Not a thread about a thread, just a similar discussion to others..
I'm an auxiliary nurse and I'd be really interested to hear, from a patient perspective, what I can do to make people's time in hospital a bit better.
I know that we all try to do all we can and more, but it seems from several threads on here and in the press, that we might be able to do more and I'd be interested to know what would make a difference.
To give you a bit of background - I work on a medical/surgical unit, with up to 50 different patients a week. I'm not qualified in nursing per se (I'm not a registered nurse) but I have training in all legal requirements. I can't give medication but I can do most other things. Quite often I'm one of the nurses who spends the most time with the patient, doing washing/meals etc.
I don't want to influence the thread by saying what I do myself to try to make things better, but would be very interested to know what people think we could do to improve things.. No matter how small!
Please don't turn this into an nhs bashing thread - I am genuinely interested in getting an opinion on how you guys feel things could be improved at the front line, so to speak :)
Any advice, feedback etc welcome :)
