Solihull Hospital

I am visually impaired and I find that visits to Solihull Hospital go very well because they do not change things around which means that I have been able to learn the layout of the main entrance area and ophthalmology department. I find the staff friendly and helpful and they have been very supportive recently as my symptoms worsen and my condition deteriorates. The hospital could make improvements for visually impaired patients by making the restaurant more inclusive and accessible for us. The menus are not available in larger print and there is nothing to assist visually impaired people. I have in the past asked staff for help to see what is available, but it can be very busy and I do not like to ask at those times. I find it quite strange that more consideration has not been made as the restaurant is right by the ophthalmology department.

My mum had her latest surgery here. The care was great. She was given her own chair and a step to help her get into her house as she struggles to walk now.

They were good at rheumatology. When I call to change appointments they sort it for you. They get back to you really quickly, they're brilliant. They also referred me on.

A blood test was arranged and all was brilliant. I was virtually straight through. All results sent to the consultant.

Went to see them for my hip and they have been very good. Very helpful and listen to what you have to say.

12 week attendance for fractured shoulder and wrist

I called the rheumatology department last week to ask for a medicine review due to changes in my symptoms. They booked me in for this week and the appointment went well. I waited for half an hour to be seen but the appointment itself was very good. The staff were very helpful and informative.

I have had a very good experience at Solihull Hospital over the past 18 months. I have attended a number of appointments for X-rays, ultrasounds and general outpatient appointments. The problem was getting referred, everything has happened very quickly since my referral. My appointments came through quickly and I received the results in good time too.

I have regular iron infusions at Solihull hospital. The service is very well organised and the staff are lovely. I go every two weeks and they are good.

I come here for anti coagulation treatment regularly following a heart attack. Today I was seen early which was nice.
