Awful parking and poor care.

October 10, 2023
Parking was rubbish. My brother has epilepsy and the staff didn't give him his medication even though in the notes it said he had short term memory and epilepsy.

Have to wait 15 months

October 10, 2023
I have been told that I will be waiting another 15 months for a Glaucoma test. I have macular disease also. I have told them I will most likely be blind by then but no one seems to care, you are just a number on a list to them.

I find them useless.

Visit here on a regular basis. I find them useless. Would rather go to City. Just rubbish there. No faith in that hospital.

Good, helpful staff.

I had blood tests for my children here as the Children's hospital had a 2 month wait. The waiting time was quicker. The staff were good and helpful.

They were very good.

They were very good. I had concussion and went to A&E. I was quite lucky and was seen within an hour. Just over a month ago now but very good.

Advance appointments, good communication.

I have a skin condition and go to see the dermatologist regularly. They always arrange appointments for me in advance and communicate about any changes by letters and emails.

PALs acted quickly

October 9, 2023
My grandson was provided with very poor care when he was admitted with a serious muscular condition (muscular dystrophy).
The issue was reported to PALS and then they moved him to another ward where he was treated for 13 weeks. The PALS acted very quickly on our complaint and resolved the issue within a day which was great.

Issues during delivery.

I had many issues during delivery. I had a C-section and then they stitched the wound wrong and had to restitch which was painful.

Last year in a boxing match my ribs and left hand was fractured and I was taken to A&E. After initial scans and x-rays I was referred to QE. Good support and care was given whilst I was at A&E
