Review titled Fantastic Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mr David Dearden - Posted on 14 February 2023
On Sunday night I collapsed. 111 sent an emergency ambulance and within a short time I was at accident and emergency. There was no waiting and I was seen immediately by a doctor, the nursing staff were all very professional. After the appropriate treatment I was able to go home on Monday morning. I could not have expected anything better, thank you,

The service and staff have been brilliant from start to finish. I was informed and reassured throughout my experience. Every member of staff I came in to contact with were lovely. Particularly the Endoscopy team who performed my colonoscopy.

Review titled Perfect, could not be bettered
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Tony Orvis - Posted on 20 January 2023
I attended the Treatment Centre on 19th January 2023 for the removal of a patch of skin cancer on my face. Everyone I saw were very professional and friendly. My procedure took place on time and at every stage I was told what was happening and was completely relaxed. I cannot express just how impressed I was with everyone involved. Many thanks.

Review titled Great care
Rated 4 stars out of 5

I want to praise the excellent care given by all the staff at Hinchingbrooke A&E Department to my elderly father on 19th January after he'd had a fall. He couldn't have been looked after better. A huge thank you to all the dedicated staff.

Review titled Continuous cancellation
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 January 2023
My husband was due to have an operation in December. As I'm a school teacher I arranged cover for my class only to have my husband's operation cancelled. His operation was set for 11th January, again I arranged cover for my class and yet again his operation was cancelled this time due to a bed shortage. This cancellation is not helping my husband who is finding it very difficult to cope with and also with me having to arrange and keep cancelling staff cover. This is not what we expected to happen after waiting nearly 3 years.

Review titled Blood test refusing service
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 January 2023
Duing covid, the blood test department had reduced hours. They are now thankfully back to normal hour. 5pm finish!! Sat down at 4:10pm, but no tickets in the machine. Four patients waiting. Told to go away. No new patients. Pretty poor.

Review titled No communication
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Helen Reid - Posted on 12 December 2022
After 3 different doctors medically discharging my mother, it has taken another 10 days to get her 'discharged' and we are still not there yet. In the end, I've arranged care and told them when I needed her transported home to coincide. That was booked for 10am this morning, carers coming in for 2pm, so allowing 4 hours to transport her 16 miles and it is now over 5 hours on and she is still there, apparently in the 'discharge lounge', which is another word for Daisy ward, whose line is constantly busy, as if it is off the hook. Since trying to get my mum discharged I have spoken to many care agencies who all say Hinchingbrooke is the worse for discharging patients. Absolutely terrible, no communication between departments, way too many departments, no one taking responsibility, be prepared to do their jobs for them, and repeat yourself 100 times.

Review titled Wonderful experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sue Johnson - Posted on 28 December 2022
I had a hip replacement on 23rd December. All the staff from the Consultant to the nurses, physios and HCAs were kind and caring even though it was over Christmas and they were away from their own families. I was never made to feel a burden or a nuisance even though some of them were clearly exhausted. Thank you for all your care and help.

Review titled Caring ED staff
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 December 2022
I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for the care I received in ED at Hinchingbrooke. When I arrived I was in a lot of pain, and very tired and anxious. I had heard about the trust being on critical capacity, with very long waits in ED and was not keen to attend the hospital when my GP had recommended it. Despite the obvious pressures, every single member of staff I encountered was kind, caring and compassionate, and took time to make sure I was comfortable. Thank you
