Good morning
Sometimes I get told about the most odd things!
There seems to be a growing trend of family/friends having a sleep in the patients bed when they go the theatre. When they are asked not to, staff are often abused.
Staff want to know how to address this growing problem. Has anyone dealt with this issue in their hospital?
Thanks

Hi Joe-anne, you could suggest to them that it is not an infection control issue……
