My two days on medical HDU, a real learning curve of how lucky we are in europe/developed countries to have well-equipped health service.
As you can see from the photo. This is a real ward, HDU for that matter, poorly equipped. and in desparate need of TLC.
The environment is not welcoming, very depressive.
The staff on the wards are very knowledgeable but lack motivation. Motivation is a real problem, which I have my work cut out!!
Wards are often staffed with one nurse caring for 4 - 6 patients alone (night duty). On days staff are lucky to have another qualified staff member. Patient relatives act as porters, assisting the nurses with the care of their relative(s).
