I am not very happy with the treatment in A&E. I waited on a stretcher for over 10 hours as there were no beds.

My wife was referred to Heartlands for a second opinion and was treated for liver cancer. Unfortunately, she passed away but the care and treatment provided was excellent.

They do not know what the military conurbation act is. It means we are supposed to get quicker treatment. I have snapped my ACL 8 weeks ago still no surgeon appointment.

My daughter was an inpatient for over a week. The nurses and ward staff are very rude and unhelpful. They just don't listen to the patients.

It's a bad experience when you go there. They don't care. One time I went with my friend and waited for 24 hours in A&E.
