Firstly, the theatre nurses, doctors and anaesthetist were wonderful.
Secondly, the ward staff were excellent.
However: A system has been put on the computer screen for staff to fill in and it is referred to by all staff. It seems nursing staff do not know what some of the abbreviations mean or stand for, so that space is left blank. I observed what I believe was a dangerous lack of understanding and training in at least 5 staff, who all questioned each other as to what the three letters meant. If felt it was obvious they have not been trained sufficiently.
