One nurse said: 'My fellow nurses are appalled by this on patient safety grounds and on patient dignity'
PATIENTS at Glasgow's superhospital are to be moved out of A&E even if there is no bed available for them on a ward.
NHS Tayside already uses a continuous flow system, but it is considered controversial by some medics as patients can spend hours on trolleys instead.NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde insist that patients will not be left unsupervised in corridors, but may be placed outside a bedroom within a ward where they would"never be out of eyesight of the nursing team" and be given a call bell.
Otherwise, it states that by 3pm each day "all planned patient moves should have taken place, all patients moved under GlasFLOW will be in a bed or have a plan for the bed they will go into imminently".
