Amazing specialist care from ENT

Ear Nose and Throat
November 15, 2020
My daughter has had two complex ENT operations both during lockdown in May and then November this year. The care has been consistently excellent. Her nursing care was very good, they communicated really well with both of us and were caring and thoughtful. Her surgeon has gone above and beyond and if he had not been for him she would have very likely had been severe complications. We are very lucky to have had such expert care. He also takes time to communicate really carefully with us as parents but also with my daughter, and has really helped her to trust doctors again after difficult experiences locally. We have travelled from Cambridge for treatment here and we would travel twice as far if needed for treatment of this quality. All the staff cannot be praised enough for continuing such high quality care in the difficult circumstances currently

Poor service, poor attitudes

Paediatrics/children services

Some really good departments the General Paediatrics are pretty poor from what we have experienced. Patents seem a very low priority.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We are sorry to learn that your experience of General Paediatrics has been less than satisfactory. This is clearly not the very high standard that the Trust strives to achieve, and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further with you. Please do contact our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) either via email on bwc.pals@nhs.net or by telephone on 0121 333 8403 if this is something you wish to pursue.
Best wishes, the Patient Experience Team.

Support for Cystic Fibrosis is very good

March 20, 2020
Referred to Forward Thinking Birmingham as they could not help with mental health issues but helped only with Cystic Fibrosis issue. Support for Cystic Fibrosis is very good. One of the psychiatrist at BCH knew about Forward Thinking Birmingham and did the referral.

Staff professional and polite

Staff professional and polite. There was a long waiting time for an appointment (6 months). Long waiting time during appointment to see everyone (9.40 now 12.30). Not enough thing to do for child in eye department, but main reception okay.
Parking difficult and expensive.

Thank you for taking the time to share your invaluable feedback of your experience at Birmingham Children's Hospital. It is great to hear that the staff have been polite and professional during your visit. It is disappointing to hear however, that you found the appointment waiting times to be long and that you found the car parking to be expensive. It is also disappointing to hear that you felt that there was a lack of play activities available in the play area. 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. Best Wishes, Patient Experience Team.

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.

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.
