"Lack of introductions"

I was visiting my daughter on an EAU. When I went to use the hand gel from the dispenser this was empty! Whilst vsiting her within a beded unit with 3 bed occupied 2 staff nurses and one HCA walked in to the room. They proceeded to the far bed and gave a detailed hand over regarding patient's name what team were looking after her and her diagnosis and plan of care. They continued to the next bed where one of the staff nurses pulled the curtains from around the patients bed and again gave name of patient, name of team looking after her, diagnosis and plan of care. Then they moved to my daughter and the same happened, although no curtains were around her bed space. I asked what procedures were to be followed and was given an answer.

My concerns are these.

No introductions were made from the staff to my daughter or myself, let alone to the other patients. At present within the health care profession there is a huge campaign 'Hello my name is..' Maybe the ward staff can familiarise themselves with this or indeed the Trust.

No privacy or dignity I felt was given to my daughter or other patients when handing over to next shift.

I was not asked who I was when I enquired about my daughter's care.

I am a Registered Nurse myself and I would not approach any of my patients the way these members of staff did on this occasion. I was shocked and disappointed with their lack basic manners.
