Ward 25 is brilliant.

September 21, 2023
Reception staff are always good at letting me know where mom is. A&E is awesome. I have been there 3 times and they've helped her so much. They have been incredible. The nurses have to put up with so much there.

Communication is really poor.

September 21, 2023
Communication is really poor. My mom has been in hospital since February. When mom is moving from ward to ward they're not letting us know where she is. I call on the weekend and they put you through to Solihull hospital. Reception staff are always good at letting you know where mom is.

Ward 12 is fine. The communication is excellent. The hospital is not that clean and the food is rubbish. The staff have been great.

Understaffed wards and unhygienic

September 21, 2023
I was on ward 12. They are well understaffed. The toilets are unhygienic. The staff don't communicate very well. It takes them a long time to bring water or a drink. There is contradicting information being given. The food is vile. There is no food on site to cater for a wheat free diet. I had to get sandwiches from the shop.

The staff are brilliant!

September 21, 2023
I have been on ward 24 at Heartlands. The staff are looking after me really. They're brilliant. The food is good, the staff are all approachable. When you press your buzzer the staff are there in a few minutes. They are efficient with time and giving medication, at the right times. They have just been brilliant.
