Oh god I never thought I'd see that place again, I thought it would have been knocked down by now. I was a 6 yr old patient there in the 70s & it was terrifying, it left me with a fair bit of trauma because nursing was a whole lot different back then 😔

From the article “the CCTV footage apparently showed the 53-year-old patient left on the floor all night while a member of staff slept in his bed for two hours, used his toilet, prayed in his room and engaged in another inappropriate activity.” Prayed in his room?

About time the public were made aware that some NHS staff are not all that there cracked up to be.
