"Community nurse visits and no time frame"

About: North Manchester General Hospital / Urology

(as a service user),

Hello, I have read a few stories similar to mine, and it is frustrating to know that some of these stories are nine years old, and nothing seems to have changed. I respect the nurses and appreciate their hard work and dedication. However, when I am not given a time frame and am stuck waiting for them to come, it can be distressing, especially if I am uncomfortable moving or doing anything for fear of missing their arrival. I have worked in community care and know that time frames can be given, so I am curious why nurses cannot provide them. When asked, they simply say they cannot help with a time, which includes the IV access, bowel and bladder, and nutritional teams. I believe that addressing this situation properly would benefit many people.
