Came in with liver problems after trying to see my GP for weeks. They rushed me straight through as I was severely jaundice and got me a bed on a ward.

The care is 10 out of 10

The staff were absolutely brilliant on ward 10. They should be paid footballers wages because they're absolutely brilliant. Care is 10 out of 10. They have been angels and treated me so well.

Telephone appointments are rubbish

July 17, 2024
Really slow with appointments after being referred. They only offer telephone appointments too which is rubbish. I call and they say it will be 4-9 months for an appointment but I am meant to be seen every 6 months.

They didn't listen, not helpful

They were only trying to focus on my mental health. There was no immediate support for an injury I had and the mental health support wasn't very helpful. They didn't really listen.

Absolutely brilliant at maternity

Maternity
July 16, 2024
I went in to be induced. They broke my waters and then said they thought I had sepsis and did an emergency C-section. They kept me in for 2 weeks. They were absolutely brilliant. The care was amazing. The midwives phoned when I came home.

I was taken to the hospital by ambulance at 6pm in the evening after the fall I had. I was shifted to the ward after 6AM because they had no beds available for me.

Sent same appointment as the one I cancelled

July 10, 2024
I called to change my appointment because of having dementia. It took several attempts to get through and then they said they would change it for me. They sent a new appointment and it was for the exact same date and time. I was really disappointed as it took so long to get through and sort it, I don't want to do it again.
