Night staff are the weakest link. Everything else...

"Night staff are the weakest link. Everything else..."

About: Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre

Anything else?

I feel multiple surgeries & multiple out patient appointments, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy & MRI investigations allows me to comment on this hospital with in depth knowledge. I would recommend this hospital to anyone requiring orthopaedic help & surgery. They quite simply treat you like you are the most important person they have ever treated.

The only weakness that I have seen repeatedly are the night shift staff attitudes. A lack of consideration for the need for a quiet night. I have witnessed loud laughter & conversation at the nurses station up to 2am. There is an increase of feelings of vulnerability of female patients at night that isn't acknowledged or given enough consideration.
