My Granny is dying. She is on a noisy ward and people are shouting/coming in and out all the time. She has pneumonia and they have stopped the antibiotics as it is just getting worse.
She has possibly a few more days left and wants to die in peace, but they are fobbing off my mum saying she'd need an assessment and then to go onto a waiting list.
I've already spoken to the hospice and they said the hospital can do an urgent referral, fax over a form tonight and then she'll be discussed at the meeting tomorrow morning.
I don't know how we can access this pathway, quickly, if the nurses mum spoke to are saying otherwise - has anyone any advice please?
