Review titled NHS Hospital (Hinchingbrooke Hospital) Review
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 March 2023
I was in a road accident where a car hit me off my motorcycle and required stitching and x-rays. The waiting times on the ambulance arriving were satisfactory and well, but as soon as I was inside the hospital the waiting times were very lacking and slow. I was in a queue behind 10 other people who have arrived for check ups and minor issues whilst I was in pain and bleeding out of my leg in a wheelchair in reception. It was a Sunday night I understand so perhaps less staff, but I was not prioritised with any emergency care just simply left in reception for hours, and further waiting times after being slightly treated on and off. After stitches and medication I was finally treated at 3am. They didn’t offer me a bed to stay in for the night and sent me home in a taxi that I paid for (they offered free transport but had to wait for a further 8 hours to arrive). My experience with this hospital wasn’t satisfactory due to not being prioritised and the waiting times were extremely slow. I was treated in the end and bandaged but overall not a good experience with this hospital sadly.

Review titled Excellent Treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Elaine Albury - Posted on 29 March 2023
I had injured my leg, and on arriving at the drop off point, a security guard offered to get a wheel chair for me, so helpful. From the initial triage check, to the A&E nurse/doctor and x-ray team I want to say how courteous and professional they all were.

Review titled Amazing care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 February 2023
Tonight my husband, son and I were involved in a head on car accident, we were hit by a drunk driver. The care we received both by the hinchingbrooke paramedics and the a&e dept was amazing, efficient, caring, attentive, calm, reassuring and thorough. They made my 7 year old son feel so safe & relaxed and the doctors explained everything so clearly to us. I really did invisage a very long night, and that would have been fine as I know how busy hospitals staff are, but we were seen by paramedics within 10 mins of the crash, we saw a nurse as soon as we arrived at a&e & was home within 3 hours. Albeit with bruises, pain & shock but I just wanted to say how very lucky the community is to have such a great NHS team! Thank you!

Review titled Fantastic Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mr David Dearden - Posted on 14 February 2023
On Sunday night I collapsed. 111 sent an emergency ambulance and within a short time I was at accident and emergency. There was no waiting and I was seen immediately by a doctor, the nursing staff were all very professional. After the appropriate treatment I was able to go home on Monday morning. I could not have expected anything better, thank you,

The service and staff have been brilliant from start to finish. I was informed and reassured throughout my experience. Every member of staff I came in to contact with were lovely. Particularly the Endoscopy team who performed my colonoscopy.

Review titled Perfect, could not be bettered
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Tony Orvis - Posted on 20 January 2023
I attended the Treatment Centre on 19th January 2023 for the removal of a patch of skin cancer on my face. Everyone I saw were very professional and friendly. My procedure took place on time and at every stage I was told what was happening and was completely relaxed. I cannot express just how impressed I was with everyone involved. Many thanks.

I want to praise the excellent care given by all the staff at Hinchingbrooke A&E Department to my elderly father on 19th January after he'd had a fall. He couldn't have been looked after better. A huge thank you to all the dedicated staff.

Review titled Continuous cancellation
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 January 2023
My husband was due to have an operation in December. As I'm a school teacher I arranged cover for my class only to have my husband's operation cancelled. His operation was set for 11th January, again I arranged cover for my class and yet again his operation was cancelled this time due to a bed shortage. This cancellation is not helping my husband who is finding it very difficult to cope with and also with me having to arrange and keep cancelling staff cover. This is not what we expected to happen after waiting nearly 3 years.
