I was in a side room on ward C4, the acute stroke ward, at the QMC, 10 months ago. I was left alone for hours, and even when I pressed the call button because i needed the nurse, no-one came for at least 20 minutes.
There should be a system in place for prompt response to such calls, especially to a sideroom - who knows what emergency could be occurring, and a 20 minute delay could be fatal.
When I was discharged, I was totally ignored as I staggered past staff sitting at desks, they didn't seem interested.
