Review titled Fantastic Consultants
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Adam Nolan - Posted on 01 May 2024
Both Mr. H and Mr. R have looked after my eye surgery beautifully. They have given me so much more confidence. I am delighted. All the nursing and theatre staff deserve credit in the day surgery department. I could not have been looked after any better. The clinic staff where pre op and aftercare is carried out are all kind and friendly. My only complaint was the Dr I saw after the second surgery. I had never seen this woman before. I was invited into the room where I was rushed through an appointment. The woman didn’t look at my op-site or discuss my operations. When you have to book two hours or your own very precious time out. The least one should expect is to be told how the surgeons felt the operations had gone. She explained nothing. I think we exchanged less than 20 words. It does reflect on what the rest of the excellent team have done. Fortunately, the rest of my experience has been faultless. So please don’t take this as a criticism of the department. Just her. The rest of you - thank you. I am so grateful.

Review titled First rate care.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Michael Stephenson - Posted on 22 April 2024
My father, aged 99, was admitted to the ward after a couple of falls at home. He was cared for by a group of people whose approach was optimistic, loving and respectful. My sister and I were always made welcome and kept informed of all developments. We could not have been more delighted with all of the team. The afternoon before he died, Dad asked about going home. We told him this was unlikely at present. He immediately replied: No hurry, I'm very comfortable here. They are all lovely people.

Review titled Patient centred care
Rated 4 stars out of 5

Admitted as emergency with Acute Urinary Retention. Felt very anxious. Staff on ward were helpful and reassuring, as were Registrar and Consultant when I saw them. Ward was clean and tidy and all staff were Aware of their duties and carried them out efficiently. Ward ran very smoothly.

Review titled Could be dead for all I know
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Worried wife - Posted on 05 March 2024
Hubby admitted 6pm. 36hrs later he is still waiting in a chair with extreme pain. I can't get through to anyone in the department, as nobody answers a phone. All i want is an update, so I can put my kids minds at rest that their dad's OK.

Review titled Very poor service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 February 2024
I'm surprised more deaths due to poor quality service, understaffed and bad practice isn't happening. Spend 6 hours in a&e to be told I need bloods taking still and because no physical notes were made up to put in the handover box it was forgotten. Then told its another 6 to 8 hrs to see a doctor. Told staff were short as people not turned in. Staff only see patients for individual tasks instead of doing everything in one go like in the past. Doctor seemed lost or new as she kept asking nurses what todo. A@e could be streamlined to run better and seen patients in one hit saving multiple sittings with nurses and doctors. It's like since covid the hospitals are running on work to rule with no real urgency. If they where fined for every 30 min extra It took to wait tge hospitals would soon get you in and out

Without a doubt, my appointment this morning has to be one of the best medical experiences I've had. All the staff were very friendly and professional and I was put at ease immediately. I thoroughly recommend this department. Thanks!

Review titled Amazing Experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sheila Tootell - Posted on 11 February 2024
I found the Cardiology Team at all levels were professional, pleasant, friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The wards and waiting areas etc, were spotlessly clean and I was kept supplied with food and drinks. It felt as though I was staying in a private hospital, not an NHS one. A million thanks Cardiology Team and to the Cardiologist Consultant who treated me, for all your expertise, dedication and kindness. I couldn't have been in better hands. Sheila Tootell
