My mam has just left hospital after a grilling 4 weeks. Sad to say whilst she was in she had a serious fall in the toilet and ended up been sent down for a ct scan which I know is stranded procedure to make sure there is no internal bleeding. I don't hold it against the member of staff for my mam falling because I know how fiercely I dependant my mam is. However, if the pull cord was closer to the toilet my mam wouldn't of had the fall. Yes the cord is suppose to being moved closer to the seat but this should of been put into the correct place anyway. My solution would be also to have the lower part of the walls cushioned. Also at the weekends the staffing levels are a disgrace;(get more nurses on the ward). Last but least The Pharmacy or (joke shop) who are they kidding! it doesn't take 7 1/2 hrs to put a nomad system up Put me in charge of that department and I'll have the work load done in half the time, they are just too lazy or are missing there self confidence to do the job they trained for.
