Short staffed and long waits in A&E

March 20, 2024
Long waiting times at A&E on every occasion I have been. Once I went with heart attack symptoms and waited for 3 hours. They are short staffed. They need better patient management.

A very good hospital with excellent signposting and volunteer support. There are so many volunteers to help you around. The staff at reception desk close to the main entrance are very helpful in sorting any issues.

I was in the QE for 6 months and was sent to this care home from the QE. Staff at the QE took very good care of me and provided me with great support.

I go here every 6 months to attend the diabetes clinic. They have provided me with excellent care and treatment. They even referred me onto Audiology for a hearing check up and onto the eye hospital for my eyes.

My dad was treated for liver cancer at the QE. He received excellent care and treatment. The best thing was the excellent support provided by the staff and communication with family was very good. Doctors involved us in the treatment related decisions and explained everything very well.
