"Missing the basics"

About: Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary / Acute Medicine

(as a relative),

Recently visited a relative who was admitted to CAU at DGRI and wished to provide some feedback.   My relative was not offered any meal at any point on their admission day, no water jug was provided and no hot beverages.   We ended up bringing fresh bottles of water in to ensure they could have a drink and also purchased food for them.   I'm not sure why this was missed, but when you see the drinks trolley making its way round the ward and for whatever reason misses someone out I don't feel this is right   I would have said something at the time but my relative wouldn't allow me to make a fuss!   Hence why I am leaving feedback here as I feel it is something that should be addressed and feedback to staff on the unit.

Dear WizardHarry,

I am sorry to hear of your relative's experience within our assessment unit at DGRI and I thank you for bringing this to our attention. It is disappointing to hear that we have not provided the high level of care that we would expect our teams to provide to all of our patients.

If you would be prepared to contact our Patient Experience & Safety Team directly on either 01387 241690 or via dumf-uhb.acutecomplaints@nhs.net we would like to look at this in more detail.

Kind regards,

Annette
