As a retired ward sister I was appalled by the lack of, for want of a better phrase - 'joined up services'.
There appeared no communication between teams of medical staff.
Some nurses were not only unkind, but cruel.
I think I had better leave it there....I can feel my ire rising.
I know what my 86 year old mother has to say about nursing standards.She did her S.R.N.training at Burnley Vic and was senior staff nurse at A.V.H. Casualty when it was going. She is completely appaled at the lack of nursing .In her words "they are all pen pushers now"
