Rated 1 star out of 5

Where can start people are with love one use the seats. Staff don't tell move so no room for actually people that are ill. Lot food is sugar and when ur I'll sugar Feed the infection.

Review titled Worst experience every time
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 30 June 2023
This Hospital needs complete overall of its performance through an independent audit. Most of the staff are careless, impolite and uninterested to take patient seriously. Looks like they are not trained properly. I visited the A&E three times so far and every time I noticed the same lack of professionalism from nurses to doctors besides long waiting times. Patient seem to be their least priority. I will travel farther but never to this hospital again.

Review titled Patient-focused, kind and responsive
by Kazlet - Posted on 23 June 2023
I saw the consultant at Medway Maritime, but as I live and work in East Kent I asked for the follow-up with Orthotics to be at Kent and Canterbury. The consultant works for East Kent but was doing extra clinics at Medway to deal with the backlog. He said that should be fine, but to ring his secretary to arrange this. I rang his secretary who was super helpful. She found me on the system and said it shouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately as the consultant used Medway's referral form, I was sent an appointment for Medway Orthotics. I phoned them and they said they couldn't change it, the consultant would need to change the referral. I rang his secretary again. She was once again super helpful and said she'd print out the details so he could refer me to Kent and Canterbury and she'd phone me once it was arranged. I want to thank the consultant and his secretary. They are both great and a wonderful representation of how the NHS should be - patient-focused, kind and responsive.

Review titled Brilliant staff
by Roometobe - Posted on 23 June 2023
I would like to thank the brilliant staff in the MRI department. They both went above and beyond to help me 'find' my mother-in-law. If it was not for these brilliant people I would still be sitting in the main waiting room now! Thank you again

Review titled SAU’s Lack of care
by AG07 - Posted on 03 July 2023
I attended SAU sent up by a very caring and concerned MEDDOC doctor. I was doubled over in abdo pain and was feeling sick. This Dr came and advised that as I had been in two weeks ago (for a different condition) and everything was ok then, why am I back? I was sent away with no care or even concern! Since I have been diagnosed with cancer!

Review titled Exemplary Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 June 2023
My son attended the Children’s Emergency Department today suffering with an asthma attack and from the moment we walked into the department the care he received was amazing. They engaged with him in a way that was age appropriate, keeping him informed of everything they were doing and treated him kindness throughout. As a parent it was reassuring to see how knowledgeable and thoughtful the team were and I know if we ever found ourselves in the same situation this experience means my son would feel safe in the care of medical professionals. Thank you Medway

Review titled Amazing team
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Amanda Taylor - Posted on 05 July 2023
I was blue lighted to medway maritime hospital on the 20th June with a what turned out to be a serious infection in the blood ...I can't thank the staff enough from the paramedics, Dr's, nurses, admin staff to the cleaners and everyone in between for the care and compassion they have shown me, upon being transferred from A&E I stayed on Lister ward and once home was then under the "Smart" team and currently under "Sdec" as an out patient...All teams have been amazing not only to myself but to my family as well. Unfortunately I can't remember all the names but would like to thank each and every one of them. You are all amazing and should be commended for the work you do. Thank you xx

Review titled Waiting time of 6+ hours for ENT
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 24 June 2023
I arrived with my wife around 5pm to a&e, waited for around 15 minutes to be asked a few questions, no examination done at all, were sent to MedOcc where the waiting time was 4+ hours but we were sent to rapid review where we waited for around 30 minutes for my wife to had her temperature taken and be told we had to wait for 6+ hours to see a doctor. We pay over £700 a month for national insurance and the NHS has never been able to offer a service to me in the last 8 years, we have always had to go to private establishments to be attended. We don't want to pay national insurance anymore, it just isn't worth it. This health system is just broken, either make it all private and stop stealing my money or make it work!
