Waiting times in A&E are a nightmare.

May 24, 2023
The waiting times in A&E are a nightmare, I was there all day. I had to have an x-ray as my leg was swollen up at the time. I went from one place and was sent to another. They didn't say what it was, they couldn't.

Had a heart attack and I now go for regular check ups there. It's not far from me and easy to get around the hospital. The last time I went, I was seen on time.

Almost perfect care

May 23, 2023
Admitted to heartlands with croup and was in hospital for 8 days. Almost perfect care. Ended up in kids A&E. First time 30 – 45 minutes and the second time we waited down stairs, come on 3rd visit and then admitted him. Care was good and clean hospital.

Ward 28 was brilliant

May 23, 2023
80 days so far really good. Ward 28 was brilliant and staff really good. The only thing is it’s very expensive for TV, put money on for 24 hours and only get 18 hours. As a long term patient you need it for your mental health. I was immobile so needed it. Its misleading and false advertisement. Feel taken advantage of, It’s free view channels. Nothing has changed was here 5 years ago. It’s not fair people spend all there money on TV card. It’s free in other places.

It bring back bad memories

May 22, 2023
Don’t like heartlands. I had pacer done in there. So it bring back bad memories. Don’t like the treatment, they don’t listen to your problems, they want you to go in and out, they don’t care really.
