You wait a long time.

October 3, 2023
If they won't see me at the GP then NHS 111 will recommend going to the hospital. You wait such a long time but it's the only option, or you get told to go to a walk in.

Didn't explain my diagnosis.

October 2, 2023
A&E doctor was amazing. He explained what was wrong and what the prognosis and treatment options were likely to be. But the Inpatient went quite well apart from when the doctor decided to not tell me what the diagnosis was so decided to talk to the students rather than me. I had to get the vulnerability team down just to get answers as to what was wrong with me.

I was really impressed.

September 28, 2023
Very efficient. They explained the process and what they'll be doing and why they are doing it. A&E waiting times said 3 hours. I didn't wait as long. They were really good. I was really impressed.

Waiting times are awful and rude staff.

September 28, 2023
A&E is even worse there. Waiting times, actual rudeness of staff. I understand they're understaffed but people should be treated how they want to be treated. I go quite frequently for my kidney's and the staff are good.
