Review titled Excellent care from the team at SDEC
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Dorothy Parsons - Posted on 13 October 2024
I had to go to SDEC on 12 October for blook transfusion and iro infusion. The care and professionalism of all the team (beginning with Reception) could not be faulted. I was made to feel very comfortable and unworried during my whole visit. The nursing staff and doctors were exceptional and the whole department had a friendly, warm atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you to everyone involved.

Review titled Waited for 12 hours plus in James cook A&E
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 October 2024
Elderly male 94 years of age brought in by ambulance at 5pm on Monday evening, made to wait in the corridor for 6+ hours without triage on a stretcher, no bloods were taken, no request for scans or X-rays following a fall with a long lie. Waited until 4am, still no bloods, no doctor allocated to case, no pain medication offered or given. Staff had no empathy for the fact he had been waiting 12+ hours without a plan, in the absence of bloods or scans. Absolutely appalling. This is our so called nhs failing our most vulnerable, geriatric patients. And I happened to witness all this as a fellow healthcare professional before my very own eyes. Still waiting, no plan, now told have to wait another 2 hours for bloods to come back.

Review titled Very disappointed
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Hannah - Posted on 27 September 2024
Ended up in here Tuesday 24/09/2024 with infection and gallbladder issues. Been here multiple times and understand the wait times and the pressure the NHS is under. Very annoyed I can’t name the Dr and nurse who treat me appallingly. It’s was a miserable experience lead by two staff members who clearly believed patients should struggle/ suffer. Not an experience I’ve had here before.

Review titled Excellent care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lucy Bryant - Posted on 07 August 2024
From the second we entered the maternity ward for the first part of our induction of labour on 2.8.24 to leaving on 7.8.24 our care has been second to none. Each midwife, student, health care professional, maternity specialist, doctor, anaesthetist and member of the kitchen team has blown us blown us away with not only their excellent level of care but also their professionalism, kindness, knowledge and bedside manner. As a nervous couple bringing their first baby into the world we simply could not have asked for anything better from a medical department. The midwives and people we have met have cared for and supported us in such a way that I truly believe our baby and myself could not have had a better start to our journey into parenthood. Just when we thought that a midwife couldn’t get any better there would be a shift change and a new member of the team would arrive and continue the same excellent level of care, answering every question and supporting in anyway they could. The service they provided felt as though they all had a desire to go above and beyond to ensure that we were looked after. Well beyond anything we could have hoped to expect. Particularly during my labour I felt so safe in the knowledge that I couldn’t possibly have a better team of people around me and whatever I had needed they would have been able to act on this quickly and safely. Every detail and check was done meticulously to ensure our safety and wellbeing from the moment we entered the building. The staff in this department are a credit to this hospital and our local area and I feel fortunate to have experienced this time under their care. Having being fortunate enough to have not needed to use hospital services throughout my life I was quite nervous about being a ‘patient’ for the first time but I didn’t need to be and I feel so fortunate to each member of the NHS who has played even a small part in my experience. Absolutely excellent. Thank you to the James Cook services.

Having recently had a need to attend the endoscopy and astrology department, I have nothing but praise and thanks for the staff. Professional, comforting, supportive. It’s ( almost!) a joy to attend! Thanks all.

Review titled Great Patient Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Johnathon - Posted on 29 August 2024
Visited endoscopy for a clinic, the reception team and pre-appointment interaction was really caring and positive. The doctor was amazing, from meeting him he seemed to care and wanted to source a solution to the issues I have been having. Most doctors seem to be going through the motions and to be honest you can sympathise. He talked me through his thought processes and this helped me understand what was to come. Bloods taken, samples sought, further tests booked and endoscopy follow up sorted the following week. When I went in for my colonoscopy the following week again from start to finish I was made comfortable. The team delivered first class care and what could have been an anxious process and I was streamline and efficient. Thank you to the endoscopy department keep up the amazing work.
