Review titled Exemplary Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Helen Collings - Posted on 11 April 2023
Sadly, my stepfather passed away on Ward 21 recently. As a family, we felt that we, as well as he, received exemplary support and care from the staff of Ward 21, both nursing staff and support staff.

Review titled Third Rate Clinical Care
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 April 2023
After being admitted to hospital by ambulance for a badly infected Gaul bladder I was put on the surgical ward. The container holding saline was allowed to run dry by staff who appeared to be more interested in hurling around inappropriate and crass 'banter'. I was so dehydrated and felt so ill I discharged myself to a point of safety. This ward is a disgrace to the NHS.

Review titled Excellent Professional service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rachel Bosley - Posted on 20 April 2023
I visited Accident and Emergency department Wednesday morning I had a severe pain and previous history. My treatment was quick acting to give me total trust and pain relief within 20 minutes I was seen within 5 minutes . The waiting room was full I felt totally at ease and the lead nurse practitioner I believe was fantastic what a wonderful experienced team you have. I saw the consultant who reassured me and my X-rays were ordered immediately The pain relief I required administered immediately too. I was on a ward within the hour cared for and felt total admiration from such a brilliant effort in Accident and Emergency Thankyou

Review titled Excellent service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Had an " emergency appointment " at dermatology after being referred by my GP, the appointment was on time, un-rushed and dealt with very professionally, i cheekily asked for an opinion on an unrelated matter, to my complete surprise this was dealt with immediately without fuss by the excellent staff, saved me a trip to the GP for treatment. Proud of the service offered by Barnsley NHS staff 10/10 ..

Review titled Good experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 March 2023
I have had two cataract operations at Barnsley, the second one at an extra Saturday clinic. On both occasions the nursing staff were friendly and reassuring, and the surgeon was careful, very thorough and very efficient. Before the first operation I was very nervous, but because of a good experience on that day I went into the second operation without any fears at all. Excellent teamwork from everyone there.

Review titled Completely out of touch with reality
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Nick - Posted on 24 March 2023
How out of touch with reality can the Barnsley NHS be. A fret a visit to my local GP I am told to go to reception and book a blood test with the practice nurse.I am told “Can’t do that you will have to ring the blood department at the glassworks”. I kid not 5 hrs later and 155 calls later with no response I drive to the glassworks and am told “You can’t book an appointment here and I don’t know why you’ve been told to ring that number as you won’t get an answer because it’s only got one person answering” next day I go to Barnsley Hospital blood department where one member of staff is constantly making telephone appointments and a nurse is doubling up as a receptionist and then taking blood. Lovely staff couldn’t have been more helpful and gave me an appointment. But the system is broken and I am ashamed to say need privatisation. Disgraceful organisation by those at the top.

Was admitted on 13th March and after numerous exa inations and tests the doctors came up with an ailment l had never heard of before. Guillain Barre Syndrome. It's very rare and it was very scary. I must say a big big thank you to the doctors and all the hospital staff for looking after me oh so well. I am now back on my feet and getting stronger by the day. l can't thank everyone enough. Eternally grateful and l will never forget the wonderful staff.

Review titled Ridiculously long wait time
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 March 2023
Recently took my brother to A&E on the instruction of 111 when he started experiencing concussion symptoms following a car crash. We were triaged within half an hour however then spent the next 6 hours waiting to be seen by someone. Despite being told in traige he needed to be monitored throughout to check his neurological symptoms he was checked by a nurse once after 3 hours of being there. Pain medication was requested twice and both times ignored by staff. I understand services are understaffed and underfunded but spending nearly 7 hours in A&E on instruction from 111 to have received less attention than could have been given at home is appalling.

Review titled Outstanding Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mr. S. Fletcher - Posted on 21 March 2023
After visiting a Minor Injuries Unit, I was told they could not help me with my particular issue and that I should visit an A and E department. I chose Barnsley Hospital because I attend and have attended, other clinics there over the last forty years and have always been impressed with the quality of the care that I have received. Upon arrival, from the receptionist; the nurse in triage and the doctor that I saw, they were all polite, helpful, professional and caring. I was seen in triage within ten minutes and saw the doctor in just over one hour from triage. An excellent service from a busy and hardworking department. Thank you all very much.

Review titled Colonoscopy horror
Rated 1 star out of 5

I had a colonoscopy procedure in March 2023 which was supposed to be uncomfortable or mildly painful. Instead it was the worst pain I have ever experienced and the sedation given was useless. The nursing staff however were lovely.
