Review titled Outstanding Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 30 October 2024
I was referred to ENT and as the waiting list is long an MRI scan was arranged which I had within weeks. I then needed another scan which was done a week later. The Consultant phoned me the next day to say everything was normal. I never expected to receive such personal service. Everyone I came into contact with, the secretaries, scanning staff and Consultant were so caring towards me. I cannot praise ENT and the imaging department highly enough. Thank you so much.

Review titled Unable to fault
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Liam Dodd - Posted on 11 October 2024
I had two appointments in the last 10 days after an accident on holiday resulted in hearing loss. The two nurses I dealt with were fantastic. I had only been waiting 5-10 minutes before being seen on both occasions. They were thorough and pleasant and I didn't get the feeling I was a burden or that they were in a hurry to get me back out the door. They both talked me through the process and explained what they were doing. I was offered options and really good advice for the future. For what I was expecting to be an unpleasant experience, in reality, was quite the opposite. Thank you Ipswich NHS and the two fantastic nurses.

Review titled Great practice
Rated 4 stars out of 5

I needed lycra supports for my legs so I went to the orthotics department. I have a rare disability so I bring a lot of lived experience to the table which can sometimes be ignored by doctors who are not familiar with my disability. This was not the case here. They allowed me to explain how my legs work and what I need. It was like we were a team trying to make supports which work for my legs together. Great experience!

Review titled Excellent A&E Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Gillian Wilkes - Posted on 23 September 2024
I am 84 yrs old and had a fall onto a tiled floor whilst visiting my daughter in Suffolk. I hit my head and badly gashed the side of my hand. I also had extensive bruising, and thought a broken wrist or hand. Although assessed quickly I did have a 2 and half hour wait for treatment. Once taken through to see a doctor I can only find praise for the care and attention I received. The young doctor who supervised was very kind and considerate as were other doctors who were consulted. The male nurse practitioner who stitched my wound and generally treated me was quite outstanding. A big thank you to all concerned.

Review titled Excellent care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Hattie Mumby - Posted on 02 September 2024
I’d like to thank all the staff on the Bergholt ward for looking after our little girl so well today. From the moment we arrived, the care we received was very thorough and quick. All staff made us feel heard and like we were in safe hands. We are so grateful and while the department was busy we didn’t feel we had to wait long for anything and you could see that the team worked really well together. Thank you all so much.

My daughter has just given birth at Ipswich Hospital. I was pleasantly surprised by the restrictions on visitor numbers, and the buzz in system/locked ward door. This is so much better than when I had my babies here 30 years ago. It feels safer, quieter and calmer. Well done! 👏

Review titled Lovely bunch of people.
Rated 5 stars out of 5

A first appointment at Dermatology. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, everyone we met was kind, helpful and friendly. Great service in the unit itself but add to that every staff member we met on corridors, photo unit etc. You know a good workplace when staff talk so highly of it. Well done, Ipswich!
