"Domestic staff in northey wing ..."

About: Epsom Hospital

(as the patient),

What I liked

Domestic staff in northey wing were fantastic and the staff in the coronary care unit were caring and dedicated

What could be improved

Unfortunately the staff in northy wing let it down with a big bang. They do not talk to the patients spending most of the time round the nursing station. Pharmacists who take it upon themselves to change medications without discussing it with consultants, deciding to stop medication because it was expensive even though the pct had agreed to fund it. After the disagreement I was sent to coventry (yes I was a patient in hospital, its the caring profession). although still on a nitrate infusion one of the nurses cut the observations from 4 hrly to daily.

I am very sorry to read about the experience that you had when you were an inpatient at Epsom Hospital. I am not sure if you used our Patient Advice and Liaison Service to look into the events that you have described, as I do not have your name. It is always disappointing to read about a patients' negative experience as it dilutes all of the positive work that goes on in the hospital. Please accept my sincere apologies that this was your experience and if you would like to speak further about it, you can contact the Patient Advice & Liaison Service on 0208 296-2508.
