Very busy, long waits but helpful

Accident and emergency services

January 9, 2024

I have used the A&E once or twice. It's very busy and very over run. The staff do what they can. I got seen eventually but was a very long wait. The hospital is helpful though and that is what it's all about.

The hospital is very big and is difficult to find the department. You need to ask for directions. The service and the x-ray staff is very very good. They are very supportive and caring.

Treatment just took 5 minutes.

The A&E department took me to resus and it was marvellous. Their treatment took 5 minutes. I had a heart attack and they were very good. I am here for a nuclear medicine heart scan today (MPI) appointment was for 10:45am and waiting has been no problem or with the appointment. They are very good.

Thank you to the consultant.

My dad had an episode, a mini stroke. The doctor was really nice, looked after my dad and made sure he knew what had happened to him and in the future what he should do if he experienced anything like that again. The doctor went through all of his medicines. Thank you for the consultants support. Parking is an issue at the hospital and needs to be addressed. It is costly too.

Once seen the service was excellent

A&E made no attempt to make his pain more comfortable whilst waiting. He was seen quickly as we waited less than an hour. Once seen the service was excellent.

Everyone has been good

December 19, 2023

Antenatal have been absolutely fine. I recently moved and the midwives have been great. They answer any questions that I have. the old midwives used to make me feel daft asking questions but they have been great. I got a phone call yesterday to remind me of any jabs that I needed. Everyone I have spoken to has been good.

Good communication

December 19, 2023

The hospital antenatal is fine. Communication is good. They have sent letters and then text reminders about appointments. It has all been okay so far time wise, had a scan, urine sample and bloods taken. I am just waiting for a report.

Antenatal has been quite smooth and quicker than I thought. I had a scan and bloods and all was quick. They send me letters about appointments and send letters. Up until now everything has been alright.
