3 wards in 9 days!

Story from nhs.uk

"3 wards in 9 days!"

About: The Princess Royal Hospital (Telford)

Anything else?

My father aged 88 years admitted on January 28th with breathing problems, after 9 days 3 different wards, many tests which the procedures not explained fully,we have had two different diagnosis, both with the same out come. terminal, Well so be it, lets be realistic hes 88,let us all enjoy what time we all have together.Hospital appointment cancelled at the last minute, test results are not back, what test results!

While in hospital one senior nurse was very rude to my mother for no reason,shes 81 years old and concerned for her husband of over 60 years.The list goes on,on visiting, 8 or more nurses standing around chatting,non offering to move to let people pass.Im very cross.Our vet gives more information and shows more concern over the cat! Oh maybe its because my dad is 88 and not a private patient.Would i recomend this hospital to anybody no.I could be writing this all day the list is so long! On the plus side a couple of nurses were very nice and obviously worked with thought.

A couple of thoughtful nurses, but clearly the rest of your experience does not match the standards we want to provide for all of our patients and their relatives. Unfortunately this website does not share your contact details with us so I would encourage you to contact our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS).The PALS office is located near the main entrance at the Princess Royal Hospital. It is normally open Mon-Thu 9am-5pm and Fri 9am-4.30pm. You can also contact them by telephone on 01952 282888, and there is an answerphone to take messages outside opening hours. Please note that PALS staff may be busy with other patients or relatives when you call, so please accept our apologies if they are not available immediately to take your call. More information about PALS is available from our website at http://www.sath.nhs.uk/patients-and-visitors/pals
