My 18 month old had hurt her ankle so we rush her to A+E on Tuesday at half 8 at half ten not one person had seen her so I ask and the answer I got was disgrace. I thought children at 18 months was a priority to them she was just a inconvenience. Tell me the children unit was closed and I should have came earlier. When she did it, I rushed straight to the car to hospital. How the hell was I meant to know it was closed? It was a nightmare - a disgrace, poor health care, never go here again.

I was taken in late on a Saturday evening with a possible heart attack and feared the hospital would be packed and full of aggressive drunken people. How wrong I was. The media give such a false impression of what to expect. All of the doctors and nurses who treated and dealt with me were
extremely professional, very friendly and totally caring.
It was explained to me in great detail that I would need to stay in overnight and required tests every hour. I received nothing but apologies from them for having to do this despite it was totally required.
When you are admitted in these circumstances you feel shocked, worried and very scared but I was so reassured by everybody that I spent a far more comfortable night than I could have expected.
I have nothing but praise for the staff and how I was dealt with, and at the end I did not have a heart attack and so was even happier!!.

After care for eye surgery very poor. Staff very difficult to contact, do not return phone calls. Feel like nobody cares.

Thank you so much.
I went to A+E Ain the night for eye problem

I took my son to your hospital with a suspected acute glaucoma attack at approx 3;30 am on 5th September 14, we live in Acocks Green but because I knew you have an emergency eye clinic there which I thought was a 24 hour service, we went there rather than Heartlands. Only to find when we got there that it is closed overnight, we went to A+E expecting to be as big and busy at Heartlands to find it very very small, and after my son was seen by a triage nurse we wer told it would be a 2 and a half hour wait to see a doctor as they were covering the wards as well. I dont call that an acute emergency dept, as by this time after 5 hours my sons symptoms were wearing off anyway, we decided to leave and he is going to make an emergency appointment with his optician today, he left it as long as he could before seeking medical help anyway, but there is a strong family history of Glaucoma so he is a extreme risk anyway. and was advised by NHS direct to seek medical help as soon as possible. For a large acute hospital I find your dept pathetic.
Excellent couldn't ask for better care.

From preassessment to surgery. The multidisciplinary team were amazing. I'm in fact a member of staff in theatres and understand fully how the BTC model works. Overall all I can say it makes me feel very proud to be part of the city team.
Excellent maternity care and caring staff.

I had a planned csection delivery with my second child at city hospital. Katherine Gutteridge was extremely supportive of my needs during pre op appointments. On the delivery day I could not have asked for more dedicated, supportive and caring staff. They were all extremely professional and kind despite being very stretched.
