The best hospital.

The best hospital and staff. I had my daughter there a year ago and they took such good care of us. Even before the birth they were really really good.

Care was excellent, the waiting time wasn't.

February 19, 2024
I waited a whole year for an operation on my knee after an accident. I would call and they would say I was on the waiting list and they they would get in contact soon. I had to have my knee in a brace and when I had my operation struggle for over a year. The care when I had my operation was excellent however. It's just unacceptable waiting list times for an operation.

I waited for 4 hours. I got a very poor response. I decided to leave after 4 hours in A&E without having any treatment.

Failings every day on different departments.

Accident and emergency services
February 12, 2024
My brother has been in Good Hope for just over 3 weeks. He's been to a number if wards and each day there is failings. Reported to Pals who got me to speak to a Consultant who said my main issue was the nursing staff. I said yes. The most disgusting thing is when a nurse wearing no gloves moved my brothers pee bottle in the sink with no gloves on. She got dry paper towels and wiped the spillage around the table. Then threw away the paper towels and went straight back onto the keyboard. Another nurse came in got paper towels to wipe the floor with just water from the tap. This nurse did wash her hands afterwards. The Consultant couldn't believe all I was saying. He advised he would pass onto the nursing staff. Who will all be spoken to about the failings. Hoping something will be done. He couldn't believe that I was told that nurses don't pick up what they drop as it's not in their job description. Fingers crossed for future visits. They have just moved my brother to another ward.

Staff are brilliant and the hospital is clean

I went to A&E a few weeks ago with a bad chest. They were ever so slow but it was very busy. They kept an eye on me and were very nice. It just takes such a long time to be seen. Staff are brilliant, It is clean there too as clean as a hospital can be.
