Inpatient on Tilgate ward - staff were excellent, caring and compassionate nurses, can't fault the care received from cleaner to consultant
However
While I understand it is very hot outside, the temperatures on the ward were shocking. Patients lying topless in bed sweating and struggling to breathe as it was so muggy and stuffy (especially bad on respiratory). Staff were excellent providing cold drinks and opening windows, but I feel extremely sorry for them having to work at almost 30 degrees. I really think east Surrey need to stop with all the new building work and sort out air conditioning on the old wards, your poor staff and patients!
