All staff were very friendly and kind but clearly understaffed on the ward. There were a few points that would make me unsure about recommending Warrington to others I only got consented for the planned c section in theatre so no time to digest information One nurse broke 3 needles trying to take bloods and put items to balance onto my scar whilst taking bloods, I had to ask twice to be careful After trying to go for a shower, the first movement after anaesthesia wore off I was very dizzy and faint, I was provided with a wheelchair and moved to the sink for a wash but then nearly fainted in the chair and couldn't reach the alarm. no one could hear me ask for help, it was through bashing backward and forward luckily I managed to reach an alarm by overstretching. The nurses thought I had been taken back. due to the amount of patients you would have to ask for medication multiple times when coming in and out for observation sometimes the lights were left on and curtains open which as I was unable to move I couldn't turn off or close The staff clearly care about patients and I got great support with breastfeeding amongst other basic needs but the points above made me want to go home a bit earlier than I wanted for better care. It was extremely busy and I feel to do the best job they need more staff on the ward.
