"Two day stay in medical assessment ward"

Well what a contrast.

My 93 year old father was in the unit for 2 days.

His treatment was first class, the Doctors, ward staff, reception and catering staff were kind and courteous dispite communication difficulties with is deafness and visual impairment.

The doctor came to see me to discuss his care on my first visit to the hospital and I did not have to chase to find out what was happening.They catered for his needs and made sure he was not left feeling isolated.

He was changed into pyjamas and washed.

I can't speak highly enough of their care.

This is a very stark contrast to his stay in the sister hospital at the City Nottingham.

Perhaps the City should learn some lessons from this.

If he needs to go into hospital again I will certainly push for him to be in QMC.

During his stay they had a very difficult wife of a patient to deal with, she obviously had mental issues, but again they dealt with her is a very caring way without her disrupting the rest of the patients and visitors.

Very well done to all.

I marked the level of cleanness down as a 4 star, but that is because I honestly didn't notice and didn't see anyone cleaning, but there was certainly not problem with it.
