Poor care on the oncology ward

"Poor care on the oncology ward"

About: Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham

I have the misfortune of a relative diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. After first dose of chemo, resulted in a hospital admission that left us with a lack of faith in the hospital, or the team caring for the patient. Patient care left a lot to be desired, lack of support for patients was unacceptable. I have severe misgivings about the availability of senior leadership at weekends.
