Friendly Staff

August 7, 2018
Staff are really friendly. I am deaf, they make an effort to understand me and I get frustrated if I can’t explain. But they make the effort and look directly at me so I can lip read.

Long waiting time

August 6, 2018
The patient was extremely dissatisfied with waiting times in A&E AT QE hospital. The individual waited for six hours to be seen and reported that staff had “heated arguments” in front of him. Overall though he was pleased with the level of care, staff attitude, and treatment explanation, but this experience was significantly dampened by being left to wait (in pain) for six hours. He definitely would not recommend the service to friends and family based on the waiting times and lack of staff.

Clean and caring hospital

August 3, 2018
The hospital is extremely sensitive to the cultural and religious needs of its patients. A very clean accessible prayer room is available for its Muslim patients. Patient waited for an hour and a half for bed and was provided a pillow for her back by physiotherapist. Patient was pleased by the level of care she received. Staff is supportive and helpful. The patient is also very pleased with the high level of cleanliness of the hospital too remarking that it even “smells good too”

Extremely helpful & good

May 22, 2018
My mom has COPD & Dementia with frequent emergency admissions, always treated well. Left to wait in a corridor for a bed for 3 hours a few months ago but even then we were looked after by nursing staff, given food and tea. Staff very happy & friendly & professional. Stories of waiting in corridors are not true or as the press reports.

Good but persons values are not understood.

May 22, 2018
Good but persons values are not understood. Staff explained all to me and gave me all the information, but at the end, decision was not mine to make
They made the decision on what should happen with my life
Unfair decision, told to live with decision forever
