Review titled Front Desk
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 May 2023
The two front desk women were incredibly rude. Upon arrival the First Lady (volunteer) Was extremely vociferous. When leaving the woman behind the front desk made zero eye contact with either of us when she was asked if we needed a ticket. She spoke as if indignant due to being asked a question. Perhaps personnel need to retrain these ladies. It was genuinely an unpleasant experience. I’d like to add the 3 other staff we encountered that day were wonderful.

Review titled Amazing maternity unit
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 May 2023
This is an amazing maternity unit staffed by a great team who for both of my children ensured a safe delivery where I felt listened to and supported. The only thing I would say is that post-pandemic, there is more of a 'musical chairs' quality about getting assigned to a midwife and obstetrician - you seldom see the same person twice. However, the individuals themselves represent the best of the NHS.

Review titled Slow, Unsympathetic and Unfriendly
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 April 2023
I came to A&E with a close relative. We arrived at c. midnight (they came in an ambulance, I followed by car). They seemed to prioritise patients who were noisy, drunk or demanded attention. We weren't any of those. The ambulance crew were told off when they brought my relative in. I was told off by the same member of staff for laying down on the seats at 2.30am, exhausted and needing to sleep (a snappy, angry member of staff). Very slow service. No need for rudeness from the staff. Don't take it out on others if you're having a tough shift.

Review titled Disappointed
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 March 2023
There was a general feeling of disorganisation, starting with the inability to find any parking on site, total lack of signage to the appropriate department, and general impression that there were a lot of staff not really knowing or very interested in what they were doing. I would say that the procedure I went in for was carried out adequately, but that is the best I can say. I had a follow up phone call the following day, which I had to ask the person to call me back as I had an urgent occurrence during the call. They did not call me back. General impression is of poor overall management. Core of permanent staff trying to manage a lot of contract staff, and not really succeeding. Majority just going through the motions (no pun intended).

As usual the speed of being seen and professionalism of all the staff were spot on, I'm always filled with confidence when I use Harrogate Hospital

Review titled All round great experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 January 2023
From arriving at the department to hand over to my ‘lift’ home, my experience was excellent. All the staff were caring and kind and explained everything to me with patience. A colonoscopy is not a pleasant experience but the department made it as good as possible. I would urge anyone to take up the opportunity for this procedure, if it’s offered. Well done to all the personnel involved.

Review titled Amazing care from everyone
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jo Verity - Posted on 07 November 2022
I broke my Ankle badly last week and required surgery. As a nurse myself I understand the importance of a good bedside manner and every member of staff I encountered at Harrogate Hospital was kind and helpful, even when they were very busy. I was seen quickly in A&E and the staff made me feel reassured with their knowledge and ability. Everyone was very kind and despite the pain, it was a very positive experience. I then spent a night on the Harlow ward, before being transferred to Nidderdale Orthopaedic ward. From the medical staff, nursing staff and support staff I felt very well cared for. The care I witnessed of other patients was also exceptional and I felt reassured that regardless of the current stresses the NHS is under, our wonderful work force continue to care above and beyond. Thank you for making a very stressful and painful experience far more pleasant than I expected.
