Didn't explain my diagnosis.

October 2, 2023
A&E doctor was amazing. He explained what was wrong and what the prognosis and treatment options were likely to be. But the Inpatient went quite well apart from when the doctor decided to not tell me what the diagnosis was so decided to talk to the students rather than me. I had to get the vulnerability team down just to get answers as to what was wrong with me.

I was really impressed.

September 28, 2023
Very efficient. They explained the process and what they'll be doing and why they are doing it. A&E waiting times said 3 hours. I didn't wait as long. They were really good. I was really impressed.

Waiting times are awful and rude staff.

September 28, 2023
A&E is even worse there. Waiting times, actual rudeness of staff. I understand they're understaffed but people should be treated how they want to be treated. I go quite frequently for my kidney's and the staff are good.

13 hours waiting

September 26, 2023
My mom had a fall in the night and we waited 13 hours in a chair at A&E. She is riddled with arthritis and she's had a stroke. They said they'd book her in for a CT scan after 13 hours but said they didn't know how long it would be so I have ended up leaving. A month later I had a letter from orthopaedics and said she'd had a break and they put it in a cast a month later. Toilet facilities are dirty and there are no drinks, nothing.

Wasn't listened to.

September 26, 2023
Awful midwife on the maternity ward. She was really rude. She didn't listen to me and basically said I was lying. She didn't do the checks on baby thoroughly. I felt like I was not listened to and left. Really awful service.

Good service but the food is horrible.

September 26, 2023
I had pneumonia and ended up in intensive care. The service was good. I didn't like the food it was horrible. Hospital was good though. Nurses were nice. But I had no sleep as I found staff were loud at night. Apart from that everything was alright. They have helped me sort out a support worker and got me some support for my mental health as I was feeling suicidal. They have put me back in touch with them.
