Referral taken over a year

May 5, 2023
The referral for an appointment has taken over a year. I've come today for bloods where I was referred from my GP.

Loong wait but treatment was fine

May 5, 2023
I was referred to A&E at the hospital 3 weeks ago. I was in A&E for 6 hours and ended up needing in house treatment. I was sat in a chair/trolley for a total or 36 hours, though I was fed and watered. I ended up staying in the hospital for 4/5 days and the treatment was fine, it was just the initial wait time. Also the ward I was on closed due to covid.

4 week referral, not too bad

May 4, 2023
I was referred to the respiratory team and the referral took 4 weeks which was not too bad. I saw rheumatology originally and was on an 18 month program.

Good communication - helped me so much

May 4, 2023
Come in every 3 months so it's not too bad. I've been to dermatology and now for blood tests. I'm on injections and they're well organised with home deliveries of my medication and then follow up calls to see how I'm getting on with taking the injections. It's just really good and they've helped me so much.

Need to be more efficient

May 4, 2023
I had my first appointment with the surgical department today but have visited the hospital multiple times since 2004. I'm in so much pain and I don't know what to do. I feel the hospital could be more efficient. The GP referred me to the hospital and it was a quick referral to DVT. The community visited me the same day at home and then was referred for a CT scan the next week. A follow up appointment was arranged for early April which was cancelled and rearranged for today. They could be more efficient at seeing people and helping them. I need a solution for the excruciating pain.

Can wait for appointment, good communication

Been a few times. I've previously waited an hour for an appointment on two occasions for the thoracic department. They are good at letting me know what's happening.

Lovely doctors and nurses, very good

May 3, 2023
Been coming here since last October. It's very good, the doctors and the nurses are lovely, I can't fault them. I was referred to the hospital from my GP who said I would need to go to the A&E that day. When I arrived I had scans and blood tests done and stayed in for 2 nights. They put me on a sodium drip as my sodium levels were low. I ended up having a bone marrow biopsy at the Sheldon Unit and had treatment there for a month.
