7 hour wait in A&E

November 29, 2023
I waited for 7 hours at A&E before I was seen by a doctor. There were more than 30 patients waiting in A&E and only a hand full of doctors around.

Good and friendly staff.

It's okay. Nothing has gone badly. Just been there recently assigned there for my long term condition. The staff are good. They are friendly. Recently I went for an appointment and was waiting an hour later than the time. No one explained to me what was happening and why the wait was longer.

Staff lacked compassion

November 27, 2023
My daughter was transferred here from Birmingham Children's. The staff lacked compassion and just treated us like an ordinary job and not someone who needed specialist care and attention.

Overcrowded, poor seating, dirty toilets.

I went to renal outpatients a number of times. It's overcrowded with poor seating and dirty toilets. They need more staff at each service level.

No proper communication

November 27, 2023
I had to go to this hospital in 2022 however I was supposed to go to Good Hope but due to covid I had to go to the QE. Then they sent me to the Royal Orthopaedic and they found that I had a heart condition. Because of this they sent me to the QE again. The problem they have is communication. There is no proper communication. I ended up in Good Hope. I was not happy about the information and the communication provided.
