Good Hope Hospital

My skin was burning due to eczema and I went to A&E. The nurse told me I couldn't come to A&E for eczema. I didn't even get chance to see a doctor even though it was painful and bleeding.

The counter at A&E is above and as a wheelchair user I feel totally disenfranchised and almost feels like if they can't see you then they don't want to deal with you. They don't talk to you properly and it's not accessible. We feel like objects on a conveyor belt rather than people.

I was referred under the fast track system to Good Hope Hospital for investigations into secondary cancer. I found it hard to find my way around the hospital during my first visit and parking could be very difficult which made visits stressful. I had a procedure to remove growths, and what was written in my discharge note/records was not communicated to me verbally at the time, which was disappointing but overall I was very happy with the care and treatment I received at Good Hope Hospital.

I arrived at AMU with a letter and they helped me out. Just waiting around but they are good and have been good. Just waiting to see what they're going to do with me.

The pharmacy were quick, they're okay.

I have been at A&E since early hours this morning, about 8 hours. They have been okay but it's such a long waiting process.

Good, they saved my life and the care has been excellent. They don't take breaks ever. They have been amazing.

Ward 14 has been amazing. They got me into bed and they do regular checks. They said they would get me support for alcohol abuse. I haven't once been judged. So amazing and they've been here through everything.

A&E gave me flucloxacillin and amoxicillin for infection and advised me to take both of them. I didn't realise that you could be on two lots of antibiotics at the same time.

I recently attended an outpatients appointment at Good Hope Hospital. They provide a very good service and I was happy with the care I received. It was a bit far to travel but I would not make a fuss and/or request a closer hospital because to be honest I am just glad that I was seen quickly.
