Review titled Disappointing care
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 February 2024
A long standing Tunbridge Wells resident commented to me recently that patients in a dementia ward had their food placed in front of them but were not fed. She was told that the foreign nurses come from cultures where the relatives do the feeding of the patient. I wonder where is the lead nurse, who naturally should explain our English culture and expect her staff to feed patients if necessary. I daresay many such patients have no relatives who could do this. I am an ex-nurse and I am shocked. Whatever next!

Review titled AMU
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 February 2024
I have spent a week in AMU. The staff have been nothing but helpful, bending over backwards to make my stay as comfortable as possible. At night the staff are incredibly busy but have had time to make drinks, if asked, as well as providing excellent care. The nurses, doctors and nursing assistants go above and beyond. The professionalism of all staff is amazing from the doctors to the cleaners. I have had to stay in many hospitals due to ill health and long standing issues but this has been the best one by far.

Review titled Awful experience; children's A&E
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 14 November 2023
Went with my daughter on a Monday evening, sent by GP with suspected appendicitis. 7 hour wait with no feedback as to what was happening. We nearly self-discharged but were made to feel guilty so didn't. The room temperature was 26 degrees (as seen on 2 wall thermostats) and the Nurse Station had a fan pointed at it as a result. No such luck for the patients. Surely that's not healthy? There were also two staff at the Nurses Station walking around coughing into their arms all the time. People were sitting on the floor (including kids), irate, crying and sleeping (including my daughter). There were plenty of staff but don't understand why the process took 7 hours. Awful experience. We have literally been to a hospital in a 'developing country' this year and had an experience which was better by multiples. Net result is a daughter now unwilling to report adverse health symptoms as a result of not wanting to go through this again. What on earth happened here?
