Review titled Impressive
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mr. L - Posted on 06 September 2024
There are so many exemplary words I could use to describe the Rheumatology Team that are looking after my care, they have showed concerns, provided tremendous aftercare, being informative throughout. One word I will use is meritorious. Thank you, you are all doing a great job.

I attended the admissions lounge to have my gallbladder removed. i was told at all stages what was happening and they made what could have been a very scary process feel OK All the staff were professional, reassuring and kind.

Review titled Fantastic service and care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Simon Jackson - Posted on 29 July 2024
My son dislocated his shoulder playing football. He was in great pain. The service provided was extremely quick; it was hugely effective . The consultant in charge was excellent in all aspects. He acted with compassion and humour and dealt along with his first class team with the problem at hand in an utmost professional manner. I couldn’t rate the service any higher.

Review titled Great care
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I had hernia operation and was supposed to be discharged after. However I had complications and had to stay an extra 2 days in the David Beever day care ward. The staff were excelent and kept me informed of everything that was happening. They treated me well and with respect at all times.

Review titled Thanks to the "back room staff' in respiratory medicine
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Simon Rose - Posted on 14 May 2024
Simply wanted to acknowledge and thank the staff involved in rescheduling a telephone consultation for. me. My incoming call was picked up almost instantly, the staff member went off to check with a clinician and promised to call me back. Within 3-4 minutes the call arrived and the problem solved. This may seem small fry when compared to life threatening surgery, but it was hugely appreciated. The Leeds Trust set an example that other major hospitals should learn from. I write as someone who has being unable to contact anyone medical or administrative by phone or text, on a ward at University College Hospital London for the past 24 hours. And I regret to say this is their shameful 'standard'. So thanks to all at St James and Leeds General Infirmary.

Review titled Omission of Signage in Online Appointment Notifications
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 May 2024
I am pleased with the paper less invitation to attend clinics but the lack of signage is a significant cause of distress, anxiety and panic, especially for patients attending when other reception areas are not manned. My experience to locate the Breast Clinic was a nightmare this morning. Kindly help l.Thanks.

My mother has been cared for in Ward j31 of the Becket Wing. All the staff were very caring and patient in difficult circumstances. Their professionalism was outstanding.

Review titled You saved my life - what else matters?
by Alan Noel Perkins - Posted on 26 March 2024
I almost collapsed in reception, could not breathe and honestly believed I was not going to make it. Thankfully, the lady receptionist on admissions leapt into action and got me straight through to the team before making my wife fill out my details. It may only be another day at the office to you guys, but the care and professional treatment I received could not have been bettered. With your help and the aid of nebulisers etc, you brought me back, when both myself and my wife genuinely believed this was a major problem. I suffer from Copd and Asthma, I also have other health problems ‘so it could have been reality, that I could easily have died. I had never before experienced Copd problems so acute as I was a bit naïve about the condition. I have to thank you all again for your help, After 4 days, I am now back home. I also want to thank those patients who had to wait even longer to see the team (after waiting who knows how long), just for me to jump the queue. I heard nobody complain, which I would have expected, and I hope they all got seen very soon after and I feel sure that they will have received the same magnificent care that I had. One final point I would make is how appalled I was, when on the ward, I heard so much verbal and racist abuse from other patients who were shouting, swearing and carrying on at the very people who were trying to help them. In two cases it was simply because they didn’t get a nicarette spray! One man in particular who was being aggressive over such trivial matters was so bad, myself and other ward members were suggesting security remove him from the hospital grounds, but the staff just got on with it and continued to give him the best care and attention. That is dedication! People have to realise, this is a teaching hospital and many of the staff are only weeks or months into a job, and many come from other countries (thankfully) and often struggle to be understood, but they are still doing everything they can to help the very people who look down on them and abuse them. Thank you all so much in A&E, Wards J27 and 84 at St James. To me, you are all legends!

I was in for thyroid surgery and I could not fault the team of doctors, nurses, porters, receptionist. They were all so caring and lovely. Thank you for all your help and support whilst I was there. You all are amazing 👍👏
