Very satisfied and happy

February 11, 2020
Very satisfied and happy from high level of service received. Only suggestion is to have a free water fountain at or close to main reception area. Also free Wi-Fi for visitors will help in passing long wait before appointments more productive and useful for some.

Most of the time telephone line is busy

They need to improve their appointment allocation system. Most of the time telephone line is busy even if you get through operator have no or little knowledge of issues. Better trained and professional team is needed for managing appointment system.

I think they are short of staff at all levels

February 10, 2020
We came to triage at 10 am and still waiting to be seen it’s 1:30 pm, My wife is in pain but no doctor available, no information provided by reception staff. I think they are short of staff at all levels.

approach of clinical staff is very insensitive

Gynaecology
January 21, 2020
I have been a service user for many years under gynaecology. I feel the mannerism and approach of clinical staff is very insensitive. Having an illness which is of a very sensitive nature, the approach and listening skills of consultants and lead nursing staff are appalling. I have had several operations. On two occasions the operations that I was booked for, the consultants were not even aware of what surgery I was there for. Suffering from incontinence and having lost all confidence I just got passed from consultant to consultant and got spoken to quite rudely.

Patient care is good

January 21, 2020
Patient care is good. Sometimes things can take time in the outpatients department and so as a patient you must allocate extra time for your appointment. That aside the staff are delivering the highest level of care they are able to given the resources and time available. A greater increase in funding from central government would improve services across the trust.
