Hospital was brilliant

Outpatients
March 9, 2020
Been quite a few times with my 2 grandchildren. One has kidney problems, leaking fluid - Hospital was brilliant, no problems at all apart from waiting 7 hours to be admitted on the first occasion I attended.
My other grandchild has been 3 times with hearing problems - again great service and care from all staff. They have a good system, I come in, take a ticket and wait to be called which is no problem as we expect to wait for a while.

Really good service - I've been a few times before - I have two children under their care and never had any issues - although parking could be better.

I have gone from dissatisfied with BCH to very satisfied, now my son is getting the required help which should have happened much earlier. Respiratory dept is fantastic. My son’s quality of life has improved. Physio therapy team is brilliant doing a great job.

Lack of diagnosis

Son has been coming since eight weeks old to see lung function doctor. Had same doctor for years who didn’t believe there was an issue. Felt bulled down to. The issue got picked up by a different doctor when son was three years old. Should have picked up much earlier if other doctor had listened, run tests & not been so dismissive.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback of your experience at Birmingham Children's Hospital. We are saddened to hear that you were not happy with the level of care for your son to begin with when he was first seen by lunch function and respiratory by a particular consultant as you felt that you were not listened to. However, we are pleased to hear that another consultant has now identified the issue and that the level of care has improved. We would like to encourage you to contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) to further discuss any concerns you have as the team would be happy to help and try and resolve an issues you have with your sons care.

Great hospital, friendly staff.

Great hospital, friendly staff. Parking not the best and can be quite pricey depending how long your stay is. Could be more activities for kids during waiting to be seen as this can be quite long for the kids and get very impatient.

Good experience. Long waiting times. Need more places to get a snack. Just having vending machines is not enough.
