"ward 314"

About: Royal Derby Hospital

I had never been to the hospital before however had high hopes as I was told many good things about the hospital . However my high hopes were dashed when my partner arrived on ward 314 . She had been in since saturday afternoon having become 13 days overdue to go into labour . Throughout the period of her stay in the labour ward things were great & all the staff were brilliant but after having a c section she got transfered to ward 314 which was when it all changed . Many of the staff are nice but its the minority that destroy it . They are rude , disrespectful , ill manored , un-caring & have the worse communicaion skills i have ever seen in my life . They don't do things immediatly they do things half hour - an hour after they have finished their drinks . It is disgraceful how staff can treat patients the way they do !! .
