Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham

My first experience as a NHS inpatient was when I reached the age of 84 years. When in January 2024 I was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. I was told that I had a "Severe Kidney Diseases" This was the first time I had required medical attention and I could not have been treated with more kindness and understanding than I had from my doctor and his team.
This kindness and understanding was extended and shared with my wife and two daughters who took my health problem seriously and had lots of questions for my medical team to answer. Which they did with patience and care. I am still attending the Kings Norton Dialysis Unit where the medical team is still lead by my doctor. The care and kindness that I receive could not be improved upon. My families care and concern for me is ever present with their many questions which the medical team never tire of and always answer with patience and understanding.
I have expressed my gratitude in writing to the Chief Executive officer at the QEHB with copies to my MP. I do sincerely hope that you will forward my sincere thanks and gratitude to the doctor and his teams at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham and his team at the Kings Norton Dialysis Unit.

It is disgusting that I can't get hospital transport we don't have a bus and a taxi is £34 return.

I go to Nuffield House for regular diabetic check ups every 6 months. the consultant always listens to my concerns and answers all of my questions.

I had a hernia operation and was booked in to the day care unit but had to stay overnight. The staff were nice and helpful.

I had a cold and tummy problems and went to A&E they did ECG and some other checks. I was there for 10 hours. I received good care and treatment

I had my hernia operation over there. The skills of the surgeon were great but I had to stay in hospital for 10 days and the food was horrible.

I regularly go to the shoulder clinic for reviews and medication. The staff are very helpful and well informed.

I was referred to ENT by my GP. I was seen within a month by a consultant at the QE who started treatment straight away.

I have very high cholesterol and was referred to cardiology for treatment. I was seen by a consultant very quickly and they started the treatment straight away.

My husband went in with a broken finger and was seen straight away. They provided excellent care and support.
