Sometimes busy
January 11, 2019
They send a map before your appointment which helps
Can't always get appointments here though and have to travel to other hospitals.
It's sometimes busy and difficult to get seating, otherwise the service is fine.

There was no communication

Usually very good, last time I came there was an hours delay, and today the same. There was no communication. I had to be rushed here by my daughter who had another appointment. If I had been told, I would have taken my time. No liaison with patients. We already have many other worries and this compounds it. There was an elderly lady who was very distressed about the wait. I could have let her go before me but my daughter also had to go home.
Lack of good communication resulting in extra

I had hysteroscopy done at Good Hope Hospital, the doctor who did the procedure told me at that time, if I were you, I would be prepared to embrace cancer. He said that they can not be certain until they get the results in ten days time. This left me really terrified, I did not know if I had cancer, but I wrote letters to family in panic when they say the word cancer, it puts everything on hold. I then arranged and paid for a private scan to try to set some more answers before my test results could come through. It turns out that this test could not have detected my cancer, but at the time it made, me feel better. Eventually, I found out that I had cancer as I had a missed call and a voice mail from Macmillan cancer nurse, I never even managed to speak to her but the fact she had tried to contact me told me I had cancer.
The impact was horrendous. Worst time of my life. Overall the experience with Good Hope was good but this was a horrendous experience.

The doctors at Good Hope took amazing care of me

I got pregnant with my 6th child in 2015 and was looked after by the Heartlands Hospital. On the 20 week scan they spotted something that was of concern and I was referred to specialist consultant care. The consultant told me that I would have to have a C-section, and they can’t guarantee that I will survive. The way I was treated made me very depressed and anxious. Every time I was in hospital I was just crying. I then decided to change my care to Good Hope Hospital, as I couldn’t cope with the way I was treated at Heartlands.
I was treated at the Good Hope by Dr XXX and Dr YYY and I am forever thankful for their support and care. They told me that they will look after me and that everything will be fine. They came with me to Heartlands Hospital when I had to have my C-section. I ended up having a healthy baby and I didn’t need hysterectomy either. The doctors at Good Hope took amazing care of me, and I would like to send a big thank to them for their care. I will always appreciate their help and seeing my healthy baby reminds me of them.

For my mobility problems I go to Good hope hospital where a very nice & caring doctor is treating me, he involves me in everything but he cannot operate me because of my epilepsy and he is looking trying to look for other solutions for me which is taking time. I am waiting since last few months with all the pain which has affected my everyday life. (very long wait)

Good experience of care when I had surgery
General Surgery

When I initially presented there, they listened, were attentive, very professional and they treated me with care and respect. They found the time to deal with me when I presented as an emergency and then had an operation.
tested falsley positive benzodiazepine drugs
Maternity
October 20, 2016
During my pregnancy I kept testing positive for a drug that would have had implications on the development of the fetus, I was not taking the drug. When I gave birth they did a tox screen which took 4 days (without my knowledge or consent). This delayed discharge from the hospital and I did not know why. I was later told that there had been a fault with lab tests which was causing false positive results.
