Review titled Fantastic Nurses
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Liv - Posted on 07 September 2024
I attended Urgent Care in Nuneaton on 06.09.2024, and wanted to give a shout out and praise to the fantastic nurses working in triage assessment that night. It was obvious that the Friday night rush was extremely chaotic and stressful for them, but they remained positive, calm, friendly and approachable throughout. They actively went above and beyond to ensure everybody was comfortable. I saw one nurse get stopped repeatedly by several different patients on her way to another room, and she responded to each one with kindness, compassion and empathy. She took all of their individual requests seriously and went out of her way to get answers for each one. I cannot commend our fantastic nurses enough for making a very scary experience feel reassuringly calm- even if the service is extremely stretched.

Review titled Children's Assessment Unit is absolutely dreadful
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 August 2024
The CAU is not fit for purpose. No ventilation, no windows, dirty, small and overcrowded. Hot and stuffy! Desensitised staff who do not care about children. No attempt to minimise children's discomfort. Long wait times for small children! Hospital management need to investigate the CAU urgently. Felt like a third world hospital!

Review titled Slow and Inefficient
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 July 2024
Arrive at just gone 11am, first process of arrival to A&E being triaged by nurse and receiving ECG was quick. However once we were moved onto the Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) department there was zero process. Waited over 2 hours for bloods to be taken. Over an hour then to be seen by a doctor to then be sent for an XRay which we knew we needed as we had been referred by the GP to A&E for Xray and Blood Tests. Xray process was pretty quick but once returned we waited ages to be seen by the doctor again and when we were seen we had the consultation in a store cupboard. We are now over 6 hours into our visit and are now waiting on the final test results to be sent home. The process needs streamlining and the staff could benefit from some lean training to improve the process and reduce waiting times considerably. Finally the food available in WHSmiths is poor and is mainly junk food. With the current obesity problem in the UK the NHS should really be promoting healthy eating within there facilities.

We visited A&E on Saturday morning with my 2 year old daughter. The waiting time was about an hour. All staff was very nice and helpful. The doctor fixed my daughter's pulled elbow and explained everything clearly. Great service!

Review titled Potentially dangerous experience
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 April 2024
I visited A&E after being sent there by my GP due to a mental health crisis. The triage team did an excellent job. However, the person I saw from the acute mental health team was not at all helpful. In fact, they were potentially dangerous in that the comments they made were inappropriate and upsetting. They didn’t listen to my story or history, they made a lot of assumptions without giving me space to clarify, and they shared far too much of their own story and issues. Had I been in an even more vulnerable mental state at the time, their actions could easily have pushed me into dangerous behaviour. In the end, they did agree to refer me to the home treatment service for mental health, but seemed to think this was unlikely to help. Having seen that team this morning - they were excellent, professional, compassionate, and provided the necessary support.

Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. I'm so sorry to read that the acute mental health team did not help you and in fact, added to your distress. You should have been listened to carefully and treated with sensitivity and empathy and I'm very sorry this wasn't the case. It's reassuring to hear that the home treatment service was able to provide the support you needed and I hope you are recovering well. I will make sure that your experience is shared with the team and used to improve the service they provide. If you would like to talk to me about this please contact pals@geh.nhs.uk and ask for Becky. Best wishes, Becky Head of Patient Experience and Volunteering

Review titled Great hospital, terrible parking
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Charlie - Posted on 24 April 2024
Visited here quite a few times and always had great interactions with staff, especially the physio department. The parking situation at the hospital is ridiculous though, if you've got an afternoon appointment you've no chance of getting parked. I've been late to appointments when I got to the car park half an hour prior to my appointment.

Review titled Great kindness and a cheerful approach
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 February 2024
I'm a volunteer who takes patients to hospital and other medical appointments. I took a gentleman, 87 years of age, in for an MRI scan late on Saturday afternoon. Despite being disappointed that she and her colleague hadn't seen any patients that afternoon ( they had failed to turn up for appointments...how frustrating and costly is that?!!), the clinician was friendly, caring, funny, and very respectful of her patient, taking notice of his disabilities. Both he and I were very impressed by the two ladies care and attention, especially as he was a little worried about the procedure . I wanted to highlight this, in contrast to many uncomplimentary reviews that are written, usually based on the delays in A & E . The NHS is under huge pressure, as we all should acknowledge and it is no surprise that there will be waiting time involved, and occasional poor attention or approach by staff. It shouldn't be forgotten that we might all let standards slip if we were overworked, tired, on a treadmill of shifts..and then not paid at a level appropriate to our life saving skills.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post feedback about your experience. Thank you also for the time and energy you dedicate to volunteering and helping this gentleman attend his appointment. You are right, it is both frustrating and costly when people don't turn up for appointments and adds to the huge pressures the health service is under. But I am so glad to read that the patient was treated with care and that the staff were respectful of his disabilities. I will make sure your feedback is shared with the MRI team. As you rightly highlight, compliments are rare and will mean the world to this team. Best wishes, Becky Head of Patient Experience and Volunteering
