An expert says she encountered 'disrespect, distrust and egotism' among staff at the QEUH in Glasgow.
An expert says she had never experienced a "more seriously toxic atmosphere" than the one she found among infection prevention and control staff at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.
The infection control expert said this was caused by a combination of estates issues, a dysfunctional infection control structure, and a sub-standard building. However, she said that after going through the appropriate checks and being assigned an office, she “suddenly” found her contract was terminated before it began.
She said that faced with these events she would have launched a major review, and put measures in place to improve water and air quality.
