Thank you to the marvellous team of Nurses and Surgeons in the Day Care Centre. From the moment I arrived, reception staff were efficient and pleasant. Nursing staff and Surgeon made me feel at ease, warm and caring in their approach. First class service by everyone I came into contact with. The medical team worked together like clockwork. Teamwork at its best! Thank you!

Review titled Accident and Emergency Majors - lovely staff
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by VJo - Posted on 29 October 2023
I was advised by 111 that I needed to attend Good Hope hospital for low heart rate within the hour. The ladies in majors who dealt with me - taking observations etc were so kind. Reassuring, happy to ask Nurses what was happening on my behalf . Arranged breakfast for myself knowing I hadn’t eaten before attending. The Dr after seeing me twice in majors said he was happy for me to go home as long as own GP arranged heart monitor. Hopefully she will. I was booked in and had bloods taken, ECG and checked over and sent home within four hours. When I came out the waiting room was full - These Healthcare Assistants were fantastic and very calming with the odd ‘difficult’ patient they had - wish I had their patience. Hopefully they will receive this positive feedback

Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Emma archer - Posted on 13 October 2023
We came in for a day procedure and cannot commend the staff on ward 2 any higher! I couldn't thank the nursing and health care assistants and porters enough for how kind, supportive, thoughtful, funny and empathetic- personal for me or my financee! The hugs and chats meant the world!

Review titled Poor attitudes
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 October 2023
Had a glucose test and growth scan booked for the same day, no one told me the scan was in a different place to my glucose test so I missed my scan, went to the right place and was met with a disgusting attitude by the scanner because I was late. Due to no fault of my own and a total lack of communication from the hospital, she offered to still scan me but after someone else because that person wasn't late wich is understandable but there was no need for her attitude towards me. Made me feel so uncomfortable that I refused to be scanned and had to rebook it. Totally unacceptable as I have always kept my appointments.

Review titled Unhelpful
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 October 2023
I took my son to be seen as he was struggling to breath in the night as he was going through the early stages of a chest infection, firstly we got asked at a+e reception who asked us to come here, I don’t know why that has to be asked when Iv explained my son was struggling to breath in the night and then when we finally got through to children’s department we got seen rather quickly but it was empty and then trainee nurse said she’s looked him over but didn’t even listen to his chest even though she said he had pulling in his neck from struggling to breath so much but apparently you can tell his okay breathing just from looking at him and not listening to his breathing somehow and then she says she will speak to her supervisor on what to do and then when we see the supervisor she says we are going to send you to a medical centre as we don’t have any doctors for another 4-5 hours so it will be quicker for you so we say okay and as she walks off a doctor walks out and says come on the Charlie let’s have a look at you but gets told no by the nurse, she’s sending us elsewhere but I don’t get why when the doctor was there and ready to see us. Seemed like they just could not be bothered to have us there or look at my son and just blatantly lied to our faces and now 2 days later! We have to go get him checked again cause his breathing has not been sorted or cleared up when it could of all just been looked at properly when there so I would say it was all very unhelpful and Abit ridiculous

Review titled Superb service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 October 2023
I was sent to acute medical unit by my doctor after suffering chest pain through the night. The staff were amazing. Bloods and levels taken within 5 minutes of arriving. A cup of tea brought to me by the lovely friendly refreshment ladies and a junior doctor came to chat to me within half an hour. Because of my family history of heart problems I was quickly given an ecg and sent for x ray after talking to a consultant Was also given a sandwich during my time there and reassured through the whole process. Thank you all for your wonderful care.

Review titled Great service/csre
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by EmmaD - Posted on 12 October 2023
Referred to orthopaedics with a knee issue, seen a week later by Trauma and Orthopaedic team, had an urgent MRI the following day, and scan reviewed and I was seen again 8 days later in clinic. Referred for physiotherapy, and had my appointment today 2 weeks after my last orthopaedic appointment. Everything just fell into place promptly, great service all the way through. Consultant secretary was a huge help, and professional and kind. I’ve been under orthopaedic team here some years ago, and had good care, this time it was exceptional. Thank you! Here’s to a quick recovery!

Review titled Booking office problems
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Lisa Dugmore - Posted on 22 September 2023
Despite ringing multiple numbers daily for the last two weeks and leaving all my details I’ve not had a single call back. Pre op over a month ago and still no op date or way to find out when it will be. So frustrating and I don’t understand why they cannot reply?
