Good Hope Hospital

Lost weight and stopped eating. He was taken in on the Monday and died on the Thursday. They were wonderful people, wonderful nurses and we were able to be there as a family with him. They were so good to him and us.

My wife is having chemo at the cancer unit. We have been given a number to call if there are problems. It just rings out no answer phone or anything. It is truly useless and adds to stress of treatment.

A&E are alright, not too bad. Waited 12 hours. The treatment was okay and they listened and were helpful. They told me to contact the mental health team if I needed further help.

I get steroid injections here. Very good and responsive.

Had to wait a long time at A&E. They did a blood test and sorted me some medication.

I went last week for an appointment for my knee. They were very good but I don't know how long I will have to wait for the operation. They send letters over the web but I'm no good with that.

I was referred here for fast track investigations relating to my cancer and they were wonderful.

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.
