Has to wait for over three hours

January 29, 2018
I ended up in the Queen Elizabeth hospital waiting to be seen by the RAID team. I had to wait over three hours in distress and self-harming without being seen. The staff had no consideration on how I was feeling.

Badly lead management team

Accute ward
December 3, 2017
My medical feedback from the consultant had me identified as a known substance misuser which was untrue and could have lost me my job. I was excluded by the management team to attend a life changing meeting regarding my partner of 20yrs due to not having POA. They do not value long time carers input and they make costly unsafe decisions which impacts on the patient future care.

Cochlear implant

Hearing aid services
November 20, 2017
Cochlear implant: I was beginning to experience intermittent hearing loss. I was referred to a consultant as I was permanently deaf in my other ear. I went through a 2 year analysis and was fortunate enough to get funding. My implant was first fitted and I am extremely grateful as a tumor was removed in the process. I was supported all the way.
