About: Basildon University Hospital

What I liked

Paramedics and some Doctors

What could be improved

Nurses - (Manual handling, Empathy and attitude)

Anything else?

* Paramedics were excellent

* Nurses did not log-roll a patient suspected of spinal injury. They asked me to slowly move myself to the other trolly.

* As I was fighting for my rights with a doctor and a nurse, The nurse walked away, asking the doctor to sort it out himself. ( I thought Nurse's were patient's advocate)

* A HCA, who never steered a trolley, took me unsupervised, to the X-ray, hitting the wall all the way, until, my husband helped her steer.

* I am a staff nurse myself, and knowing things made it difficult, to see the way they treat you ( I was in my uniform, as I had an incident while coming back from work)

* Also, all the nurses were busy resuscitating computers, not patients.

* A urine specimen bottle left, on the computer in the assessment room. with patient data.
