Solihull Hospital

I had a cancer procedure carried out at Solihull Hospital. The staff were brilliant. The procedure went well and I was satisfied with the service I received.

I was referred to Solihull Hospital for a liver scan. The appointment came through quickly and went well. I also received my results very quickly too which was very pleasing.

I have been under the gastro team at UHB and have attended appointments at Solihull and Heartlands Hospitals. I experienced long waits between appointments, which was often 6 months. I also had a long wait for results and it took several months to be told that I needed a liver scan. Communication was generally poor and needs to be improved.

I was referred to the cardiology department at Solihull Hospital. I was pleased with the service I received, appointments went well and I had an ECG. The problem is that I have not received any results, no follow up appointment and nothing in writing. Communication has been poor and the only thing that I have received is a discharge letter without any explanation.

I attended a recent rheumatology appointment at Solihull Hospital. I was unable to park in a disabled bay, or the car park and had to park on a residential street and use my blue badge. I do have mobility issues and it was a long walk back to the car after having a steroid injection in my knee. The appointment itself went fine.

I was very late being seen today by the gastro team. Appointment went fine otherwise.

I was referred to Solihull Hospital for an X-ray. The appointment came through quickly and was very straight forward. I was satisfied with the service I received.

My experience of the antenatal department at Solihull Hospital has been good. The midwives and my consultant are lovely. There is room for improvement in the department, appointments during the warm summer heat were unpleasant because there is no air conditioning and the room is small and not well ventilated. I have also attended on days that there are no seats for the pregnant patients, and partners of patients are sitting and letting pregnant patients stand. The care here is great but the department and equipment feels a little tired and worn. At one appointment I felt like I was taken into a stock room, there was hardly any room and was full of boxes all stacked up.

As an expectant father it's hard to know what to expect at antenatal appointments. I have had a really good experience attending appointments at Solihull Hospital Antenatal department. I have felt included in appointments and have been able to ask questions.

My experience of antenatal care at Solihull hospital has been very good. The staff are really nice and they have been very reassuring.
