My dad died there a few months ago. He was in hospital for a few months after having a heart attack. He received excellent care and treatment throughout his stay at the hospital. Staff were very kind and helpful.

Both of my kids were born here. The staff are good but communication between the staff and with the patient is very poor. The midwives are very good.

Need more staff, I waited 7 hours in A&E

I have waited for more than 7 hours twice in the last 3 months. They need more staff and should provide a much better and clean waiting area for patients. Chairs in the waiting area are very uncomfortable and the toilets are very dirty.

Felt like they didn't care

I was only there for a few hours. More of the elders in the family use it but I'm not a fan of it. My grandad passed away in November and he didn't want to be there. They called us at 1:00AM in the morning to inform us they would stop his medication. He passed away two days later. It's like they didn't care.

5 hours waiting

Accident and emergency services
April 9, 2024
I went into Heartlands A&E with a letter from Solihull. They made me wait for 5 hours to be seen and then a further 15 hours on the ward. It was just horrendous. They work their fingers to the bone but I was with my son and he can't wait that long so it was very stressful.
