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. 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

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.

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.

Never had any problems

I have been here many times with my son and never had any problems. My son has been an inpatient and outpatient and had several operations - never had a problem with the care or treatment received.
