I'm a registered carer for my mum. She is currently in hospital after a fall and I visit her twice daily.
Today, whilst one of the nurses was doing her rounds, she was visiting my mother's bed and on her computer screen my mum's record was on screen (I could see my mum's name from where I sat).
I stood up to have a closer inspection as to what the records said and the nurse moved the screen away from me and said it's not allowed for GDPR purposes.
It's the 2nd time in two months that the hospital have refused me information about my mum.
Previously, mum had been in overnight whilst I was on holiday. Her temporary private carer wasn't given any information and nor was I when I asked (GDPR was the reason given again).
They informed me that the discharge notice would be sent to the GP but it wasn't for another few weeks and I was flying in the dark as to whether mum's hospital stay necessitated any specfic attention that I wasn't being made aware of.
Has anyone else come across this?
