Staff are busy and rush the care

November 22, 2023
Communication could be better from staff and about appointments. I feel that is more to do with the staff. I feel like the staff are always busy and they don't have time for all the patients so they rush the care.

Still haven't heard about a tonsillectomy

November 22, 2023
I saw a doctor and they said they had to take the tonsils out and give my son an appointment for a tonsillectomy after 4 months and they have never followed up and I have not heard anything.

They couldn't help with my pain

November 22, 2023
I was having pains in my neck, back and shoulders. They gave me an x-ray and said there was nothing they could do and to do some physiotherapy. They did a few exercises in the hospital and then discharged me.

Long waits and cancellations.

Long waiting times. He is meant to be seen every 6 months for a pacemaker. Lots of times they have cancelled or they do not see him at all.

Have to wait an hour or two to be seen.

I always have to wait for an hour or two at A&E but they do provide treatment and medication. Even booking an appointment with the GP takes 5 hours wait on the phone which is not acceptable.

Food is cold and tasteless

I was an inpatient for weeks on the cardiology ward and ENT. The wards are clean and the staff are nice but the food is rubbish. It's cold and tasteless.
