Poor awareness for visual impairment

Gastrointestinal and Liver services
July 10, 2017
poor awareness & understanding to care for people with visual impairment. Staff walk off really fast & say follow them, which I can't. Don't take into account visual impairment, leaving me having to explain time after time. More awareness & training needed, especially in A &E.
I had short waiting times, and was treated well.

Inpatient - cardiac care

Cardiology
May 18, 2017
The experience was largely good and the vast majority of staff on the ward are very friendly and have a good bedside. One nurse was very rude to my family when they were visiting me but she was the exception. I would like to single out the junior sister on the ward for special praise as she has been especially helpful to both me and my family.
