Review titled Great treatment in Endoscopy unit
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rosemarie - Posted on 08 December 2023
Attended for a colonoscopy feeling very nervous. All contact with this department was positive. The reception staff, nursing staff and Endoscopist, when I visited, were at all times, helpful, encouraging and professional. The whole procedure was helped by the quality of interactions and care given. Thank you.

Review titled Ward 6
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 September 2023
Just to say how all the nurses on ward 6 are just Brilliant and are a credit to the furness general hospital but I must say that ambulance service transport services between millom and furness general hospital need a good looking at as this service for patients who need to get back to millom after hospital care is absolutely ridiculous and Is category listed for patients standing which is totally unacceptable millom people deserve more than this so come on morecambe's bay health trust get your fingers out and give millom the service it needs

My son's foot injury on the last day of our family holiday was diagnosed quickly as a fracture and treated with moon boot. Copy of xrays were provided to take to my local fracture clinic. NHS at it's best, makes me proud again to be able to use it for family and work in it as a consultant

Review titled My experience of service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Simon Stinchcombe - Posted on 08 June 2023
What a fantastic department. Smoothly run, plenty of staff tasked with a specific job roll, all tests well explained to you by clearly knowledgeable staff, all questions answered. As a result of the work they have done nothing in the department there is no long waiting between different test's If only all out patients departments could take a leaf out of their book they could all run as smoothly as this department Well done to all the staff. Best hospital experience ever, and I've had a few over the years. Well done again

Review titled Faultless A & E experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Derek Avery - Posted on 19 June 2023
04/06/23 10.15 am Arrived A&E reception having fallen and grazed R/H arm from wrist to above elbow. Swiftly through Triage and after a wait of 10-15 min I was seen and the wounds examined. Shortly after, the areas of skin that had been scraped down in the fall were returned to their correct position and the areas dressed. Advice for re-dressing was given. All the medical staff were kind, understanding and a perfect example of what I believe an A & E service within the NHS service should be. All the medical staff who have redressed my wounds subsequently have praised the treatment given to me originally and state that the efforts of those at Furness General Hospital have assisted the healing and much reduced any permanent scarring. I am deeply grateful to them for their skills that enabled me to carry on enjoying my holiday from which I have just returned. Thank you very much.

I would like to thank all staff in the endoscopy unit for their kindness, care and thoughtfulness they showed my stepdad who came in this morning for a colonoscopy. Everyone from the receptionist to the consultant could not have treated him better.

My wife and I visited The Lakes for a few days over Easter.When we left home In Frodsham,Cheshire,I was not feeling too bright but thought I would improve.After three days my symptoms were much worse and after failure to illicit any positive response from 101 and a visit to a pharmacist we had no alternative but to visit the A & E department at Barrow for must needed help. The response from your receptionist to “visitors “ the reception nurse, the triarge nurse was excellent.The Doctor who attended us and carried out an examination was was charming and efficient. May we sincerely thank you for providing such a positive and friendly service.
