My 17 year old daughter had a bleed in get brain in June 2015, the surgeons were able to fix the bleed. The intensive care staff were very good but when it came to her being transferred to the subsequent wards that's where the drop in care happened.
She was left pretty much alone most of the time with me doing the tasks that a nurse should have been doing. The truth is they are over worked with insufficient staff to deal with all the patients.
When it came to her coming home that's when it seriously went wrong. 12 weeks after coming home we've had no out patients appointment or any kind of follow up care. It would appear she was never issued a discharge letter so has been completely missed out of the loop. This is a child not with a broken arm but who has had major brain surgery.. How can this happen? It's a joke!
"Average care."
