Second to none.

Treatment Center

Without their help I would be dead. They are doing great job. Doctors and nurses are very good. I have been to 7 different wards and waiting areas. They are in excellent shape. Some of the facilities for walk in patients are second to none.

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments regarding the care and treatment you have received by the team at Good Hope Hospital. I totally agree with you, although I appreciate the NHS is currently under pressure, it does offer a fabulous service.

I am pleased to read that you felt that some of our facilities for walk in patients are second to none. Once again thank you for taking the time to provide your comments, as all patient feedback is very important to us.

Best wishes

Communication between departments is poor

I've been here three times for the same illness. I was told I'll get a guided injection on my second visit, but it's still not been done. The communication between departments is very poor. The referral system is not working. I wasted two visits here for nothing.

Always have to wait a really long time

I've been here three times and I always have to wait a long time to be seen by the doctor or the nurse. They need to reduce the waiting times by hiring more staff. The parking and waiting times are poor, otherwise the staff and facilities are above average.

I've had to wait an hour to be seen, but I know and can see how busy they are. I've been here four times previously and overall the staff and the care is very good. The hospital is clean and tidy.

Staff are helpful but parking is a problem

Orthopaedics
January 11, 2019
Normally too busy in the waiting area, not enough seats. Staff are nice and helpful. Parking is terribly expensive. For an appointment lasting 10 minutes, it usually takes 3 hours from arriving at the hospital to leaving it.

Had to wait hours for appointment

Orthopaedics
January 11, 2019
Waited four hours for my appointment and I was given no updates from the staff in the rehab unit. I was not offered any help.
It cost me more money, car parking and having to buy food and drink from vending machines. Should be told on arrival when there are delays.

Treatment is good, but aftercare isn't

Orthopaedics
January 11, 2019
The treatment is good, but the aftercare is not always so good, and sometimes it is really bad.
The waiting time really varies, sometimes is may take up to an hour, or sometimes very fast.
The environment is very clean and tidy.
Refreshments are available nearby.

It's ok

Orthopaedics
January 11, 2019
I've been waiting a long time - Over 25 minutes so far.
Very friendly, the doctors give useful recommendations.
No help given though when you are waiting to be seen.
Parking is ok, and because I have a blue badge, I don't have to pay.
It's easy and convenient to get refreshments.
The hospital is clean and environment is fairly great.
