Staff are nice

August 25, 2023
Been a few times, staff are nice. Long waits for bloods. Seems very busy. Some days can be quick. Come for blood tests every 3 months.

Confusion about cancellations

August 21, 2023
Neurology appointment cancelled didn't tell me then received a letter to say this was a new appointment. No one had told me about original appointment as did not receive information letter beforehand. Had to double check to make sure appointment hadn't been cancelled.

Took 16 weeks to get an appointment

August 15, 2023
Went couple of times, quite hard to get into. Took 16 weeks to get an appointment. Said initially that appointment will take 6 weeks then extended it by 10 weeks. Feel system is overwhelmed and there is too much going on. No chasing just had to wait a while.

Admission staff was great

August 15, 2023
Came back for hip surgery but had urinary problems. Admission staff was great and received me very well in the ward. When I was in waiting room they didn’t told me what I was waiting for. Lack of information. Sleepless night as alarm kept going of really loud. Food and drinks were good.

Easy, they can sometimes be late but that’s understandable. There are several departments, some parts of hospital is easy to get around than others.
