After my mum's damage was catalogued someone visited her from Kingsmill in Newark hospital. Her heels are still healing. This stressed her because she couldnt recall the date and the person. claimed they didnt know who it was that moved her in the night as they only had initials. Come on Kingsmill. Surely you keep records of who is wandering ward with dementia patients locked in on the 5th floor? Your claims that you cant find who needs retraining are ludicrous. My mum can say what happened to her, the other patients can't. What kind of vulnerable patient protection do you have? Why does my mums competence in recalling the event weeks later have any weight? Victim bullying comes to mind. Sherwood hospital Mansfield Kingsmill if you don't admit responsibility what will stop it happening again. This whole incident has been summed up as my mum was too confused to take her medication. Parkinsons nurse learn from this, warn patients that they need company when they go without medications. Ambulance and carer make sure the patient can reach medication, fluid and food when you leave them!
