  1. Review titled Excellent staff and treatment

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Mrs Julie A Evans - Posted on 10 October 2024

    I attended the Theatre suite 09/10/24 for a pain injection. I was nervous before attending but didn't need to be as the staff put me at ease straight away. My Consultant and every other member of staff I met were fantastic. kind and really looked after me. Thank you so much all for making it a positive experience for me. In the nicest possible way I hope I do not need to come back to you but if I do I would have no hesitation. Keep doing what your doing you are all a credit to the Nhs.

    My 90 year old mother attended the Theatre Suite at Ilkeston hospital for a cataract operation. The nurses, Doctors and all other staff were very kind and considerate to her needs.

    Made an appointment at the UTC to get a relatively minor injury looked at. Was taken care of within minutes of checking in at reception. Nurses did a great job and I’m very grateful to them. Thanks again!

  4. Review titled Shame all NHS services aren't like this one

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 23 March 2024

    I needed an operation on my wrist and I was very concerned and worried about it, scared really. On arriving at the day theatre unit I was immediately made to feel safe and welcome, the reception staff, nursing staff, medical staff in fact all staff were friendly and extremely professional, putting me at ease. The operation was completed in a short period of time, and I was given all the support and information I needed, to help me understand what was happening next and over the next 6 to 8 weeks. I cant speak highly enough about this experience and how my care was managed, its a shame not all NHS care is this good and professional.

    Unhelpful and uncomapssionate. My wife was in terrible pain and they sent us away. I was disgusted with them! Don't go near this pace.

  7. Review titled Ilkeston Emergency Treatment Centre

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by David J Brown - Posted on 16 January 2024

    Having unexpectedly cut my thumb, I rang the 111 service to request an appointment at the Ilkeston Emergency Treatment Centre. I was given an appointment within the hour and was seen within a few minutes of arrival at the hospital. The service provided by the nurses who saw me was excellent, they quickly dealt with all of my questions and concerns, I had my thumb cleaned and dressed and was ready to leave within 15 minutes. It really does make such a big difference when people are kind and understanding to you in these circumstances, so I just wanted to say ‘thank you’ to everyone concerned for their professionalism and for looking after me. I feel we are very fortunate to have this service available here in Ilkeston without having to travel to the A&E Departments at Nottingham or Derby. Keep up the good work and thank you !

  9. Review titled Emergency Treatment Department Reception

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 26 October 2023

    I visited the department today unaware that it had changed from a walk in centre and was disgusted at the attitude of the rude receptionist. I explained that I was unaware of the changes and that I had travelled on 2 buses to the hospital as i do not have transport. It was visually obvious that I was in severe foot pain and was having problems walking but she was not interested in trying to help my situation. The receptionist told me to go back home, ring 111, make an appointment and then return for treatment or to catch another bus to Ripley Hospital. When i stated i did not know where Ripley Hospital was she just shrugged her shoulders. Her attitude was disgusting.She then stated that there was no available appointments for the rest of the day so there was no point i ringing 111. There was one only 1 patient waiting in the waiting room. On the way home I was in so much pain I tripped and strained my foot causing more pain. As the receptionist had stated that there were no appointments left for that day I phoned my GP and have to phone back at 8 o clock o the morning.

  10. Review titled Very efficient

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 09 October 2023

    I attended a booked appointment at the UTC today following a 111 call about a hand injury. Within 1 hour I had been assessed, had an X-ray, received the results and advice - fantastic service from a polite and professional nurse. My only comment would be that I felt very sorry for the receptionist who repeatedly had to explain to people turning up at the door that it was now appointment only - people had been told to attend by their GP’s and some were quite angry at the receptionist simply doing her job. Perhaps this needs to be communicated better.
