Care Opinion

Nothing at all.

Story from nhs.uk

"Nothing at all."

About: Darlington Memorial Hospital

(as the patient),

What I liked

Nothing at all.

What could be improved

Consideration for the individual patient rather than following a one size fits all policy. It is not acceptable for nursing staff to inform a patient on return from theatre that there are many other patients who are more needy on the ward and therefore care for people like me will be minimal.

Anything else?

There is absolutely no psychological or emotional backup for breast cancer patients at this hospital.
