The treatment didn't last long.

I had heat treatment 6 months ago and it was okay but it didn't last. Now I'm back in the same situation. They wanted to operate but I didn't want it.

They have been amazing at the hearing centre. Really helpful. The service always runs on time. They don't rush you, explain everything well. Very very good I say.

The gynaecology department just stigmatises me because I'm fat and they think I can't walk, always asking to wheel me.

My 83 year old Dad spent last night on a trolley in an “overflow” room at A & E Heartlands Hospital. He’s very poorly. In the past 20 hours no drinks (not even water) have been offered. Yesterday evening I purchased him a a sandwich and a bottle of water. There are few nurses. Fewer Doctors. No “housekeeping” it seems. I don’t know if he’s had his meds or insulin. As of this moment he’s had no breakfast. I am at home. I have MS. PALS is closed. How am I expected to get him noticed? I am struggling to move. I am his only carer. My faith in God is strong. Not so in the NHS.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about Heartlands Hospital – apologies for the delayed response. We are really sorry that there were so many issues with your father's care in the Emergency Department - specifically not being offered no drinks in over 20 hours, a feeling that the department is understaffed, an absence of visible housekeeping and your inability to get hold of the PALS department.

If you think it’s helpful we are keen to listen to your concerns in more detail and to try to help if there are any outstanding issues - or things we can learn from. If you are happy to do this please do still make contact with the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) to provide your details.
