Ideal time

Ideal coming to an appointment first thing in the morning. Hospital and waiting rooms were quiet. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Hard to find department

Struggled to find the department. When you enter the building, the sign is behind you - had to ask staff. They need better signage. Still the service was very good.
Sent up and down the hospital

Went to gynae, they sent me to the 2nd floor to have a blood test. Went up to the 2nd floor, and they sent me back to gynae saying they can't do blood tests.
Things went wrong - no support

We're waiting for an appointment to discuss what went wrong throughout my daughters pregnancy.
She wasn't diagnosed with pre eclampsia until she had an emergency C section. She also had sepsis. They said she was dialated by 9cm but she wasn't.
We have tried to complain, and not knowing how to do this, we spoke to the local GP, who requested a consultation with the midwife.
I feel they didn't treat my daughter well due to being autistic and deaf. She hasn't been given the support, so I have had to jump in to help. Staff accused my daughter of being neglectful due to not breastfeeding but she wasn't able to hear due to being deaf.

Covid restrictions in place were very good. Whole experience and information has been very good.
Parking could be better.

The journey was explained and now know where to go.
Very clean hospital - covid procedures very good.
TV channels - only had one channel
Parking is a problem - nearly was later due to no parking.

No wait

Arrived at appointment on time and was seen straight away. Other visits, more in the afternoon, I've had to wait for over an hour.
Made to wait separately from my wife

Came to the hospital to have a scan with my wife. Wasn't allowed to wait in the main waiting room. Had to wait in the canteen and wait for a phone call when I was allowed to go into the scan.
Couldn't see the point as wife and I are in the same bubble.

First thing in the morning scans don't have any waiting times. The last time we were here we waiting over an hour and the appointment was in the afternoon.
The cost of the car park can be expensive So we reckon we have spent £20 on car parking and that is just for 2 appointments. We are having baby so we can't afford that extra cost. Staff have been amazing.

Bit worried

Felt a bit worried being in the room so small for a scan, because of covid. Everyone wore masks but didn't know how clean the room is and how often.
