Some progress at last. The carers liaison officer at the hospital is going to speak to the doctor or the nurse, whoever she can talk to, to request that as they have my POA document on file will they please communicate with me and make sure that is passed on. She will also ask them how I will be informed of a move to a pathway 3 bed and how much notice I will be given. Previous experience has made me need to ask.
The Later Life Assessment team have seen C and confirmed that her repeating of "don't let them hurt me" and other variations on that theme is caused by her previous sensitivity to being touched by carers when the blistering was at it's peak. They will pass that on to the nurses and to the nursing home doing the pathway 3 assessment. I think everyone has been working on that assumption anyway, but if it is officially diagnosed as anxiety and is in the record then I feel a bit better about it being part of a future care plan.
