Review titled Car Parking
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 June 2024
A shambles, not even spaces considering its the main hospital in the county. Expecting a heavly pregnant woman walk from the main carpark (if you can find a space) all they way over to the maternity ward (with a tiny carpark) in high temperatures is extremely poor. Is there any plans to increase the parking at the hospital? Leaving enough time to get to appointment then spending up to about 10 minutes trying your odds to find a space then having to walk across site making you late for the appointment. Desperately needs reviewing.

Review titled A&E a sad mess
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Andrew B - Posted on 06 June 2024
A&E at Lincoln County isn't breaking, its already broken. Sadly the 30+ hour wait for a bed in A&E has been trivialised and normalised here as I witnessed with my father. Reception staff on the A&E just shrug their shoulders if you dare ask for an update. What I witnessed was an A&E with clearly not enough staff to cope. The doctors and nurses do their very best and are to be commended, but the supply simply doesn't meet the demand. Wait times are outrageous, suspected strokes being left hours in chairs, elderly patients facing 2 night waits on chairs for a bed. Its a sad sad sight.

Review titled Terrible service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Ray - Posted on 17 May 2024
Was sent to a & e by my doctor with a notification from him, no seats, people on intravenous drips in the waiting room, no staff available apart from over stretched nurses going round doing observations on people. 9 and half hours I spent there for a blood test, and I left with no information about anything at all. And when I went back to my doctors to speak to him the write was he had wasn't what was said to me, no x ray, but i did get a coffee and a sandwich which was much appreciated. I'd recommend no one goes there at all. All the lower staff are running round like headless chickens, all the doctors are sat behind a screen talking about whatever. Totally don't recommend going here. Couldn't even get my pain killers because the pharmacy was closed, and the prescription was only valid in the hospital, and to top it all off it cost me 8 quid to park there, I could have gone to the pharmacy at tesco, baught a meal deal some painkillers and had money left, and I'd get an afters. Not Impressed At All....

Review titled Fantastic Staff
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Joe P - Posted on 13 May 2024
I visited the A&E and, by extension, the Same Day Emergency Care unit for symptoms of a suspected heart attack. The staff who treated me throughout my stay were terrific - friendly, approachable and filled with a sense if humour. I just really want them to know how much I appreciate the time and energy they put on me today. However, one small complaint that stops this being a perfect score is that I was told to wait in the room of "green chairs" after having my X-Ray. There were 3 rooms with green chairs and my stay was extended by two hours because I ended up in the wrong room with no one knowing where I was. However, this was only one small blip. Thank you all for your amazing service today.

Review titled Breast screening services are absolutely fantastic
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Debbie - Posted on 04 June 2024
Recalled after a routine mammogram, staff were so friendly and whole service was brilliant. Unfortunately wasn't the best news, however so far all appointments have been on time, staff are still brilliant. Next step operation, fingers crossed all will be good.

Review titled Outstanding care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Wendy Selby - Posted on 12 May 2024
My mother experienced a severe stroke while on holiday. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the departments involved in her care. The communication and support provided to my brother, who remained with my mother, was exceptional. Despite the difficult circumstances, the medical team treated my mother with dignity and respect, honoring all our requests as a family. Although I was unable to be present, I am grateful for the exceptional care and compassion shown to my mother during her stay. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Review titled Cardiology
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Sarah Britz - Posted on 02 May 2024
I had an appointment with Cardiology to see a consultant on the 1st of May. I’ve waited a very long time for this. I received a call the Friday before saying don’t come in as the consultant will be phoning you from his clinic at 9.30am on the appointed day. I received no call. I tried contacting the department with the tel numbers listed in my letter. No reply as the phone just kept ringing out. I tried over ten times. I then left a message for his secretary. She hasn’t got back to me. I eventually got through to outpatients and was told they didn’t know why this had happened but he was still in clinic and would ring me that afternoon. Again! No call. If I hadn’t bothered to turn up it would be classed as a did not turn up. But what happens when they don’t turn up? Or call? Or leave a message explaining? I’ve just been left in limbo. It’s absolutely appalling. I’ve heard some negative reviews about Lincoln County hospital but this just takes the biscuit.
