Review titled Uncaring nurse in S Tech Ward
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Shrubsole - Posted on 19 July 2023
I am a volunteer driver based in Towcester. I took a cancer patient to Towcester Medical Centre this morning. The nurse there informed me the patient is vert unwell and needs transferring to Northants hospital S Tech ward as she was very dehydrated. As an ambulance would be too long in coming, I was asked to take her. I did this and having consulted a nurse in A & E was told to take the patient straight to S Tech ward. When I arrived there, a nurse informed me I was in the wrong place and told that Towcester Medical Centre had no followed protocol. I said the patient is very ill. The nurse then said, and I quote. It's not my problem, take her back to A & E, I am busy with another problem.

I have just spent 3 days in Spencer Blue ward. The staff were excellent, caring and so hardworking. The ward was very busy and therefore noisy but overall I was very impressed

Review titled Excellent Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I attended the Forrest Centre Breast Screening Service Department at Northampton Hospital and I cannot fault the service I have received. My mammogram was on time and I received an ultrasound scan shortly after. My whole appointment took 30 minutes. The Doctor and nurses were extremely professional, kind, caring, friendly and reassuring at a very stressful time. I was treated with dignity and respect throughout my appointment. I cannot thank them enough for the service that I have received today.

Review titled Sdec dept visit Sat 14th May 2023
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Chris - Posted on 14 May 2023
I was referred by my GP for an iron infusion. I booked in at reception and was told there was a 4 to 6 hour wait, (just paid £4+ for parking), I was not told this when booked in so was not prepared, no food,drink or book with me. 9 hours later I received my 30 minutes infusion. I was not an emergency, just needed simple predetermined treatment. There must be a better way of dealing with such treatment. The staff were great and where needed looked after me well. At 87 and not well , I could have done without being abandoned for nigh on 10 hours.

Review titled Excellent care and attention in the Heart Centre at NGH
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mark Newton - Posted on 25 May 2023
Following a routine pacemaker check, a possible fault in the box was found which would need further analysis. Within a couple of days I received a call from the Heart centre to go in for a minor day procedure the following day. From arrival first thing in the morning to release in the early afternoon, the courtesy and empathy shown by the whole team was excellent. My designated nurse on the day was particularly informative and had a wonderful sense of humour. This was the first time I have had to use the NHS for an operational procedure for many, many years and I cannot praise those involved enough.

Rated 1 star out of 5

No mid wives.mums maybe put at risk . Not enough midwives to cover. Inducing people and stopping and stopping after starting.Ques for breaking waters . Put in Watson ward for new mums in stead of pre labour / labour. Start stop. No communication or notes between nurses and docs. Too many student nurses on, not ready. Poor pass over between staff, days behind each other. No confidence vote. Told blame on goverment

Review titled A&E Visit
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 March 2023
I arrived at around midday was booked in and seen within 2 hours, had scans and blood tests done and ready and waiting for review after about 4 hours. Absolutely no complaints. The doctor I had was wonderful and informative. I wasn't dying so I expected to wait and I was pleasantly surprised. Nurses were great as well.
