Please accept our apologies for the delay in responding, and thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We are sorry that you had a protracted wait for blood tests in January, we can appreciate this must have been very frustrating. The Phlebotomy team, along with the wider Trust, are always looking at ways to improve the patient experience, and your feedback will help the team improve the service in future. Best wishes, Patient Experience Team.

Kind and helpful staff

December 16, 2019
At most of dermatologist appointments we have to wait a long time and even when seen, It seems we are rushed due to number of people to be seen.
The eye clinic is always very busy and takes over two hours. Even the initial time to be seen is a long wait.
The staff are very kind and helpful, hence the 5 star rating.

My son has been under the care of Birmingham Children’s Hospital since he was born – 17 years ago.
The service has always been excellent - whether as an outpatient, on a ward, or in oncology.
The doctors and nurses are always very caring and nurturing and willing to take on any concerns, worries or queries raised by parents.
All receptionists / call handlers and admin staff I have dealt with have been equally as excellent in all aspects.

Very pleased with the way they deal with their patients. Only thing that they didn't keep to was the follow up appointment after my son was admitted to hospital. He should have been seen three weeks later but the appointment was two months after. The facilities are very good.
