A poor A&E experience
A&E
April 8, 2025
A&E experience wasn't good. My sister couldn't breathe, we took her at 1:30AM and they didn't see her until 9AM. She had severe chest pain. We requested pain relief for the pain 4 to 5 times and we didn't get any until 6AM. The doctor was very very good but the wait was far too long.
Busy, dirty and no empathy
A&E
April 8, 2025
Rubbish. My son was 17 when he first came here. He is 18 now and has cancer. He had to wait 12 hours with ill people before being seen with his low immunity. The service doesn't improve either, constantly waiting, the hospital is dirty and the staff don't communicate. There is no empathy at the QE. A&E is always busy and dirty. You could catch something just going there.
Very well examined and treated

A 4 hour wait at A&E but I was seen by a doctor who examined me well and prescribed medication.
Excellent, seen within 3 hours

In the last 2 months I went to A&E twice and was seen within 3 hours. Excellent.
Took the bloods after a long wait
A&E

It was a long wait at A&E following my GPs advice to get there after my bloods came back. They took a fresh sample and tested it immediately. The results came back and they were fine. They followed up so quickly.
The letter isn't clear
March 25, 2025
A bed was booked for the 31st and the letter that was sent said no liquids or food for the operation. I haven't found the letter clear for what will happen.
Very little went well

Very little went well. Care was appalling and food was inedible. Using faulty equipment until I pointed it out to them. Staff didn’t realise.
A much better A&E
A&E

This A&E is much better than other hospital A&Es. I have visited twice and been seen within 2 hours.
Good explanation provided

I was treated there for COPD. The consultant explained the issues well and provided the right medication.
All went well
Ophthalmology

I had cataract surgery 14 months ago after Specsavers referred me. All went well and they said my eyes are excellent. I read the chart as if I was 50 years old not 91.
