  1. Review titled Neurosurgery Hull

    by Freddy - Posted on 21 June 2023

    I have just read a previous post regarding Neurosurgery. My GP sent an urgent referral to the Neurosurgery. I am unable to find out when I am likely to get an appointment. I believe patients should be given some indication as to when they are likely to be seen.

  2. Review titled Wonderful care and outcome

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Christine Wilson - Posted on 18 May 2023

    I am so pleased with the results of my two eye operations - one to repair a hole in my retina when the lens was also replaced and the second for a cataract. The care was exemplary and the outcome has left me without the need for prescription glasses or contact lenses. I only need simple reading glasses and my eyesight was incredibly poor before. I have not seen this well for over 50 years!!

  5. Review titled Decent experience

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 10 April 2023

    All staff were very reassuring and stayed calm even when the alarms were sounding. We were offered a hot drink and communication was exceptional. The doctor we were with called us to the front desk to let us know that his shift was ending, and that he would hand us over to someone else. We really appreciated this as it felt as though we were being kept in the loop. The fresh air machines were very welcome!! Sometimes emergency departments can smell a bit strong, but the machines ensured there were no unwanted odours lingering. A nice touch! There is a staff notice board with the word "Polite" running vertically down the page and this is displayed opposite rooms 12 and 13; there are four spelling errors on it. We were seen very quickly all things considered, but we were waiting quite a long time for some ECG results. That aside, this is a very nice A&E department.

  6. Review titled 11 hour wait!

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 19 April 2023

    Got there early hours in the morning, my partner had bad chest pains. Was told it would be an 11 hour wait, hadn't managed to bring money with us so was unable to get food that whole time. Not enough available toilets (1 men, 1 woman, and 1 disabled) for the whole of the emergency department. In the disabled toilet there was no emergency pull cord either which is a big issue if a disabled person had an accident in the toilet. Then people was repeatedly called through the night, not just once or twice but nearly every hour on the hour when it was obvious they had left. Overall I understand people are there that could easily be seen elsewhere but those that can be seen elsewhere should be turned away at the reception. Patients who can eat should be offered some biscuits or a sandwich at regular intervals.

  7. Review titled Fantastic staff

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 11 March 2023

    My mum spent the day in a&e being assessed and waiting for a bed on the ward. The staff were so nice and kind, always checking in on how mum was and offering us drinks. Their care and compassion for my mum, who has dementia was fantastic. Thank you!

  8. Review titled Wait for Urgent Appointment - no support

    by Psicocat - Posted on 27 March 2023

    I am waiting for an urgent neurosurgery appointment. Got through on number given after 45 minutes. Can't give me an update as they don't have that info. Transferred to another number 10 minutes later to be asked why I'm ringing that number! Explained I was transferred. Was told they can't help me, but amounts for urgent are about a month wait. Its been 7 weeks now. Was told it could be August, they can't tell me more.

  9. Review titled Visit to Gynaecology Department Hull Royal Infirmary

    by Patricia5787 - Posted on 28 March 2023

    Managed to find a parking space. The new system of payment is better as you pay when you leave the car park which means that you don't have to worry about and late appointments. It is pleasant walking in the grounds of HRI and the department I visited was very efficient. I have no complaints with the NHS. or Hull Hospital. A & E is completely different, I think it could work better without Government interference, targets etc. The staff work as hard as they can. I think they need more staff and encouragement.

  10. Review titled Outrageous

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 05 March 2023

    The staff were friendly thats the only positive. I filled 111 form. Went to urgent care centre. Waited 4 hours for results only to be told to go to a and e. Waited five hours for heart results. After five hours we left without the results because we had been in hospitals since 11am to 9pm. We didn't eat or drink. No one was wearing face masks. I am likely to die with stress from waiting and contracting an illness from being around people for so long with no protection. Absolutely awful. No wonder the bbc said we have the worse service in the whole of the uk
