Culture of covering up poor care/service
Gynaecology
November 23, 2023
Have not had an admission date for surgery since pre-op. Seems impossible to get through to admissions in 6 months of trying. PALS is useless, insults patients and covers up for admissions, as does the medical secretary. Formal complaint has been lodged. I'm left feeling very concerned/scared about actually having surgery in BWH and feel bullied by the people I've referred to.
Clinics run on time and the staff are helpful.

I go there regularly for check ups and screening for cervical cancer. The staff are very helpful and clinics run on time with appointments given in advance. Good communication through letters and emails.
The don't read patient notes or reports.

They are good. Really nice midwives. They make me feel really reassured and calm. the doctor made me feel like that too. I felt anxious coming in. I am with one doctor but I don't always see the same doctor. They ask me the same questions and don't read reports and notes so I have to explain each time. there is no continuity of care.
A friendly environment.

It's been great here. Appointments don't take too long. They are timely. I have been here for only 12 weeks and it is a friendly environment. It doesn't seem like anything is too much to ask for.
No appointment until 20 weeks pregnant.

It's not too bad. Could be better. I have had my second appointment here at 25 weeks. My daughter was born 10 weeks early and they still haven't seen me until now. My first scan was at 20 weeks. I had no previous appointments and no communication. I would have thought they would keep a closer eye on me.
Good communication with staff.

It's been okay. I have high risk pregnancies so I am monitored quite closely which is nice. I get letters and everything logged onto the app which is good. Good communication with staff.
Very good as always

Very very good as always. I've been quite a few times, less now because they have sorted the problem but they have given me reassurance that if I have any problems then I'm still on the books and I can call.
Nurse answered all of my questions.

Both of my son's were born here and I received excellent support, care and help. The midwives, nurses and doctors are all amazing.
