Maternity is good but A&E needs improvement

Maternity

It's my local hospital and it's no good there. There are long waits. I had my son there not long ago and the maternity care was good but the A&E department could be better.

They're brilliant. The Children's A&E is amazing here. They have a dancing thing on the floor, they're amazing. I never wait very long. It's child friendly too and they get them to feel comfy.

The reason being given was that the hospital did not supply then why have I been given previously only for the staff to lose. I have been to I had a heart attack, I disputed that and then received an apology and on and on.

I had a mini stroke and was shifted from A&E by ambulance. When we arrived at A&E everything was pre-planned. I was immediately seen by the doctor and sent to cardiology immediately.

Good advice given

I rang them before going to Heartlands but because I am 27 weeks they advised me to go there. I normally go to Good Hope for scans and stuff. The maternity care has been good. I have had previous children there 2 years ago and they were very very good.
