Waited at A&E when a peg tube came out
A&E
August 21, 2024
I spent the night in A&E after the peg tube came out of my stomach. The seating wasn't great. They offered me morphine and I was in and out of sleep. Wasn't sure if I was having an operation, they took me to the emergency surgical ward at 5AM to discuss what was going to happen going forward.
I had to pay privately for a hip replacement
A&E
August 13, 2024
I had knee surgery in February and at the end of June I could hardly move. My husband took me to A&E and a bed was found at 3AM. I had x-rays on my pelvis and some blood tests. I was told that everything was fine by the consultant. I insisted it was a hip problem not pelvis. I ended up paying private for a consultation and then surgery privately for a hip replacement.
Really happy with them.
Cancer services

The hospitals speak with each other. They have done scans and the QE have looked after the cancer side of things . I go every 3 months for a scan. The treatment has been amazing. Really happy with them.
Busier hospital

A far busier hospital. I've only had one bad appointment there but in all fairness we did speak to them and said we didn't want to see that member of staff again. Everything else has been fine with them.
Cancelled appointment due to staff shortages

I should have had a 6 month follow up appointment for cataracts but they cancelled due to staff shortages. When I went 6 months ago they checked and said it didn't need surgery yet.
The staff were perfect and kept me calm
Outpatients

I went for a brain scan but I suffer with claustrophobia so I couldn't go in the MRI. I had to have a doughnut CT scan instead. The staff were perfect, really nice and helpful. To keep you calm they talk to you and that. It was just the waiting sometimes as it can be hours. You just have to sit and wait.
Good staff

Alright but they didn't see me on time. I got there 15 minutes early too. The staff were good and they said they would send the results to the doctors.
Fabulous specialist, just wow

They were fabulous 2 weeks ago at cardiology. Very good. The specialist is just wow. Sits away from the computer and talks to me, looks at me and really listens to me.
No personal touch anymore, just ignored
A&E
August 13, 2024
I went to A&E and the nurses were behind the computer and not helping or communicating with me. There were long waits. I was kept in and there was no personal touch. I felt like they took no notice of me because I am older.
Given up with them, I will go elsewhere
A&E
August 13, 2024
When I have gone there, I have felt like I'm wasting their time. They don't help you really. I've given up with them. If I got ill again I would have to go to another hospital. I would rate other hospitals over them.
