Made her comfortable over the last 11 years.

We have been coming here for the last 11 years and our experience has been excellent. My daughter has a rare condition and the support provided in the last 11 years has made things comfortable and manageable for her.

Decided to go private

October 17, 2023
My daughter has severe autism and has been holding in urine for a year which causes her severe pain. We take her sometimes weekly but doctors don't know what is going on with her. It's so horrible to see so now we've decided to go private as they have tried to help but can't find what is wrong with her.

Long waits and no snacks available.

October 17, 2023
there was a 3.5 hour wait at the Children's A&E. There's no vending machines for the child or parent. More importantly there are no snacks. Juice is supplied but a trolley service would be good even if you had to pay. You don't want to miss being called to go and get food.

Delays in results and care.

October 16, 2023
I use the hospital for my child who has epilepsy. Its is a new medical condition diagnosed within the last 2 years. They were admitted to A&E then hospital admission for follow up care. I am constantly having to chase results and appointments. MRI results from the May examination were only given back in October. There are delays in care and the care plan. The medical attention received was good.

Good experience

October 10, 2023
Long time coming here. Good experience. My daughter had COVID and was admitted here and now she has problems with her tonsils, so now we're here today for ENT. Staff are good. This appointment has come too late though as she's had issues 3/4 times and I call and they take a long time.
