I would like to thank all staff in the endoscopy unit for their kindness, care and thoughtfulness they showed my stepdad who came in this morning for a colonoscopy. Everyone from the receptionist to the consultant could not have treated him better.

My wife and I visited The Lakes for a few days over Easter.When we left home In Frodsham,Cheshire,I was not feeling too bright but thought I would improve.After three days my symptoms were much worse and after failure to illicit any positive response from 101 and a visit to a pharmacist we had no alternative but to visit the A & E department at Barrow for must needed help. The response from your receptionist to “visitors “ the reception nurse, the triarge nurse was excellent.The Doctor who attended us and carried out an examination was was charming and efficient. May we sincerely thank you for providing such a positive and friendly service.

Review titled Poor practice
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Katrina Watson - Posted on 04 February 2023
I am reviewing as an advocate for my elderly mum. She was Abandoned at the hospital entrance for three hours while waiting for hospital transport home . Mum is completely dependant on others for mobility and toileting. She had to rely on the kindness of a stranger to get her food and water. She was returned at home at 15:00 having been sat in her incontinence pads from 9:30 . I am appalled by the lack of care and respect towards my mum and hope this will result in lessons learnt and an apology to my mum!

Your Review: Everything, from the nurses assessment to the doctor's was 5 star. The nurses were welcoming, efficient and professional, your mind was immediately put at ease. I was impressed with the doctor, she paid great attention to detail and fully explained everything.

From the initial assessment by Choc to the assessment in A&E, everything was spot on. On arrival at A&E, the receptionist was kind and helpful, the Choc team member was welcoming, and explained everything. The A&E doctor was kind, welcoming, and paid great attention to detail explaining everything.

We came in at the weekend with an infant with worrying symptoms. Seen quickly and with great professionalism and care. It was clear the department was stretched and very busy but we experienced only superb care and support. Thank you Furness General team, you are exemplary.

Review titled Fabulous staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by grateful patient - Posted on 27 January 2023
Went to A&E at 10 am. Within 10 mins was triaged and sent to x ray. Seen within 15 minutes & told to return to a&e to await results. As we arrived back we were being shouted. Luckily only a very bad sprain, so had a boot fitted & discharged. All this done in 1 hour. Many thanks to all of the fantastic staff who were professional and friendly. Once again many thanks to all of you.
