  3. Review titled Daughter possible sepsis

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 09 January 2023

    We were sent to WHH yesterday evening after seeing an out of hours GP at the local walk in centre when my daughter had an extremely high temperature, slight rash, not able to wee and high pulse rate. We were seen swiftly at WHH, staff were polite, helpful and reassuring. The department was very busy but the staff maintained communication, continued to check my child’s observations etc. After a few hours she was sent home with medication for another ear infection with the reassurance we could return if she was unwell. Thank you

  4. Review titled Awful waiting time…

    by Anonymous - Posted on 27 January 2024

    I was advised by my GP I would have an Ugent referral due to the level of pain I’m experiencing and due to the fact I have a cyst that could burst any day now only for my referral to come through for next year... Unbelievably disappointed that given the urgency needed you are making we wait over a year…

  5. Review titled When you get paid to do a job, you should be competent

    by Andrew - Posted on 01 November 2022

    I bought in an elderly friend for an X-Ray (83 years old). The form that she had been given was not signed. Obviously, this issue was due to lack of care/competency at her GP, however, the person booking in at X-Ray was rude and just tried to get rid of us, stating 'go back to GP, they are expecting you'. This is ridiculous - it's not my friend's fault. I took her home and she then took 30 minutes of calling to even get through to her GP. She was then told to ring a different hospital for another appointment. Total lack of, not only competency, but moral decency from several members of the NHS.

  6. Review titled Derry unit

    by Charlotte Waterman - Posted on 07 September 2022

    I came to get a cystoscopy for the first time at the derry unit. A lady who worked there was absolutely amazing in easing my nerves and even held my hand when I was getting worried during the procedure. Big thank you to all staff but especially the lady who helped me, you're amazing.
