Heartands treated me

I was suffering from an ear infection for over a month and my GP didn't listen to me so I came to Heartlands. I was put on medication and it has started to work.

The care could be a lot better

Accident and emergency services
October 28, 2024
It can be really slow there sometimes. My sister is pregnant and went to A&E, it took ages to be seen there. It's really really bad. She couldn't breathe properly. The care could be better. Even with my dad they didn't put him on a ward and he had cancer. He was left waiting around. He had a big lump on his leg and no one told us it was cancer. He kept getting discharged after he had a biopsy then he would end up going back. It happened over and over.

A short staffed A&E

If you are going to A&E, be prepared to wait for at least 4 to 5 hours. They have limited facilities and are short staffed.

A trend of sending people home.

I waited 5 hours when I was admitted to A&E. They then said there was nothing they could do and just sent me home. It seems to be a trend.

I was discharged from the maternity ward in a horrid manner without any proper discharge planning. It resulted in a failed discharge.
