  1. Review titled Excellent care at RSH

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Lindsay C - Posted on 17 September 2024

    I was taken by ambulance to Shrewsbury Hospital with chest pains. Arrived at Accident & Emergency, was treated promptly, all tests were undertaken without delay and staff were all fantastic. Had to stay for observation and to see a Cardiologist, was moved to ward 35. Again, all staff were efficient and caring. Food choices were good and quality was excellent. Well done Royal Shrewsbury Hospital! I ❤️ The Nhs 😊

  2. Review titled Personal and pleasant

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 13 September 2024

    I attended an appt in the treatment centre today with my 6 year old grandson who has broken his arm. He is a tricky little character so I had come along to support my daughter. From the minute we entered the site I was impressed. There is obvious building work going on and the very first thing we see is a lollipop person helping people cross the road.. how helpful! On entering the treatment centre we were greeted by someone who showed us where to go…again, how lovely. We arrived at the fracture clinic and the person on reception was polite and efficient. We sat down for barely a minute or two and we were called in to a cubicle area. The person showed us the x rays and explained in language that my grandson understood, exactly what had happened and reassured us that it would heal quickly. Within minutes we were in the plaster room and greeted by the most amazing person which put my grandson at ease immediately with jokes and general larking around. It really was a fun experience for him and us too. Even after the cast was on and we’d left the room (waiting to make an appt at reception) the person was engaging with my grandson through the glass in the door. What a great experience for him. The person on reception was also very pleasant again and engaged with my grandson …well done the whole team!

  3. Review titled Amazing staff

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by ANDREW SEMPLE - Posted on 14 August 2024

    Last night I went to A & E at 1am, I have over the last twelve months visited A & E with catheter problems. Usually when I arrive I have been in at least some discomfort often worse last night was no exception. The staff in accident and emergency just seem to get their heads down and get stuck in always cheerful and supportive always under pressure with ever more "customers" waiting. The level of attention has always been top notch and the care given has been of the best. I can say that I have always had every reason to be grateful for the skill they have all shown. Yes sometimes the wait is longer than one would like but being busy means just that. I think we are lucky to have such dedicated people working for us at a time of great need. Thank you

  4. Review titled Excellence of care

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Andy Stock - Posted on 27 August 2024

    On sunday whilst trying to return home, I was in severe pain due to urinary retention. We decided to attend shrewsbury hospital a&e dept as the pain was increasing. on arrival, I was met with kindness, professionalism and compassion by each and every staff member from the receptionist, triage nurse, doctor, nurse specialist, a&e consultant, urology consultant and domestic technician. We eventually left some 6 hrs later to return home to the midlands, but not before the latter gentleman bought my wife a pack of sandwiches, crisps and biscuits saying " you can't drive home with nothing to eat!" and refusing any payment !!! I assured all the staff that I would send a commendation to the Chief Executive and Board members to highlight the above. I would also simply ask that this commendation is communicated to the staff of the a&e department of the hospital to encourage them, from a very grateful patient. m. a stock.

  5. Review titled First class care and treatment

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Owen O'Brien - Posted on 15 August 2024

    Due to concerns of risk of stroke I presented at A & E in Aug 2024. I was attended to immediately and over my four day stay at the hospital I was repeatedly impressed by the staff providing care at all levels including cleaning, catering, assistants, nurses, doctors, administrators and consultants. Without exception I was attended to without delay, all staff were courteous, patient, friendly, diligent, professional, caring and supportive despite their obvious heavy workload. I am extremely satisfied with the service and care I received and wish to extend my sincere thanks to all involved.

  6. Review titled 4 hours and counting

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by TRACEY PRINCE - Posted on 06 June 2024

    Been sitting here in A&E now after bring sent by 111 and we are 4 hours and counting. So far have seen a triage nurse 3.45 hours ago. Asked several times what the wait time is or even when we are likely to get seen to just be told' we are busy. However, I'm not disputing that the dept is busy but the absolute lack of information or updates is appalling. Why can't NHS at least post some time of wait possible. Royal Shrewsbury is no busier than any other NHS hospital and yet they manage to give updates.

    I have recently attended the Breast Clinic and would like to thanks the department for the quality of service I received and the professionalism and thoroughness of the staff. I have been under the Breast Care team for four years and have nothing but praise for them. This is a quality service that the NHS can be extremely proud of. Thank you all for the care, compassion and dedication you have shown me during my illness, recuperation and ongoing care. You are literally life savers.

  10. Review titled Nightmare to get hold of

    by Debbie - Posted on 16 April 2024

    My daughter had a seizure in December 23, her 1st seizure in 15 years. She was put on medication for Epilepsy and since starting it she can not sleep. Trying to get hold of anyone to get some help as her mental health worsens due to no sleep is a nightmare. I lost my sister to SUDEP and this is causing a lot of upset for my daughter and wider family and there is no empathy care or support. Really disappointed and frustrated with it all :(. If you have the option go somewhere else.
