Staff were lovely

February 10, 2020
It was to see CF team but didn't know where we were going and had to ask a member of staff. Which was really really helpful and walked us all the way to the area of the appointment. Staff was lovely, spoke to my daughter and was always smiley.

Called back due to a mistake

Accident and emergency services
January 11, 2019
I'm a street cleaner and had an accident a few days ago picking up needles for the council and one of the needles slipped and hit my finger, making it bleed. I came to A&E and they saw me straight away, giving me a tetanus injection and blood test.
I received a call yesterday saying they had been the wrong label on the blood test and could I come in this morning at 9:30 am. Now it's 10:15 am and I'm still waiting to be seen. My GP wants to know the blood test results. They told me that although I had a call saying 9:30 am, they don't operate like that and I just have to wait to be seen. I'll give it a bit longer, but I have work to get to.
Since the accident I don't know what's been going on in my system - it's been nearly a week. My GP is desperate for the blood tests results to treat me properly and give me immunisations I need.

Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to your posting.

I am sorry to read your posting regarding your visit to the A&E department at Heartlands and I am extremely concerned that you have had to wait for your blood test as our staff were unable to see you in a timely manner. I hope this matter has been resolved, however, if you still have any concerns or wish to discuss this matter, can you please contact our Patient Relations Team on 0121 424 0808 or via email at uhb-tr.Complaints-ConcernsandCompliments@nhs.net who will be able to look into your concern in more detail.

I hope you will get in contact with us and look forward to hearing from you very soon.

Kind regards

My main concern is parking problems

January 11, 2019
Hospital is large but this isn't reflected in the car parking, even the overflow parking isn't enough.
Reception area is dated and doesn't have enough spacious seating.
Staff seem friendly and are always helpful
My main concern is the parking. It creates anxiety and unnecessary stress prior to appointments, causing patients to rush and worry- sometimes even running late for appointments.
In comparison to other hospitals, more investment is needed.

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments regarding the service that you received at Heartlands Hospital. It is lovely to receive such positive feedback from our patients.

I do agree that the parking and outpatient areas is an issue and they are both areas currently under review.

Having to wait so long spoils it

Outpatients
January 11, 2019
I've come here many times and everytime I have waited more than an hour to be seen. Sometimes it's been two hours, which has spoiled the overall experience. Waiting rooms are overcrowded and lack basic things such as drinking water. It's not very clean.

I am very sorry to learn of your experience whilst you were an outpatient under the care of our Trust and the impression that it has left.

If you would be willing to provide further details of the particular waiting area, we can then advise the Outpatient and Estates Department manager’s of your experience so they can make any necessary improvements, you can contact a member of the Patient Relations Team on 0121 424 0808 or you can email your concerns to uhb-tr.Complaints-ConcernsandCompliments@nhs.net who can then take the necessary action.

Kind regards

Overall OK

Outpatients

Overall my experience so far based on five visits is ok. All the facilities including parking & cleanliness are ok. Most of the time I have waiting over an hour to be seen. The waiting area is quite congested with so many people.

Very good service, if treatment wasn't available I wouldn't be able to get help and support.

I'm highly satisfied with the doctors and nurses, but the hospital facilities are basic and not good.
