Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham

Faultless care and treatment at oncology. Communication could be better but they saved my life and I couldn't fault them or thank them enough.

A&E was alright when I had a chest infection and it caused my asthma to flare up. I was seen really quickly and given steroids and antibiotics.

They left me for over an hour and a half after the GP emailed them and they said they didn't know anything about it even though they thought I might be having a mini stroke.

I waited at A&E for 15 hours in loads of pain. They weren't taking me seriously. They took bloods after 6 hours of waiting. I came in at 1am and then had to wait until 9am the following day to get a bed. I had no food and had to be given a glucose pouch. I didn't have the operation until midday. They didn't clear it properly and ended up having a second operation. I was there for 2 weeks and ended up with another infection and had to be given stronger antibiotics. They complained the ones I had to be given were too expensive. A drain got clogged and I raised it but the nurses didn't do anything. I ended up with clots that were dismissed. I was so badly mishandled.

In 2023 the QE found 4 nodules on the thyroid gland. Two were pre-cancerous. They sent me to Solihull for an operation as there was a cancellation. They were good and got the ball rolling.

A&E wasn't great.

They were good at A&E with my 39 year old son who has multiple disabilities. It took time to get seen but the care received was good.

Bad, they caused my dad issues.

I've been under endoscopy for 6 weeks and I can't fault them.

I've been waiting for 2 years for my eye operation. I'm fed up of calling. It took 17 months just to have an appointment.
