Solihull Hospital

The problem with Solihull Hospital is that there is no A&E department, meaning that in an emergency residents of Solihull (like myself) have to travel very far to seek medical attention, which is potentially putting lives at risk.

I have attended Solihull Hospital on a number of occasions recently to visit family and friends who have been admitted, so my comments are only as an observation as a visitor. From what I have witnessed the nurses on the wards are caring and friendly and the people I have been visiting have been well cared for, making full recoveries and returning home following illness and operations.

I was admitted to Solihull Hospital for an operation. I feel that the nurses did the very best they could in providing care but it was obvious that they were rushed off their feet, and had too many patients to look after.

I see a specialist at the hospital for a long term condition. The service has been good and I have had a positive experience overall.

I have been treated for skin cancer twice at Solihull Hospital and undergone two separate surgeries. The dermatologist was brilliant and I was seen and treated very quickly.

My X-ray appointment went very well and I have no complaints about the service provided. It was easy to get there and easy to park. The staff were friendly and I was seen quickly.

I am a bowel cancer patient. From the very start I have been very pleased with the service provided. I was seen within 4 days of being referred. I have attended a number of appointments, the service is being run efficiently and everything has happened very quickly.

I have been receiving ongoing treatment for the past 3-4 years at Solihull Hospital for Crohn's disease. I have been satisfied with the treatment and management of my condition. I do have to travel quite far to the hospital for treatment but the good service provided makes up for this.

I see my consultant at Solihull Hospital for management of my immune disease. My consultant is very good and so are the rest of the team of staff. I am happy with the care and treatment I receive. I feel well informed and supported.

I have received very good follow on care for cellulitis at Solihull Hospital.
