I was admitted to renal care with severe infection and was an inpatient for 3 weeks. The care I received was excellent.

Waiting for surgery is horrible

I am on a waiting list for surgery at oncology. I have to wait for at least 5 months to get my surgery done which is horrible.

The waiting is long without any updates

Maternity
July 17, 2024
Good experience so far. Was having contractions and told to come in but they're really busy so it takes a while to be seen. I feel like there isn't enough staff. There is a banner that says you will be seen within half an hour but that doesn't happen. They prioritise those that need to be see quicker. They don't tell us properly about what is going on. Been waiting 1 to 2 hours and haven't told us what is happening. They gave medicine.

Poor information and signage

Endoscopy

The appointment letter said ground floor but the appointment was up on first floor. Then you come up out of the lifts and there are no signs so you don't know where you are.

The cost of parking is atrocious

July 17, 2024
It's just the parking. Getting a space and the cost is atrocious. We have had to buy a ticket for £25.00. I think it's because everyone is visiting at the same time. Everything else has been brilliant.

They have been so kind and lovely at A&E. It's more like a maze finding your way around. I would rather go to Solihull but I was referred here from Dudley.

It's okay. They need to improve staff, their hospitality has to improve as they are rude at times.
