Transferred after tests

January 16, 2024
Referred on quickly and had swelling on neck and was there the next day after seeing GP. They did tests and figured out it was cancer and got me transferred onto haematology at the QE as they didn't treat it there.

Very dirty

January 15, 2024
Very dirty. The toilets were dirty. No proper cleaners at all. The cleaners weren't wearing proper gloves and coughing a lot. That concerns me as a member of the public.

Very good and referred me onto eye hospital

January 15, 2024
I ended up in A&E with an eye emergency. They did an MRI scan and other tests to see what was wrong after the opticians told me to go straight to A&E. It was a bit of a wait but eventually it got sorted. They then said I would need to be seen by the eye hospital. I managed to get an appointment for the following week. They were very good.
