My father was admitted to althorp following a hip replacement. When we went to visit, we found him writhing and screaming in pain. The nurses had just put a curtain around him and were standing gossiping and laughing. My sister had to insist on getting a doctor called to prescribe some extra pain relief. Both doctor and staff lacked any kind of empathy and did not display any kind of patient centred care.
