"Extreamly dirty"

About: Conquest Hospital

Un fortunately my daughter was transfered from Eastbourne DGH to Conquest Edgeton ward on Wednesday 17th June (2015) for surgery on her ulcerated shin. The ward was dirty! The curtains around her bed were dusty and when opened a cloud of dust decended. There were dust clumps rolling over the floors and under beds. Worst of all was the patients toilet! the toilet seat was covered in dried excrement! I dred to think what the underside of the toilet seat was like. My daughter , and other patients in her ward, all have open wounds. It is so bad and unclean that my daughter fears for her safety and she has requested to be returned home a.s.a.p! This is so unaceptable for a hospital. The nursing staff and doctors were, however, wonderful! Sincerely disgusted and upset
