Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham

Poor Service Recieved

They tried to kill my mom, in November 2019 mom was taken there with pneumonia, she needed dialysis but they made us sign a DNR before they would do it, I had to request that they gave her antibiotics there response was she is sick I had to still say I wanted her to have them. I then had to request that they put her on fluids as she was not able to eat or drink, there response was you know she has Cancer, I had to request again that they give her fluids. Mom is on Morphine 10mg tablets 4times a day, they reduced her Morphine to 5mg twice a day with out informing anyone in the family, we found this out when mom cried in pain for hours while on dialysis, I had to speak to her dialysis doctor who found this out for me and got the hospital to put her medication right. They then caused an internal bleed because they kept putting an injection of heparin in her stomach even after I had shown them that it was creating a problem, mom had to have a blood infusion of 3 bags of blood. This is only a small part of what happened in the 3 weeks mom was there.

Right to Reply

As part of our commitment to providing an honest and transparent view of health and social care services, Healthwatch Birmingham & Solihull encourages providers to respond to comments the public have left.

Alongside ensuring providers can have a fair say in discussions about their services, replying to reviews demonstrates evidence of responding to patient feedback for the CQC, who regularly monitor our Feedback Centre. It is also an effective way to recruit service users for any wider engagement work at your organisation.

Guidelines for provider responses:

  • Keep language appropriate and civil
  • Remain professional and treat people's comments fairly
  • Engage with the content of the review by addressing specific points and avoid cut and pasting a standard response
  • Don't disclose the service user's personal details or any potentially identifying information
  • Where appropriate leave organisational contact details e.g PALS or patient engagement teams for people to get further information

Remember: your response will be seen by everyone who uses the Feedback Centre, not just the original reviewer. All responses are moderated in accordance with our moderation policy.

For full terms and conditions, including a guide to how right to reply works for service providers download this guide.
