Royal Victoria Hospital 2018-05-09 Person 2 5 0

I’m currently an in-patient In a medical ward. It’s 1.40 am and I’ve been repeated woken by internal phones ringing and machines that bleep constantly. Surely there is a silent button on drips, blood pressure monitors, etc so that staff can continue to carry out duties with out a fan fare of bleeping machines. Every single machine has some sort of bleep that goes off 24/7. As for the internal phones ringing... can someone tell me why they are ringing at 12.50am. If I have to tell you why it so important to sleep after surgery or during an illness you need to sack your chief executive! The night nosie In This hospital is not good for patients in any shape form or description. Constructive suggestion: Teach staff where the silent buttons are in equipment for night use. Or purchase new equipment with night silence. Bring ear phones with you and an eye mask for the over head lights if you want to get any sleep. Someone tell staff to stop phoning each other or get some sort of mobile phone issued to one staff member on ward that does not ring. Learn how to use the silent/vibrate mode on the phone. I don’t think I could recommend this hospital. It’s to big and way too noisy for anyone who is ill.
