Poor communication, long waits.

February 7, 2024
Long waits all of the time. Poor communication between the GP and consultant. Reception staff are very rude and unhelpful.

Quality of care isn't as good

February 7, 2024
I must have visited this hospital 70 times in the last 20 years. I think over the years the quality of care has gone down.

Forced my husbands discharge

February 7, 2024
My husband had too high calcium when he had cancer. They reversed the calcium. The administration staff were forceful at getting him discharged. They don't give you a dedicated cancer nurse. It was several people and not like how they advertise on the TV.

Very long wait when you're not feeling well

February 7, 2024
It was a long wait. 12 hours for normal waiting times. The care was good but they have to prioritise people who are more ill. They eventually saw me at 1:30am then I was sent home the next day. Very long wait when you're not feeling well.

Seen quickly and very thorough

February 7, 2024
I was sent here from the walk in centre for further tests as they weren't sure what was wrong. They gave me a wristband and did some tests and I was seen really quickly. They were very thorough and arranged a follow up scan here today.

I couldn't stay with my premature baby

February 7, 2024
My 1 year old son was born premature at 7 months. I had him and was discharged the next day. My son was there for 22 days and they didn't offer me a bed to stay with my baby. I just wanted to be with him and they refused. The midwife who helped me give birth was very nice and so were the staff. It was just very hard visiting the hospital and expressing everyday whilst not being with my baby.
