I had a good experience with the assessment but I had a terrible midwife.
I was not listened to

Uterus rupture due to poor patient care resulting in disabled child. I was not listened to and it was not recognised that I was experiencing a rupture despite me telling staff and it being in my records I was at risk. Emergency section should have been carried out much earlier.

Gynae dept. Good service at first but then it became diabolical. I was neglected for over 2yrs. Left on an injection without monitoring which caused osteoporosis, supposed to be sent to a specialist team in London but nothing has came of it. They never return calls when voicemails are left, an open complaint took almost a year to deal with, again I was repeatedly ignored when I tried to get in touch about it and I was forced to contact the CCG to get the hospital to reply, nothing came of the complaint and meeting we had there, the consultant sat on his phone throughout it. I don’t feel I was listened too and again I’ve not been seen for the past 2years since. I’ve had to go through my bowel consultants at the QE to get seen at the Women’s oasis clinic again urgently.

Still waiting for treatment for stage 4 endometriosis or even a decision
Excellent clinical staff, admin terrible
Maternity

I am having antenatal care the Birmingham Womens Hospital, and would say all the doctors, nurses, midwives and other clinical staff including radiology have all been excellent. They are friendly, knowledgeable and made me feel safe and supported throughout. The administration however is terrible, and really lets the service down. For my 20 week scan I received notice on a Friday that my scan appointment was on the following Monday (i.e. less than 1 working days notice to be able to tell me employer I needed time off). I have found them very unhelpful when I called up to chase the appointment booking and this has happened for multiple scan appointments. The appointments have gone ahead, and as I mentioned above, all the clinical staff are great, and I'm overall happy with their care, but the frustration and stress that the poor admin adds to the experience does make me mark the service down.
Invasive procedure which was extremely painful

Whilst the consultation was really friendly and professional the procedure I had was absolutely painful
I was not offered adequate pain relief before procedure even though I informed team of what I normally had

Tried to discharge me with no feedback on surgery or what actually happened or next steps. Most staff super lovely but legit concerns about how it has got a BGSE status where you rarely get to speak to anyone that understands the basics of endometriosis. Lied to about the speciality of my surgeon when it really mattered. Would have been told nothing at all about next steps if I hadn't had to ask several times. Waste of time and pain.
