Steve,
I am a ambulance technician working for wiltshire ambulance
service and a regular visiter to the RUH and for you to say the problem of
waiting times for unloading patients at bath is sorted is rubbish. We are
having to wait all the time to unload patients in a/e some crew have had the
patients on the ambulance trolley for over 2 hours where the staff refuse to
accept them in a/e.
I think bath out of all the hospitals i take patients to ie: PMH SDH is the
worst for accepting patients and it is about time this was sorted as the
patient care is forgotten and it is getting to the stage where it is a
regular occurance to see at least 10+ ambulance on a friday night waiting to
unload patients.
