"Short stay ward sau 101 and ward 111"

About: Royal Stoke University Hospital

Where do I start my dad was admitted on the 17th of November the A&E staff where amazing especially the resus team they did a fantastic job 5 stars for them. But then we come to the ward staff on 101 + 111 I feel very sorry for patients with no relatives or friends as nor even care is given on the wards I fully understand that they have a lot to do but if your going to do a job at least do it properly. Asked for laxatives for my farther never got them the staff are very short when spoken to he was discharged to only go back again after less than 48 hours I new he was still to poorly to come home but they where struggling for beds! he was left on a chair for 12 hours in pain and been sick no privacy what so ever. I really hope I never have to use the royal stoke for myself I was so appalled as to how they care for patients

Thank you for taking the time to comment on your recent experience at our hospital. I have shared your feedback with the Teams in A&E, and also with the Ward Managers and Matrons for SAU and for Ward 111.

The care that the majority of patients receive in these areas is of high quality and we receive a lot of compliments about the compassion and care shown by our staff.

I am sorry that this was not your father’s experience on this occasion and would like to further investigate the issues you have raised. I would be grateful if you could contact our PALS Department on 01782 676450 or at patientadvice.uhnm@nhs.net to provide further details.

With kind regards

Rebecca Smith, Quality Improvement Facilitator: Patient Experience.
