Tests in Covid

February 18, 2021
My husband is due to have some tests at QEHB in probably a couple of month's time. Am very concerned that he will end up with Covid following attendance at the QE for these tests. Would like some reassurance.

I was not treated quickly enough

February 18, 2021
Had to go there after I rung 111 and they told me to go because of my symptoms. I went there with stroke-like symptoms, I was not treated quickly enough. The place was not busy staff were strolling around. Not bedlam at all like the press reports.

Very difficult to get an appointment

February 18, 2021
Very difficult to get an appointment for over 5 years since the last change in services. Always told I am on a waiting list for an appointment. The appointment should be every 6 months I am lucky if it is 8-9 months.

11 months of treatment for Cancer at QEHB

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
February 5, 2021
From my initial diagnosis to being given the all clear the QEHB have been truly excellent. The level of care has been outstanding. I have had three in patient stays and cannot find any fault in the standard of treatment I have received which has been brilliant. From my consultant downwards the entire team have been absolutely amazing and I cannot believe the treatment I have received in such difficult times I cannot thank QEHB enough.

Not a good experience

January 28, 2021
Not a good experience. The A&E doctor misdiagnosed despite me saying I didn’t agree with his diagnosis. I knew it was wrong. I had to return the following day on the advice of my G.P.
