"Inconsiderate"

About: Great Ormond Street Hospital Central London Site

Bear ward has drug room doors that slam shut and at night when you have very sick children on the ward they DO NOT want to be woken by these doors!!

Nurses also bang down syringes in trays when administering IV medication which is another horrible sound for a sick child to be woken up to.

Nurses come into cubicles at night and leave door wide open behind them letting in all the light and noise. Do these nurses not have compassion that they are working in a sick Childrens trust.

Nurses on bear ward were sitting outside when my child was vomiting despite me pressing call buzzer- eventually a student came who couldn’t administer oxygen anyway!

I do not want to speak to PALS I want the hospital to address this with the ward manager! Sick and tired of this lack of care and compassion.

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. These have been shared with the Ward Manager. She is working with her nurses to take account of your comments and has asked the Estates team to fit a silent closing system on the doors. The Ward Sister would like to hear any other concerns you have and can be contacted via the Pals team on 02078297862 or pals@gosh.nhs.uk.
