Review titled First Class Treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by James Jones - Posted on 22 May 2024
I attended A&E with my son last night after having been advised after having rung 111 due to my experiencing a severe panic attack was seen by a triage nurse after having to wait for 20 minutes. The nurse asked some questions, did a couple of tests and made a phone call. She was very kind and helpful. She advised me that I could either wait for 6 hours to see a doctor or make an appointment for today. Just before we left the nurses phone rang and she advised us that a doctor could see us right away in ED. The doctor who saw me was the most kind, reassuring, professional and unhurried doctor it has been my good fortune to have met in the NHS. I am so gratefull to her and all the staff at RBH last night. Thank you so much. May 21, 21:00.

Review titled Disappointed with the attitude of some of the staff
Rated 1 star out of 5

I went for breast cancer surgery for the second time in one year, it was perfect on April 2023, sadly things have got bad just in a few months. It is so disorganised that they even forgot to send the letters with new appointments, on the day of the surgery I was waiting for 8 hours and I had nothing to eat for 24 hours, the attitude of the doctor was not sympathetic at all, I had lots of problems with the discharge process, total confusion, very rude staff, specially the woman carrying patients on a wheelchair, the refusal from the doctors to give me any pain killers to take home even when I was in pain and I live on my own. When I had breast cancer surgery a year ago I was given some strong painkillers to take home with a chart to write the times that I had to take the medication. Sadly it has been a total disaster this time, no sympathy at all from the staff. So disappointed and sad, I am trying to buy some strong painkillers online because the pain is unbearable and this time the doctors refused to give anything. I wish that it would have been as positive as it was 12 months ago.

Review titled Super appointment
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I came for an ultrasound scan, I felt nervous about what was going to happen. I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. The doctor and all nurses were welcoming, kind and immediately put me at ease. Every step was explained. All staff were extremely supportive and professional. Thank you so much, it made a scary experience really positive.

The wonderful nurse who booked my mum in to the Sandbourne Surgery ward was so lovely to her before her complex hip surgery. Her surgeon and anesthesiologist treated her with so much kindness. Everyone today was lovely and helped us relax. Thank you.

Review titled Not good
Rated 1 star out of 5

My Dad was let down badly by HDU. How can the NHS be made better if only good experiences are taken into account? My review is it about the NHS which is a fantastic service but this hospital is horrible

I have just had an overnight stay in the Acute medical unit and I was really impressed with the care of each member of the team . Especially the agency grade 6 that was running the unit .he could not do enough for his patients and went way above expectations to ensure each individual was treated with respect and felt valued. Thank you

Review titled Brilliant, thorough, professional
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Audrey Smith - Posted on 08 February 2024
My elderly mother 90+years young attended A&E following a fall. Despite a lengthy wait, (not the fault of the Staff) the care she eventually received was excellent and very thorough. All the staff we came into contact with worked with total dedication when operating under the unrelenting pressure of a very busy department, never failing to treat my Mother with consideration and friendliness. Thank you.
