Labour ward excellent, post natal ward very poor, bordering on negligent.
The labour team were excellent, providing a high level of professional expertise and personal care.
The post natal ward has in contrast been very poor, bordering on the professionally negligent (one or two individuals being exceptions) The midwife in charge of my partner has repeatedly failed to provide her with her scheduled painkillers and other medications, including blood thinners, to the extent that my partner feels she has to shoulder the responsibility of monitering her medication schedules herself. When confronted with a failure to provide painkillers, with a witness to this present, the midwife fabricated an excuse we know to be untrue.
Instead of attending to the basic necessaries of care, this midwife and one other have instead given time to an intrusive line of enquiry which we found highly offensive.
