Their response is always excellent

June 17, 2021
I have nothing but praise for this service and staff. They have always made me feel heard and important, but during the pandemic I feel they have handled this exceptionally even though they have had to move out of Ward 19 into the MIDRU centre which has brought it's own complications and reduction in space to provide a service. I have never felt scared to go into the hospital as the processes they have out in place are just right. I know who to contact if I need help and support and their response is always excellent.

Numerous appointments cancelled

June 10, 2021
Despite having various health conditions & before covid I was regularly monitored for these annually. I have had numerous appointments cancelled as the doctors are all busy managing covid patients. Of the very few tests I have had done, I find that I am still waiting for the results of my scan & blood tests done in December 2020 & its now April 2021. I have a greater risk of cancer given my health & various family members having died of cancer but cannot get any new scans done or the results of the scans I had done. Am waiting a camera test since my referral in October 2020. Its nearly six months since that referral. When I chased up another referral done in January 2021, I was told there is no clinic rooms available to do the appointment & they do not know when any room will become available. But they have not told me, I had to ring up constantly trying to find out why I am not hearing from anybody.

They are amazing

My partner was admitted to hospital in December. He had suffered a heart attack due to his kidneys failing. He now has dialysis 4x a day 7 days a week. It was only down to the amazing renal team that he is still with us. They are amazing

Delayed Diagnosis

April 29, 2021
GP told me not to drive and referred me to cardiology Heartlands. In March still no appointments were being given. I only saw a cardiologist after 4 A&E visits by ambulance. had 1 test to date but told results are 4 to 6 weeks from now. I need a quick diagnosis but seems impossible. (june) 5 months , no driving and live alone with a possible dangerous heart problem.

Bad Experience

April 29, 2021
While an inpatient, dinner menu was offered I requested Tikka Lamb as I like it and thought the spice may help my constipation. I was told it is halal, I said ok but was told it wasn't for me? I mentioned the spice and was told to ask for senokots.
