Very dirty

January 15, 2024
Very dirty floor. No cleaning at all. Especially at the side of stairs which gives a very bad impression.

Clean and easy to get around.

January 15, 2024
No problems really but I don't come very often. I had a phone call about my appointment. They initially offered one just before Christmas but I couldn't come so they rearranged it for today. I was happy with that. The hospital is clean and easy to get around.

Lovely and helpful staff

January 15, 2024
It was an emergency and it took a long time but it was good. The staff were lovely and helpful. Came back to get medication from the pharmacy and again it was good. It didn't take too long to get the prescription either.

Overall very good.

January 15, 2024
I had an appointment at 10:00am. I have been here a couple of hours for a follow up appointment. The last appointment was a year ago. Staff and communication has been good. The cleanliness of the hospital was good, only because the cleaner had just cleaned the toilets before I went in. Overall very good.

Too big and not suitable for mobility issues

January 15, 2024
Too big and hard to get around with mobility problems. As far as staff are concerned they are wonderful. Volunteers are wonderful. The A&E were awful. I had a fall and there were a group of people laying at the end of the bed saying it was a stroke, heart attack. I was being spoken at not to. Nobody speaks to you. The coronary department were brilliant though but its very intermittent.

We are sorry to hear that you've had issues getting round the hospital and that your experience of our Emergency Department was not good and that you felt spoken at rather than spoken to.

On the other hand we are pleased to hear that you are happy with some of the staff you've encountered and your experience of coronary department.

We are keen to listen to your concerns about navigation and the Emergency Department in more detail and to try to help if there are any outstanding issues.

I waited 12 hours in A&E before I was shifted to the ward. They had no bed and I was waiting in a cubicle at A&E.

Ignored by a rude nurse

January 9, 2024
I have had no communication from them. They didn't inform my friend or myself why she is being moved from the QE new hospital to the old hospital. I asked and I didn't get an answer or tell me anything. How rude. She turned turned her back and ignored me. This happened last September. I'm an ex nurse and you need to be kind. I used to work in the QE a long time ago. Because of this I had to walk a long way to see my friend.

They could do more to improve waiting times

Accident and emergency services
January 9, 2024
It's not that good to be fair. I had an accident and was taken to A&E at 11:00am and I was still waiting at 7:00pm. Nobody keeps you informed about how long it is going to be. It puts more stress on you not knowing. They could do more to improve. I know it's difficult and everything but they need to improve.
