@albiejuniorparalympics: My mam waited approximately 24 hours for a hospital bed. But is this happening at other hospitals too? That’s the question that’s taken me from Glan Clwyd Hospital to Wrexham Maelor, and now across the border to the Countess of Chester Hospital. Two different NHS systems, but are patients facing similar pressures? I’ve been speaking to people and asking questions because I want to understand what’s happening on both sides of the border. Have you recently attended the Countess of Chester? Or experienced hospitals in both England and Wales? I’d like to hear the good and the bad. I’ll be bringing everything together in another video, sharing what I’ve learned from visiting all three hospitals and hearing people’s experiences. #CountessOfChester #NHS #NHSWales #NorthWales #GlanClwydHospital
I’ve spent 3 days on a plastic chair in the countess a&e with sepsis , it was torture

i'm always at the countess, and i'll be honest - i rarely have a problem when i'm there! Ever since the SDEC centre opened, it's helped A&E massively!

I prefer the countess 100%. Wrexham Maelor have you waiting hours on end 90% of the time, however the countess have you seen within a few hours max. I’ve never had angood experience in wrexham, however the countess is fantastic every single time. And I’m a frequent attender to A&E

Wales is underfunded if you compare the type of patients it has (on average older, more likely to be disabled) which is a negative but also it has less privatisation than england which is a positive (privatisation wastes a lot of money)

Waited 3 days to get a bed in Wrexham hospital after being took in by ambulance for suspected stroke. The 4th day I got a bed and finally had the mri and was told it wasn’t a stroke. It was scary waiting 3 days and being in agony from them stupid chairs. A different time in Chester I dislocated my hip and they wouldn’t get me a wheelchair. I had to drag myself to the waiting room, the pain was unbearable but they wouldn’t give me any medicine until I had been seen by a doctor but it had been hours and the pain was horrendous. I ended up passing out in the waiting room and other patients had to rush and get help. Finally I was seen, the doctor was rude and didn’t believe me. After the xray she was a lot nicer obviously. But as a chronically ill person I avoid the hospital at all costs but sometime you have no choice. And then when you get there they never believe you and make you feel like shit. Every time I’ve been I have to educate them on my condition because they don’t even know what it is. I actually feel sick thinking about having to go back to that place. It’s traumatic everytime and no one should have to go through that.
