Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham

Give you a phone number to call telling you that you have an appointment you know nothing about, whilst you’re waiting for a result from them.

You ring they have no information for you and give you another phone number.

That phone line isn’t manned and you waste your morning trying to find out the results of your scan and why they have booked another one for you and lose your most valuable and irreplaceable asset- time.

Useless. Just remember, their time is important and shouldn’t be wasted but as far as these massively self absorbed people are concerned it’s perfectly fine for them to waste yours. God they are useless.

My brother had his liver transplant done at the QE. The support provided during and after discharge was second to none.

My dad had to wait for his emergency cardiac surgery for 5 days because they were unable to find a cardiac ICU bed for him.

My dad had his cardiac surgery at the QE and the care during and after surgery was excellent.

My daughter had her treatment for intestine cancer at the QE. The treatment went very well and she is now cancer free. The support she received at the cancer centre was excellent.

I have had my reconstructive surgery done here. The team are professional who treated me excellently. I can't fault them at all.

I had my endoscopy done at the QE. Everything went according to plan. The consultant was very friendly. He explained everything very well.

Was referred to hospital to see a gastrointestinal consultant appointment took 57 weeks. I phoned many times until seen.

My first experience as a NHS inpatient was when I reached the age of 84 years. When in January 2024 I was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. I was told that I had a "Severe Kidney Diseases" This was the first time I had required medical attention and I could not have been treated with more kindness and understanding than I had from my doctor and his team.
This kindness and understanding was extended and shared with my wife and two daughters who took my health problem seriously and had lots of questions for my medical team to answer. Which they did with patience and care. I am still attending the Kings Norton Dialysis Unit where the medical team is still lead by my doctor. The care and kindness that I receive could not be improved upon. My families care and concern for me is ever present with their many questions which the medical team never tire of and always answer with patience and understanding.
I have expressed my gratitude in writing to the Chief Executive officer at the QEHB with copies to my MP. I do sincerely hope that you will forward my sincere thanks and gratitude to the doctor and his teams at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham and his team at the Kings Norton Dialysis Unit.

It is disgusting that I can't get hospital transport we don't have a bus and a taxi is £34 return.
