The food is horrible and not gluten free

January 23, 2024

Ward 8 staff are fine the food is horrible. I have been on the ward for the last few days. I have told them a number of times that I need gluten free food but they still get me the wrong food every time.

Parking is hard but it's easy to find my way

I've been here so many times. Parking is hard. You need to go around and around. It's easy to find places. Reception are good. The cleanliness is acceptable.

X-ray was easy

January 23, 2024

I found the x-ray unit easy. It's my first time here. I was supposed to receive a phone call today. They didn't call me. So I came to reception directly. I explained it to them and they booked me for an appointment. Yesterday I came to the A&E and they quickly sent me to the right unit.

Parking is difficult

January 23, 2024

I came here for an x-ray for my mom. It is hard to park. I came around 10:00am but my mom's appointment at 10:15am we were late for because of the parking issue. It is also hard to find wheelchairs sometimes too. My mom finds it hard to walk and gets short of breath.

Zero stars

January 22, 2024

The worst hospital I have ever been to. They did my knee replacement wrong and it had to be redone at the Royal Orthopaedic hospital. I would give them zero stars if I could.

I haven't found them very bad. I took my mom to A&E and waited for a very long time but in the end she was seen by a doctor who was very kind and helpful.
