I have had a couple of operations at the Alexandra and from admittance to theatre I have felt looked after,however after my last operation I felt very ill and my consultant agreed I should stay in an extra day, this was either not communicated to the nursing staff or ignored as the nurse looking after me proceeded to discharge me saying they needed the bed,another nurse did try and intervene but by that time I had been helped to dress by my husband and we left,I really struggled at home to cope as I was so poorly and I believe this affected my recovery, I do not know why this happened but good knowledge of the English language should be a requirement for all staff in contact with patients
"Good patient care spoilt by communication"
