1Mayday University Hospital.
Abstract:
Feedback from patients in an acute trust found concerns centred on a lack of information, staff attitudes, cleanliness and lack of privacy. Improvements introduced include calmer mealtimes, more ward cleaning, a new style of hospital nightgown, and offering a free toiletries bag for emergency admissions. Including patients and carers at ward sisters' development days is a powerful tool in influencing staff attitudes.
