Tameside General Hospital 2018-12-20 Person 1 5 0

I have been a carer and advocate for my parents and several relatives at end of life in other hospitals, I have never experienced such shockingly poor and inadequate care. I was admitted to A & E and the care I received there was exemplary, on transfer to the ward every single item of care failed. My notes were left out on a chair in public view for hours until my visitor retrieved them. My condition was not monitored as closely as it should have been or at all for some observations. Treatments were not explained or given in a timely manner. Important investigations were ignored until discharge. Apparently 7 and a half hours is not long enough for Tameside to produce four routine prescription items for a patient to take home. I could never recommend this Department/Ward to anyone. Their lackadaisical attitudes (which seem to be from management down) are a very severe threat to patient safety.
