Review titled Ambulatory Care Unit
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Chris Jackson - Posted on 13 October 2024
Diagnosed with a DVT after being on a long flight . A&E very quick to carry out D-Dimer test . Referred for scan , which was carried out very quickly by two lovely ladies in the imaging dept . Got sent to ACU after the scan and was seen very quickly by Nurse Practitioner , who answered all my questions . From the moment I walked into Hinchingbrooke I was met by cheerful staff throughout , from cleaning staff , reception and nursing staff . Easy to knock the NHS , but they are doing their best and I have nothing but praise for everyone involved in my journey through this hospital . Thank you

Review titled Great service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I attended Hinchingbrooke Hospital for a chest ultrasound appointment 1.5 hours early on 05.10.24 and was seen early, the staff members were amazing - Special mention to the team on duty and whilst I know you cannot use real names - these ladies were so friendly, professional and were kind enough to recognise I had to attend and leave in good time to catch a bus service home to a remote area. Please could you make sure this feedback is given to the managers of that team, both NHS workers were a credit to the profession. Thank you so much.

This morning I attended the CT Colonoscopy dept and would just like to say that some lovely people conducted the scan, also the nurse who took down my details was very helpful I was seen promptly and dealt with very kindly. Apologies, I cannot remember their names, but thank you.

Review titled Amazing Treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I popped into A&E on the advice of my GP at 6am on Monday morning. I was triaged quickly and an assessment made within an hour and a half that an abcess needed to be drained, the reception and A&E team were great. I was then moved to the ACU (Ambulatory Care Unit) where further assessment was carried out by the general surgery team and I was given instructions not to eat or drink just as a lovely volunteer came around offering free coffee and sandwiches (bad luck there!)... I was then given fluids, antibiotics and liquid paracetamol until I was advised I would need surgery and was moved to the Daisy ward. Everyone on the ACU and Daisy ward were more than willing to help and guide me through the process that was about to unfold. Initially they thought local anaesthetic might be suitable, but it was later decided a general anaesthetic would be better. I was officially admitted to the hospital and had surgery at 5pm that evening. I woke in the recovery room feeling fine and was taken back to the ward. I was monitored overnight and discharged by 11am the next morning. I can't praise all the staff and volunteers at Hinchingbrooke enough and wanted to leave this review as thanks... you are all amazing!

Review titled Well organised and caring
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 April 2024
I had a sudden onset problem which the emergency department managed quickly and effectively. After triage, I was taken to an ambulatory care centre. This service very much exceeded my expectations. Within a few hours I’d had an ECG, blood tests and a review by a very thorough and kind doctor. The nursing team were cheerful and competent. The waiting area had a TV and at one point tea was provided (I was also offered a sandwich, had I wanted something to eat). I think we are perhaps conditioned to expect a difficult experience with an emergency presentation, but I was discharged after about 4.5 hours with a diagnosis and some medication. I felt really well cared for. Hopefully I won’t need to attend A&E again but the staff there and in the ambulatory care area are doing a fantastic job.
