Very busy and poorly staffed in A&E. I waited almost 6 hours before receiving any proper treatment.

A painful experience

During the procedure to fit a heart loop monitor the doctor gave me a little dose of anaesthesia and I was crying with pain. That was a horrible experience.

I have been under physiotherapy for the last 6 months. They pointed out that I had long covid and not my own doctor. The nurse and I were in shock.

They did everything to make me better.

A&E

I went there after having a bad throat for several days and the medication prescribed by the pharmacy didn't work. They ended up putting me on antibiotics and discharging me. The next day I ended up back in emergency and was admitted for 2 days. From start to finish they were lovely. They put me on an IV antibiotic drip. I couldn't fault them. They were busy and understaffed but they did all they could to make me better. They were excellent.

Rubbish, appalling service

They referred me to colorectal appointment, 2 week appointment in December. Got seen within the 2 weeks for a colposcopy but they don't explain whose care you will be under. You go for the appointments and then abandoned. Rubbish, appalling.
