very helpful staff and fast referral

March 19, 2024
I was diagnosed with lung cancer at Heartlands. They referred me to the QE for further treatment. The staff were very helpful and the consultant made sure that the treatment started ASAP.

Consultant is very good, reception are rude.

We regularly go to the paediatrics department for my son's check up and blood tests. The reception staff are very rude and don't communicate politely. The consultant is okay. He listens to us and explains things very well.

More doctors, nurses and midwives needed.

March 6, 2024
The maternity department needs more doctors, nurses and midwives because they are severely short of skilled staff. Low and poor level of staffing is affecting patients who have to wait for ages.

My son had a back injury and waited 3 hours in an ambulance because there was no doctor to see him. After he was seen by the doctor he waited a further 6 hours because there were no available beds.

Not getting anywhere here either

Care has been the same as Solihull as there is not much communication about what is going on. I don't feel like we're getting anywhere.
