Awful communication

"Awful communication"

About: John Radcliffe Hospital

The appalling lack of communication regarding my grandfather's care in Bedford ward recently is inexcusable. An 89 year old man who was shoved into a hospice without notice to his family. None of the proper meetings or procedures were followed and consultation with the family members didn't happen. He was bed bound for 2 Weeks and has pressure sores, noone even thought to clean his dentures. This hospital appears disinterested in the care of elderly and dying people. I am shocked at the lack of dignity in how he was treated. The family will be making a formal complaint.
