over worked, the a&e department is too small, communication between staff and patients is very poor and not an experience I would recommend to those who are in need of first class care.
