Solihull Hospital

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.

I attended Solihull Hospital for chemotherapy treatment. I was happy with the care I received. The service was really good.

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.
