  2. Review titled Discharge

    Rated 2 stars out of 5

    by Deborah Lynn Stevenson - Posted on 23 November 2024

    After being kicked off the ward as they needed the bed I sat in the discharge lounge for over 4 hours waiting for medication and paperwork, after all this time I received 1 weeks supply of antibiotics instead of 3 weeks and no discharge letter or anything to be sent to my gp I am still poorly and recovery will take a long time but now I have no way of repeating the prescription and only 5 days of antibiotics, this has upset me terribly having been shoved from one room to another with sepsis and finally 2 weeks later to not have the correct meds or paperwork to aid my recovery is just too much.

    by Kayleigh - Posted on 21 October 2024

    Came to the Children’s Emergency Department at the weekend with my 12 year old Daughter. We were overwhelmed with the patience , kindness and professionalism we were shown . From the initial triage right through to diagnosis and discharge I can honestly say I am so impressed with the care we received . The waiting area and triage rooms were very clean and tidy. A huge Thank you to every member of staff.

  8. Review titled Great care and treatment

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Lesley Halford - Posted on 02 September 2024

    I experienced excellent care and treatment from my first out patient appointment to the point of discharge from hospital and beyond. Everyone involved in my care was very professional and efficient ,caring, compassionate and did an excellent job. The communication was superb and they did everything they said they would. I had great care from the surgical team, the ward staff, the pre-op team and the stoma team - I really could not fault any of them. The environment was spotlessly clean and the Enhanced Recovery Programme really helped me understand what to expect post surgery. I was obviously quite anxious but they were reassuring and kind and I can’t thank them enough for having hot me through this with the best possible outcome. Thank you

  9. Review titled A&E Shamblea

    by Danielle Power - Posted on 15 August 2024

    These last few days have been super scary for me. The 1st 24 hours waiting in a&e I've never experienced anything like it, the level of care wasn't good enough. One Health Care Nurse kept telling me she was counting down the hours to home time 'only 7 hours to go' lucky you I said, Another was huffing and puffing at me as I asked for toilet roll so I could use the commode, asking me very abruptly are you doing a NO1 or NO2 😬 who does that??? 4 hours to wait for pain relief, 1 hour to wait for a drink and God knows how long to wait for a poxy biscuit because I'd not eaten for 30 odd hours. Oh and not to forget when a doctor came to visit me in the dark to tell me they suspect I've had a mini stroke and I need an mri scan, after I broke down crying they left me straight away shutting the door behind them. No compassion at all. Eventually a bed for me on the fabulous Clifford Ward that felt like an actual hotel, everyone was lovely and very helpful. Some A&E staff are not in the right job.
