Review titled Excellent Care by Doctor that listens.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Harry Hancox - Posted on 01 August 2024
This is for cardiology, so not impressed that its not on the list of departments. This was a follow up to an invasive angiogram 2 months ago, service there was excellent too. I attended a 09.00 am appointment, which was expert, thorough, perfectly detailed to me, perfect bedside manner too, I cannot fault nor speak too highly of the knowledgeable lady Doctor, that continued from the initial Scan to invasive minor procedure, to todays follow up. Suffice it to state, I have Private Medical, it costs >£2k per annum, but so impressed am I with this Doctor & her nurses, I would not change from NHS.

Review titled Great care and excellent staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Steve - Posted on 25 July 2024
I became ill over the weekend and by Tuesday, I ended up calling 111. After not hearing back from my GP, I was advised by 111 in the evening to head to the A&E department. The reception staff took my details promptly, and the wait time was relatively short (around 40 minutes in my case). I was seen and assessed quickly and ended up being kept overnight before being moved into AMU 1. Several tests were conducted, and I was discharged two days later in much better health than when I arrived. The doctors, nurses, and all other staff were amazing, with only one or two exceptions. This review is my way of saying thank you for being so kind, caring, and compassionate.

Review titled Speedy and thorough investigation
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anne Orton - Posted on 18 June 2024
I was referred to the City hospital pulmonary department when a city wide screening found a nodule in my lung. This was as terrifying as you’d expect but with speed, care and great kindness. I was given several further tests including a PET scan and a consultant appointment within 10 days and had an all clear in record time. I keep hearing that the NHS is broken but not it seems at the City Hospital where effective teams seem to work extremely hard to provide diagnosis and treatment as quickly and efficiently as they can. My son thanks to all of you.

I saw a Dermatologist on a Sunday. She took time to find out about my condition and discussed treatment options. She gave me the treatment injections needed. A very professional service. Much appreciated.

I was referred here by 111, and after reading other reviews I was a little worried. I was in and our of the Eye department A@E within 2 hours, the nurses and Doctor I saw were friendly and very helpful, tbh I couldn't have asked for a better team.

Review titled Lack of action for simple issue
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 23 April 2024
After being recommended to go to A&E by 111, I arrived at 3am hoping to get some pain relief as I have had pain for 10 months, but it was particularly bad this night. I was triaged quickly but ended up staying until 11am (9 hours). After checking with reception for some information at 10:30, they informed me of a note on my file stating I was to go to primary care for 9am. However, I was not told this so was left in the main waiting area, meaning I missed my slot at primary care. After visiting primary care they informed that I would have to wait another 3 hours due to missing an appointment that no one told me I had. At this point I decided to leave and have had to miss work to see a gp. I understand a&e are extremely busy and this isn’t necessarily anyone’s fault, but you can imagine my frustration after being in there for 9 hours, without even being offered any form of pain relief, or even an examination of my symptoms. If I was informed of the slot I had at 9 then this issue could’ve been solved, but unfortunately there is evidently a lack of organisation/ communication, meaning the nearly 10 hours spent there had not one single benefit to my condition. I have complete respect for the strenuous nature of working in a hospital, but I also feel as though this issue could’ve been avoided with something as simple as communication.

Review titled ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For City Hospital A&E
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Nicola Pearce - Posted on 18 March 2024
From my own experience when I attended with an injured ankle/leg on Tuesday 12 March 2024, I cannot praise the staff and the treatment I received enough. Throughout I was treated with care and respect and my wait was minimal. From being wheeled in at 10:03 a.m. I was triaged, X-rayed, and assessed, diagnosed with a fractured fibula, fitted with a compression walking boot, and crutches, and discharged with a follow-up appointment by 11:20 a.m. They were wonderful and so patient and caring in what is a very hectic, and high pressure environment. Thank you all so much, I really do appreciate you help and care. Kindest Regards Nicola Pearce.
