Hospital Wards ‘Too Noisy at Night’, Say Nurses

June 17, 2014

(BBC) – Hospitals need to do more to ensure patients get a good night’s sleep, nurses say. Delegates at the Royal College of Nursing conference said a combination of thoughtlessness and badly run wards were keeping patients awake. They called for an end to patients being moved at night, which was causing unnecessary disturbances. But they also admitted they had to be more considerate themselves, during a debate at the meeting in Liverpool.
