Review titled Disgusting level of care
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Jasmine Bradshaw - Posted on 20 May 2024
Waited 7 hours to see a doctor in Childrens an and e. Waiting room wasn’t full but nobody was getting called through to see the doctor. Plenty of HCAs and nurses roaming around looking lost but no doctors!? Nurses sat at station on phones and having a chit chat with one another. When my extremely unwell child finally got seen we were told two different things by two different doctors it went from him being nil by mouth to us being sent home because the doctor said he had perked up - which was because they had gave him medication for him to then only get worse again once we got home. I phoned Childrens an and e and was told I’d have to start the whole process again of waiting. Absolutely disgusting level of care by people who are meant to be looking after us. The hospital is not fit for purpose

Review titled Ward 18 lri
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Amelia - Posted on 16 May 2024
Well after a bit of a wobble at the start, my 88 year old father was admitted again to ward 18 under plastic surgery as no be Don there ward he went to ward 18. I cant thank them enough for going going out of their way to look after my father, making sure he was OK and looked after him well. Even though I did have a little moan, they listened and help me and my father, care from the house keepers, hca, nurse, ward sister, matron was outstanding. All he keeps telling everyone is how they all waved him off when he left the ward. So thank you to each and everyone of you. Also a mention the Kinmonth unit where he stopped for the night, yet again staff outstanding nothing was to much trouble. Very hard working staff on both wards. Each and everyone is a credit to the LRI. Thank you.

Review titled Highly recommend
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Tom Montgomery - Posted on 02 June 2024
I was highly impressed with my visit to Leicester Royal Infirmary. Arriving at 2 pm, I went through triage, x-rays, and received a diagnosis within three hours, with a practitioner with initials Lg. handling the diagnosis and displaying excellent bedside manner. After tearing my Acl, I had many questions about recovery, and she patiently explained everything thoroughly. I am very grateful for the entire team's help, especially Lg, on Saturday 2 June.

Review titled Friendly caring team and efficient diagnosis and treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Suzanne Wall - Posted on 04 May 2024
Sent to Eye Casualty yesterday by my GP. Everyone I met was friendly, clear and helpful. The nurse who examined my eye was kind, gentle and reassuring, gaining a second opinion before full diagnosis. I left 2 hours later, feeling cared for. To receive a follow -up appointment this morning for a week's time was an added boost and conveyed thoroughness of practice. Credit and thanks for excellent standards of care and treatment.

Review titled Thank you for such excellent care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 May 2024
My husband (nearly 76 years old) was advised by Loughborough Walk-in Centre to attend LRI for heart checks and arrived at 9pm Thursday 2nd May. His condition was not acute, although needed this to be confirmed because of his current health problems. The A & E department was packed and the flow of patients thoroughout the night was relentless. My husband had all the necessary tests and we eventually got home at 5am on Friday morning, reassured that my husband's heart was not in failure. I am writing to thank and praise all the staff concerned who were doing an amazing job and never stopped all night. They were kind, caring and efficient giving us the time and explaining each procedure. Thank you all at the LRI emergency department.
