Organised and efficient

April 14, 2021

When I enquired if they could give my second dose of Pfizer vaccine they got back to me immediately and e-mailed me an appointment for the beginning of the following week. It was organised and efficient throughout the whole process.

Turned away

April 14, 2021

I was turned away at the height of the c-19 pandemic from the doors of A&E. They said I seemed fine, although I wasn't eating, was coughing up blood, had a temperature and I was immunosuppressed (on a cancer drug that's also used for autoimmune conditions). Their advice was to call my GP on Monday (I presented on a Saturday) I then went on to suffer for 3 months, lost 2 stones in weight and was in and out of A&E a further 4 times.

Assiduous

Respiratory Care

I was admitted to the hospital in 2019 with a very bad asthma attack. Since then the out patient clinic team have been assiduous in monitoring my condition and seeking to improve my breathing.

Horrible.

April 14, 2021

Horrible. Staff gassing, drinking tea and snacking more than actually working. Get annoyed when you ask for an update. Left me waiting 6 hours and on a recent occasion left my 92 year old Grandma waiting for 8 hours!!!

Poor communication

April 14, 2021

Poor communication between health professionals and especially towards relatives. Drs are unprofessional and have god complexes. Patients are treated poorly with very little dignity and respect.
