Review titled Friendly efficient professional
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Bastiaan Veugelers - Posted on 11 August 2023
My son's foot injury on the last day of our family holiday was diagnosed quickly as a fracture and treated with moon boot. Copy of xrays were provided to take to my local fracture clinic. NHS at it's best, makes me proud again to be able to use it for family and work in it as a consultant

Review titled My experience of service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Simon Stinchcombe - Posted on 08 June 2023
What a fantastic department. Smoothly run, plenty of staff tasked with a specific job roll, all tests well explained to you by clearly knowledgeable staff, all questions answered. As a result of the work they have done nothing in the department there is no long waiting between different test's If only all out patients departments could take a leaf out of their book they could all run as smoothly as this department Well done to all the staff. Best hospital experience ever, and I've had a few over the years. Well done again

Review titled Faultless A & E experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Derek Avery - Posted on 19 June 2023
04/06/23 10.15 am Arrived A&E reception having fallen and grazed R/H arm from wrist to above elbow. Swiftly through Triage and after a wait of 10-15 min I was seen and the wounds examined. Shortly after, the areas of skin that had been scraped down in the fall were returned to their correct position and the areas dressed. Advice for re-dressing was given. All the medical staff were kind, understanding and a perfect example of what I believe an A & E service within the NHS service should be. All the medical staff who have redressed my wounds subsequently have praised the treatment given to me originally and state that the efforts of those at Furness General Hospital have assisted the healing and much reduced any permanent scarring. I am deeply grateful to them for their skills that enabled me to carry on enjoying my holiday from which I have just returned. Thank you very much.

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!
