Review titled Absolute discrace
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Tristan Gregory - Posted on 19 January 2024
My girlfriend was referred to Frimley Park by her doctor...they Lost bloods, which had to be re-taken several hours later. The gynie dept couldn't find her in A&E as she had been moved... 8.5hrs and still waiting....complete nonsense and lack of professionalism.

Review titled Falta de ética
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Sandra - Posted on 04 March 2024
pediatric emergency nurses are inhumane! The two times I went, one with my daughter with a fever of 39.6 and the other with my baby with a fever of 39.4. On those two occasions they were insensitive, unresponsive and unethical. They saw my daughter with a high fever and they didn't give her anything, I had to measure her fever and give her ibuprofen and paracetamol, put cold compresses on her and take care of her until her fever went down. My baby's case was exactly the same. I had to tell the nurse and she was just walking around, smiling, eating potatoes. Another nurse took the urine patch off my baby so hard that it left his testicles red and made him scream in pain. They took two drops urine tests on my son and with that they told me a result! . Really, that area to be childish is very intractable and inhumane. I hope you don't have to go to that place! Because if you are going to go you will have to take care of your children alone (with your thermometer, your medicines and manage alone for many hours until the doctor shows up) and who knows whose results they will give you.

Dear Sandra, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this feedback. Please accept my sincere apologies on behalf of the Trust for the way you report you and your children were treated.

Review titled Compassion for an elderly agitated patient
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Christopher Mackie - Posted on 08 December 2023
I was staying in f6 bay c on the night of the 6th of Dec. During the night there was an agitated and confused elderly gentleman who was waking every hour requiring staff intervention. Other patients showed significant frustration at being woken by him. What stuck me was the compassion shown each time by the staff which at times required up to 3 to intervene. They showed the patient respect and empathy, without showing their own frustrations'. Each staff member took the time to introduce themselves and to explain what they needed the patient to do and why, often having to repat the instructions multiple times using different language. The hospital was I believe at maximum capacity and near breaking point which made the staff's treatment even more impressive. Having seen my own elderly father in the same situation at Slough back in February not receiving such great care, Frimley's staff's treatment of a patient in the same situation was exemplary.

Dear Christopher, Thank you very much for your feedback. It is lovely to hear that you observed such professional care and kindness from our colleagues on F6 – I will share your feedback with the team who will I am sure be pleased that their patience and kindness was observed.

Review titled Arterial Nose Bleed Fixed and Quickly
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Graeme Gourlay - Posted on 21 December 2023
This was an outstanding experience. I had an unexpected arterial nose bleed that was quite extreme at 9:30pm in the evening. The whole process of getting it fixed was incredibly good. Booked in quickly, first pass triage in 10 minutes and 30 minutes later an ENT specialist gets to work fixing it and knows exactly what to do and every staff member was pleasant and professional.

Review titled Terrible disabled parking problems
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 29 November 2023
For disabled parking when you eventually manage to find a car space (25 minutes wasted) and then find a ticket machine youre only then told to go back to your car and get your blue badge and then go all the way to the front kiosk to show your badge. Having gone back to the car and got the blue badge and then off to the front kiosk it was closed anyway. Terrible set up to a- not inform disabled people they need to attend the kiosk with their badge before they get to the ticket machine and then b- request disabled people walk all the way to the kiosk and back with their badge. must be a better system.

I experienced the best care ever while having my baby at the hospital. The midwives were extremely hands on with both me and my baby. The 5 days we spent at the hospital were amazing, until today I remember my amazing pregnancy experience until I was discharged with baby because it was amazing.

by Christine Mckeon - Posted on 23 November 2023
I was recently admitted to the madu ward of Frimley park hospital, and I would like to say a big thankyou to all the staff there for their kindness and brilliant care. They made my stay as comfortable as they possibly could and they all worked their socks off. I had some lovely chats to a nurse who was on a placement, and I hope they manage to keep hold of her as she was fantastic. They are all a credit to the nhs ,once again thankyou for my care.

Review titled Problems with ventilation and plumbing
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Rob Mellor - Posted on 12 December 2023
Having just spent a number of days in the Cardiac Ward thought it may be helpful to add a few comments regarding the service provisions in the ward. Clearly there is a problem with the ventilation and extraction insofar the the staff resort to opening the fire door for periods of time.This results in some patients feeling comfortable whilst others remain cold. The toilets and showers need refurbishing with one out of order(which I reported. Also my wife and daughter thought there was a smell of urine when they first walked in. I cannot confirm this as I have no sense of smell. But having said all that,the care was excellent and the catering 5Star.

Dear Rob, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your recent experience of care at Frimley Health. Please accept my apologies on behalf of the Trust for the issues with the environment you encountered on the ward. I will share your feedback with the Estates and Facilities team who will I am sure follow up on and investigate the points you raise. I am sure you are aware that for issues of this nature it may be that there are no ‘quick fixes’ that can be applied but at least there will be a greater awareness of the issues which may lead to escalation up the ‘priorities’ list. I was delighted to read that you rated all the other aspects of your care as ‘excellent’ and that the catering was to your satisfaction. I will share your feedback with the teams involved in these aspects of delivering the experience. Kind regards, Alex Jackson, Patient Experience Manager, Frimley Health Foundation Trust
