Ignored by a rude nurse

January 9, 2024
I have had no communication from them. They didn't inform my friend or myself why she is being moved from the QE new hospital to the old hospital. I asked and I didn't get an answer or tell me anything. How rude. She turned turned her back and ignored me. This happened last September. I'm an ex nurse and you need to be kind. I used to work in the QE a long time ago. Because of this I had to walk a long way to see my friend.

They could do more to improve waiting times

Accident and emergency services
January 9, 2024
It's not that good to be fair. I had an accident and was taken to A&E at 11:00am and I was still waiting at 7:00pm. Nobody keeps you informed about how long it is going to be. It puts more stress on you not knowing. They could do more to improve. I know it's difficult and everything but they need to improve.

Polite staff, they were okay

January 9, 2024
I was referred onto them for occupational therapy and the dietician. They were okay there and I never waited long for the referral or the appointment itself. Staff were always polite enough. I had a few issues with contact numbers and was put through to the wrong department when chasing my appointments up or needing answers to a query.

Parking could be improved.

January 9, 2024
It's alright. I have no problems with them. They could improve the car parking. For A&E the nearest parking is the Women's Hospital. There ought to be some disabled parking near to A&E or somewhere closer.

They have been brilliant.

January 9, 2024
I come here for my diabetes, kidneys and eyes. They are really good. I have an email address for my nurse so if the blood sugars are playing up I just email them and they'll adjust it for me. They're even putting me onto a new pump that communicates with my blood readings to automatically adjust the insulin levels. They have been brilliant.

They made an earlier appointment

January 8, 2024
I contacted them to bring forward my mom's appointment which they could only do it for three months earlier. They had to increase her medication which made her have more involuntary movements but when they decreased her meds it gave her pain.

Left me waiting for hours with heavy bleeding

January 4, 2024
I was left in a waiting room for 4 hours haemorrhaging from a miscarriage. I had to crawl on my hands and knees for help. I had a panic attack and they gave me morphine. They called a doctor and they said they had saved my life. The doctor wasn't impressed. It wasn't that long ago. It was awful.
