Many aspects that were not good.

There were so many aspects during my father's stay that weren't good.The medical care was generally good. However, as a family it felt that we had to monitor all aspects of the care on the ward as information was not passed on to new shifts. There was little consistency with staff and very little explanation given when we asked. My father had a procedure carried out but we had to wait until 9 pm for a doctor to explain what had been done and why, which was eight hours after the procedure was done. We never felt fully confident that everything was being addressed and certain things happened that were identified by family rather than staff on the ward.
