Hemotology need more staff

June 5, 2023
I've been waiting 12 months for a gastroenterology appointment. It's too warm in the blood department today, they need a bigger blood department and a system that works well. Hematology should have more staff. The hospital needs a proper cafe, they need to bring things back. I've been waiting a while for bloods, came in just before 10am and I'm still waiting at 10:50am.

Doctor forgot about us

Accident and emergency services
June 1, 2023
Ended up at A&E. Doctor didn’t want to know what we had to say. Doctor forgot about us, nurse had to remind doctor about my son. Was there for around 6 hours. 3 hours of that was waiting for consultant. They don’t rush themselves.

They have always been good, never had any issues. Can sometimes wait a while for bloods but never had any issues really. Staff are always nice and it’s free parking. Can’t ask for more.
