Only problem is the waiting.

November 30, 2023
They are a little better as they have more doctors and nurses. There are a lot on stand by. The only problem I have got is the waiting.

Referred to A&E but too busy

November 28, 2023
To get referred to A&E by NHS 111 is ridiculous. The hospital is so busy there is no priority for children. There are long waits. It's so busy and you are left waiting.

So busy people are waiting outside.

I stubbed my toe really bad. There were people waiting outside because the waiting room was so busy. My younger brother also waited 12 hours in paediatrics section. Waiting times and priority for children are none existent.

Given antibiotics that worked this time.

November 28, 2023
A 4-6 hour wait but it wasn't too bad as they put me straight through to ENT and gave me a specific antibiotic which helped me more than the 3 weeks I was taking broad spectrum antibiotics that the GP prescribed. Plus I didn't have to pay for the prescription which was great.

No update/communication on Urgent Referral

unknown
November 25, 2023
After an Ultrasound found something on my pancreas I was given an urgent two week referral to Heartlands. This was on the 13th October. I am now in my SIXTH week of waiting, and after being patient and just three phone calls enquiring what is happening, I've been told they will get in touch with me. On the 24th I was told this again and asked for a more direct contact number to speak to someone more senior. I was given the Secretaries number who said that she would contact consultants and phone me back. No call back received. This is shoddy care with no thought to my anxiety and mental health after six weeks of no further tests and even more lack of communication in their part.
