Care was disgusting

September 21, 2023
Was referred onto the QE from City hospital for my eyes as this hospital is the best. The care they gave my dad before he died was disgusting and it did contribute to his death.

Staff were really nice

September 21, 2023
Stayed in the hospital 3 weeks. Staff were really nice. I couldn't see anything and they were really helpful. MS nurse isn't that helpful but hospital is great at communication. They let me know in good time about appointments and then where to get support for MS. I was only diagnosed in April this year.

All staff are really friendly.

September 21, 2023
Sound. Frequent visitor. All staff are really friendly. Sometimes I get letters from GP here about appointments that have already happened. Feel like letters/communication can get lost. I get texts, letters and on NHS app and one doesn't correspond with the other and when I call up, one doesn't have any idea. Operation was cancelled twice. Given a date within 2 weeks of coming to the hospital. First was cancelled over the phone. Second was arranged 3 weeks after that I came in, nil by mouth for 8 hours and then cancelled it. Bit rubbish. All went accordingly the third time I came in. Discussed plans for Chemo and Radio going forward and been given information and support.

Since Covid restrictions are over, They need to put more chairs around hospital for elderly patients. I am waiting for a taxi and there is no chair to sit.
