Excellent care, treatment and support

November 23, 2023
I was referred to the QE cancer centre from Shrewsbury hospital for metastatic brain cancer. I have received excellent treatment, care and support from the staff. I will give them 100/100.

I went to A&E at 1:30pm and I was finally seen at 9pm

November 23, 2023
I arrived at A&E at 1:30pm and was seen at 9pm. It was a very frustrating experience. I went back home at 11:30pm and now I am here again because the hospital pharmacy gave me the wrong medication after a wait of 1 hour I have finally got the right medication.

Very friendly staff.

The staff are very friendly. The parking is horrible. I waited 15 minutes to get a parking space. The good thing is that it is free for those with a disabled blue badge.

Seen and taken to theatre straight away.

November 23, 2023
It has been fine. They send my appointments by email and then you get reminders by text. I think I have received 4 personally. Staff have been excellent. I have brought my brother to the drop in centre. I was impressed because straight away the maxillofacial team saw him and took him to theatre straight away for an abscess he had on his neck. They were absolutely brilliant.

Waiting 5 months for follow ups.

They have cancelled hospital appointments. You wait a long time at the hospital and they do a 5 minute check up. They say he has a problem and then waits 4 to 5 months for a follow up.
