Review titled A&E was so well run
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by SteveB - Posted on 11 February 2023
I don't usually think about giving reviews but I have gone out of my way to give this one. I was sent to Accident & Emergency at Hull Royal by my doctor to investigate something that could have been life threatening at any time. Happily the outcome, after only 5 hours was a good one. I was very impressed by the super efficient and friendly way I was dealt with from start to finish. I registered my arrival at the "walk-in" entry point then waited my turn. The doctor was so thorough and left no stone unturned. He was fast and efficient with a no nonsense attitude. He even took blood samples himself which saved time. Like many people, I dislike this kind of thing but I can honestly say I felt nothing! He then set up x-ray and ekg tests before going to the next stage. My experience in x-ray was similar, no messing about and a quick very friendly service. Then a young nurse came to find me and she then did an ekg in another area, again friendly and very efficient. After that I waited in the public area again. The blood test results came back much quicker than expected and at that point I was called back into the consulting room. The results were discussed and my questions answered and after that I was (luckily) able to go home. After seeing varous negative Accident & Emergency news reports, I felt it was essential to balance those with my very positive experience on the 10th February 2023 at A&E in Hull. Thank you all for providing such a valuable service for when we need it at the most unexpected times. What I experienced shows how effective careful planning to create the current A&E environment and a great staff team effort to work in it can do.

Review titled Brilliant
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Samantha - Posted on 07 February 2023
When I walked into A and E, with a very sore and bruised foot, it said a 7 hour wait time, within a couple of hours that had gone up to a 10 hour and 20 min wait time, so thought I would be there along time. The nurses and consultants were working so hard to get patients seen quickly. There was even staff that brought around free tea or coffee and biscuits. After 3 and a half hours I had been seen(also had a xray in that time) and was calling a taxi to go home, fracture clinic phone call tomorrow.

Review titled Amazing care
Rated 5 stars out of 5

We had to take our son to the Beverley and Hull Royal A & E departments yesterday and then was referred to the Urology department at Castle Hill late last night. We can’t thank all the staff at each hospital enough, each and everyone of them from the reception staff to the nurses and doctors. They were all so amazing, caring and friendly. Thank you

Review titled I am in constant pain
by Caterine - Posted on 21 February 2023
I have pmr and osteoarthritis , for the last three year. First I have encountered many uninterested doctors who for some reason don't belive I have pmr. And because of this I am in pain. I no longer take steroids but I was given steriod injections which did work on my shoulders these were administrated in November. My pain has returned but I do not know when the next will take place. I have tried to call the rheumatology help line several times this week, I did manage to leave a message and someone called me back, but my phone cut this call of because I have a call bar on withheld numbers. I did try to call back but this time when I reached a dialing tone the phone line cut my call off. I started my calls on Tuesday every day till Friday but I ess unable to leave another message. I finally called the hospital help line and I gave a message to let the nurse know I was in pain. The receptionist I spoke to was very rude said that the line was paid for she could not help I must use it, I explained that I had tried my best to do this but the system was not working, reluctantly she put me through that's when I was able to speak to someone. It is Saturday now and no one has called me back or made appointment with rheumatology. This illness is not the only problem I have. I have a leg ulcer very painful and recently I had a operation to remove a polyp from my womb and now after the biopsy going to see a surgeon and consultant to see the next steps as I have cancer cells in my womb lining. And another appointment regarding surgery because a consultant feels my weight is stopping my ulcer from healing. I know this has nothing to do with rheumatology but I am in pain and dealing with everything else that is happening to me. My doctors only ever do telephone calls and I have been told repeatedly that there is nothing else they can do for me, which leaves me in a dilemma. I moved to Withernsea from west yorkshire and I do feel that I have had worse treatment here that I did there. Covid hit when my bariatric surgery was meant to take place and because I was on steroids I had gained weight and I was told before that if I did put weight on the surgery would not happen, and as I did I canceled the programme I was on. Now everything seems to be put down to my weight even the ruptured achilles heal that the surgery won't do because I am too fat. Is this the reason no one will help me with my other issues and my pain? At the moment my life is pretty rubbish I'm constantly in pain, my ulcer my knees because of the brittle bones and I suppose no one will fix this either because of the weight but happy to do bariatric surgery, but not on my knees, or ruptured achilles surly this operation is more dangerous to my life. And what if I do have womb cancer am I too fat to have an hysterectomy or not? Meanwhile am I meant to grin a bear my pain till everyone deems I am or not. This what has happening in this area that everyone has become complacent about how people like me are suffering.

Review titled Gynaecology department
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Karen leech - Posted on 14 February 2023
Didn't feel listened to ,felt my concerns were dismissed. Like the consultant didn't care about what was going on . Left for another 3months to try something else instead of going in and looking to clarify what was going on. I already suffer with painful conditions I shouldn't be getting left to deal with this aswell. Not caring amd very clinical. The nurses was lovely can't fault them at all

Review titled Denied appropriate healthcare in disgraceful time frame.
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Lélia - Posted on 16 January 2024
After just short of 3 years I recieved an appointment at Hull Gyneoology. The consultant said they woild not proceed with surgery for me even though they are aware that surgery is the only solution to my painful & visible prolapse. The consultant then published the report stating I had turned down any surgery. My GP followed up with another referral & Hull gyneocology rejected it. My GP who is awatr of my disabling condition has referred me for a 3rd time. I am still waiting for an appointment now 4 years since my injury.
