Staff brilliant

Outpatients

Todays appointment delayed which is frustrating as mother has an ongoing commitment and her lad has to be back in school.
We attend 3 monthly consultations - the staff are brilliant 'when you get there'.
Transport provision complicated.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback of your experience at Birmingham Children's Hospital. It is good to hear that our staff have been brilliant with your family during your visit. It is disappointing to hear however, that the appointment waiting times were long and the transport provisions did not meet your expectations. We will share your feedback with senior management so they can look at any improvements that can be made. If you would like to share more specific details with us please contact the Patient Advise & Liaison Service (PALS team) on 0121 333 8403, or alternatively via email on bwc.pals@nhs.net.

Consulting staff - Listen carefully

Ward situation - pay attention (family interaction). In a local hospital for 2 weeks then transferred - attend regularly now every 2 to 4 weeks and making good progress.
Consulting staff - Listen carefully and take our opinion into consideration.

Happy with treatment and facilities

Outpatients

Our appointment was for 9.30 (its now 12.30). All 3 children have the same congenital autoimmune disease (very rare) so I travel on 2 buses with them to see the consultant every 3 months. I am happy with the treatment and facilities. There are plenty of play activities in reception.

Never had any problems

I have been here many times with my son and never had any problems. My son has been an inpatient and outpatient and had several operations - never had a problem with the care or treatment received.

Everything here is good. My daughter has had a heart condition from birth, she was born here. There are variable lengths of time between appointments. Travel here is easy by bus. The hospital is 'the best in Birmingham'.

Communication here 'so much better'

Outpatients
March 9, 2020
Have to travel from another area every 6 months for an appointment after being referred by our local Hospital approx 1 year ago. The communication here is so much better. There are good child interest/interaction waiting activities. The treatment is good and staff very professional. The hospital is clean and tidy, reception is good and the parking is reasonable.

Treatment and consultant are fantastic

Outpatients
March 9, 2020
My son was referred from another city 5 years ago to Birmingham by a consultant for a different condition (skin). But at Birmingham, Crohn's was diagnosed but our GP said there was nothing wrong, so it was a case of near death for our autistic boy.
Now the treatment and consultant at Birmingham are fantastic (life saver).
I don't mind waiting to see him as he is very busy (double booked).
