Understaffed at weekends and poor food.

I was an inpatient at ward 10 for six weeks after surgery. Staffing levels are very low on weekends. They need more nurses and doctors. Food was poor and tasteless.

Surgery was delayed

The surgery is delayed. Test results delayed. No telephone appointments. The response I get is long waiting times. It's appalling. I had surgery a year ago and there were complications leaving me with symptoms and left alone.

I have cauda equina syndrome. I was misdiagnosed for years and after my neck surgery I am paralysed down to the waist. Poor help and support provided in the last few years.

I have had my kidney transplant over here. I am not happy with the support provided after the hospital discharge. They need to engage with the patient more after discharge and provide free transport.

I came to A&E with suspected chicken pox and the doctor said everything will be fine and gave me the wrong antibiotics. Within 4 days my body was full of chicken pox and I lost one of my eyes because of this poor diagnosis.

Very poor care provided in renal ward. Most of the time staff are busy talking and drinking tea. I have seen two patients die in front of me and the staff were unaware about it.
