Waited 2 hours for a scan

November 23, 2023
I went there for a scan of my throat and waited for 2 hours. The staff were very slow and lacked patience.

Rushed service and unprofessional.

I went there for bloods and scans. I am not impressed by the level of service I received. I think everything was rushed and done in an unprofessional manner. No information was provided at all.

Too far to get to.

November 23, 2023
My husband had an appointment for cardiology and it was such a long way to go. The hospital is not as nice as the QE and we don't know why he had to go all that way. The staff are nice enough.

Staff are busy and rush the care

November 22, 2023
Communication could be better from staff and about appointments. I feel that is more to do with the staff. I feel like the staff are always busy and they don't have time for all the patients so they rush the care.

They couldn't help with my pain

November 22, 2023
I was having pains in my neck, back and shoulders. They gave me an x-ray and said there was nothing they could do and to do some physiotherapy. They did a few exercises in the hospital and then discharged me.

Long waiting times. He is meant to be seen every 6 months for a pacemaker. Lots of times they have cancelled or they do not see him at all.
