"very poor care"

About: St James's University Hospital

Took my daughter today down to A and E as she is 9 weeks pregnant and was bleeding heavily so she was obviously very distressed and she has mental health issues. The nurses would not let me stay with her mentioning corona virus. We both had masks so why should my presence calming my daughter be any problem. There were others with no masks and no staff confronted them. Plus a lady was with her parents and was not asked to leave and yet I had to go outside. I mentioned my daughter had mental health issues and she needed me to be with her plus there should be consistency and was told there was which was a ridiculous comment when clearly there was not. Toilets and entrance to area not clean plus people smoking outside when hospital banned it last Tuesday. My daughter received no sympathy from a doctor but she had been told when she rang up St James a gynaecologist could see her if she came down which proved not to be true. An absolute shambles and so we have paid for a scan privately so my daughter can find out if she has miscarriaged. Totally unorganised and no communication. Very poor

Good Afternoon

Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback.

I am really sorry to hear of your daughters experience in A&E and with the Gynecology Department and that the toilets were not of an acceptable level of cleanliness.

If you would like to discuss this matter please contact the PALS Team for Leeds Teaching Hospitals on 0113 2066261 or email patientexperience.leedsth@nhs.net

Kind regards

Rosie Horsman
