Provided directions, seen quickly and everyone was approachable. They were really good, don’t know what else to say really.

Care is wonderful, but no information

March 3, 2023
They’re taking care of mum wonderfully, been really well. But she's got Itchy feet and legs and they’ve said they can’t cut her toenails because she's diabetic and she needs a chiropodist to do that, they’ve not organised this or signposted us to who can do this. Just no information, it’s not good.

Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback following your recent experience at Heartlands Hospital. I am so pleased to read that you felt the care your mother received was wonderful. Staff do work very hard to ensure a positive patient experience regardless of how busy their workload is.

Please speak to the matron or ward sister about signposting for support with Chiropody for your mum. If your mom is out of hospital then speak to the GP surgery about what support is available for her diabetes.
Once again, thank for your feedback.

Kindest regards, Patient Experience Team

A&E said GP shouldn't have sent me

February 20, 2023
Hospital asked me why they sent me to A&E, they said the doctor shouldn't have sent me. I just done what I was told and needed help.

Discharged - not good

February 20, 2023
Husband had a stroke and we were waiting for the follow up appointment which was over the phone. We waited for the call. It rang once I tried to answer it and the call ended. We tried to call back and get in touch but no one contacted us. Then we got a call to say we'd been discharged. It's not good.

Nice staff

February 7, 2023
They were really nice. They checked my eyes. They only had certain machines so they couldn’t do everything like making the specialised lenses I needed so they transferred me to Solihull Hospital.

Couldn't do nothing for son

February 7, 2023
My son fell down and hurt his knee. It look like it has stones in it. I took him to the hospital. They cleaned it and said there was nothing in there and then the next day his knee swelled up and there was pus in the wound. I took him back to the GP and they prescribed him antibiotics and cream for him.

Misdiagnosed

February 7, 2023
My son broke his foot. They did scans and a MRI and said there were no breaks and then sent him home on crutches. Three months later he hurt his other foot, I went back to the hospital and the doctor said that his other foot was broken but they couldn’t do anything for the foot. Now he has a lump on his foot, and the GP said they cannot do anything for him.
