I was admitted to this unit recently suffering from chest pains.
The medical care was excellent and I was kept in overnight. My comments are regarding the noise during the night I was there.
It seemed to me that the staff made most of the noise by speaking to each other in loud voices and at one point there was loud laughter. Also they made no attempt to lessen the noise of equipment being moved etc. I know that it is difficult to control disturbances during the night in this busy unit but surely the staff could try to keep their voices quieter so that the patients can get at least some sleep.
