Review titled Great care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Ian - Posted on 01 May 2024
Referred by GP to en&t because of concern over potential throat tumour. Appointment was offered within a week and consultant was kind, caring and very informative. Outcome was much less serious than feared.

My daughter cut her head open and we wasn’t even there half an hour she was seen straight away and they glued it and was sent on our way. The staff were so polite and made my daughter feel so comfortable!

Review titled Amazing care over 4 years.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mcewan Wheeldon - Posted on 26 April 2024
How do I start? Started as an outpatient almost 4 years ago. Ear problem. Because of other health problems, operation was not possible. My consultant sent 3 "heavy letters" to my local doctor, and after a review, they changed my treatment! In effect, long term, the consultants' care and letters have changed my life. Because my general health has improved so much, my ear was operated on at Barnsley hospital, Monday 15th. The care at Barnsley hospital.... Ward 36, one overnight stay. From walking onto the ward to discharge, nothing was too much trouble. The guys who operated and put me to sleep, smashing, funny, full of kindness. Please pass on my thanks, On going onto ward 36, within minutes asking about pain, drink, food, checking and redressing my dressings (they hurt). All with a smile. Staff are amazing. Not just with me but with all others within my line of sight. My bladder packed up, meaning I told staff I was not weeing. Within 15 minutes this lovely ward Sister had me scanned and catheter put in, she did this herself. (night shift). Bag still on, at home now. This lovely lady removed my pain as quickly as she could. Discharge.... Sent down to the discharge ward (I think ward 16), from walking onto the ward, asked if I needed food, seated and waited for medication. The nurse explained what to use and how to use it, no rush, explaining in full. So, from starting treatment with Barnsley almost 4 years ago, the consultant has changed my long term care for the better, the guys have operated and fixed my ear, Ward 36 are amazing! Discharge unit is very helpful. In 27 years, 14 operations, in both private and n.h.s. hospitals, Barnsley hospital without doubt, the very best I have ever been in. Please pass on my feedback to theatre staff a real big thankyou to Ward 36 (I cannot say this loud enough) and the discharge ward. Please make sure All gets to read this, on the ward, in the theatre. Please make sure all staff know they are valued. All the bosses need to read this, I'm dyslexic and took an age to write! Thank You all. Mac.

Review titled Brilliant staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5

When giving birth to my son at Barnsley hospital my experience in the labor and delivery ward was nothing short of traumatic and one of the hardest things to experience but the staff that were in the room with me were absolutely phenomenal before during and after my experience. I will admit during my pain I wasn’t the nicest to these ladies or anyone In the room for that matter but when all was done and my son was here I couldn’t apologise enough for my rudeness and all 3 women were completely understanding and didn’t take offence nor treat me any differently and I was extremely grateful for that. Even when my birthing partner went home to get some rest the midwifes were constantly checking to see if I was alright as well as talking to me and keeping me company. The women were amazing people and amazing at their jobs. I was abit disappointed I couldn’t manage to go back with gifts for them both as they all really did deserve to be treated for their amazing hospitality and care for me and my newborn son.

Review titled Thorough Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Vanessa - Posted on 17 April 2024
I was there for quite a while, so the appointment wasn’t quick, and I know this can be frustrating at times. However, the team were friendly, thorough and kept me informed throughout the appointment. At the end of my appointment I felt assured with the outcome, the care taken and the information provided.

Review titled Excellent care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Stevan Rose - Posted on 19 April 2024
My ageing mother was brought into Barnsley Hospital on Thursday 4th with a severe chest infection and was discharged the following Sunday. Her care, from the minute she arrived was excellent. Your staff, both medical and support are wonderful and are to be commended. I can't thank you enough for taking such good care of her.

My daughter was referred to eye clinic with concerning findings from the optician on a Saturday afternoon. That same day we attended the eye clinic & possible diagnosis discussed.

Concerns addressed & treatment plan in place.Excellent experience.

Review titled Amazing staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 March 2024
From the beginning of my pregnancy right up until I left the hospital with my baby I received the most incredible care from all the medical staff we encountered. We were induced due to concerns with growth and all of the midwives we encountered in the antenatal and postnatal ward were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. They put my mind at ease and offered support when I needed it. As the induction had failed we had a c section which initially I was very worried and anxious about but all the staff including doctors midwife’s, the anethatis and surgeons etc put my mind at ease. They spoke to us through the whole experience and genuinely cared for me and my baby. They helped relax me and made my birth experience just as magical as any other birth. This hospital has incredible medical professionals who have put the care of me and my baby first, listened to any concerns I had and acted upon their own concerns promptly to enable a safe delivery for both me and my baby girl. Me and my boyfriend will be forever grateful to the staff at Barnsley hospital.

Review titled First class response
Rated 5 stars out of 5

After noticing achange of dry skin I asked a pharmacist who recommended GP. When consulted the recommendation was refer to Dermatology which happened within 2 weeks. The consultant was thorough and answered my questions openly. His conclusion was to excise the problem. This was accomplished in three weeks and have just received pathology result which concurred his opinion. I am greateful, his professionalism and sense of humour at a stressful time for me was appreciated. Thank you
