Review titled Great Practice.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Carol Pisani - Posted on 04 February 2025
I was seen on time. The staff were very courteous and explained who they were and what would happen during the procedure. They checked that I understood what would happen. During the procedure they made sure I was feeling well and could feel no pain. I was kept fully informed what was happening at each stage. When the procedure was finished they again made sure I was feeling fine. The explanation and demonstration of how to use the equipment was very thorough. I really do not think there could be any improvement.

Review titled Thank goodness for their professionalism
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Visited with a escalating skin infection previously reviewed twice by remote Gp service. The person who review me, thought differently to the initial diagnosis, took the time, consulted with her senior colleague, and identified shingles. This early diagnosis and treatment, saved me a world of pain, considering how bad it could have got on the face, so to the 2 ladies that helped me, thank you, your professionalism and diligence is appreciated.

All staff were very polite and helpful, the Urology nurse was very good at explaining the procedure which was carried out relatively painlessly.

Today I met two very friendly and caring and joyous female radiologists that put me at ease as soon as they saw me and dealt with me very professionally and with great care. They worked very well together and are a good team, especially in this fiend of investigation. Thank you ladies.

Review titled Fantastic Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Danielle - Posted on 05 February 2025
I would just like to say a massive thank you to all the staff who were part of my care whilst I was in Fordham Ward. Also to the anaesthesia team before I had my surgery on my ankle that required an internal fixation procedure. The level of care was outstanding and they certainly put me at ease, as I was very nervous before my surgery. Thank you to everyone who took care of me from start to finish. Including the ward clerk who went above and beyond in sorting out my paperwork.

Review titled Unable to contact A&E re: very elderly relative
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 December 2024
The automatic call handling system for the hospital is useless and it took about 6 attempts for it to act get all the way through the announcement and allow me to speak to a receptionist. The receptionist was very helpful and put me through to A&E. A&E phone rang and rang until an announcement informed me there was nobody to answer call and to call back later. I was trying to get an update on a very elderly relative who had been in A&E all night. I had no information as to their condition or even if they have had something to eat or drink in the last 15 hours. Dreadful service!

Review titled Lovely professional staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 01 December 2024
My father was admitted via blue light ambulance. We were very frightened & he was extremely worried. The staff, without exception, were kind, compassionate & professional. The unit was so busy. He was seen in rat, Majors & amsdec. The staff were always polite, friendly & explained everything very clearly despite the pressure they were clearly under. My father was safe. My only criticism is that he could have been reviewed & discharged earlier.
