Review titled Undeniably terrible experience.
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Victoria - Posted on 28 June 2024
Undeniably terrible experience. Waited here 7 hours (9pm to 4am) with my 3 year old before giving up and leaving to just go back home. Patients that arrived hours after us were considered ‘priority’ and were called back to see the doctor before my son. No excuses for this! Why was my son’s condition not taken seriously? Is my child not a priority to the NHS? It’s a shame. He vomited over 20x in 1 day and could not keep even water down but even a sprained ankle was more urgent. 2 days later and my son is still unwell but there is no reliability in the NHS. I have been left with no where to turn to.

I was seen today by two specialist nurses who carried out my eye surgery. They were kind, reassuring, explained the process well and very competent and skilled. Thank you to both ladies for your excellent care.

Review titled Phone called never answered
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 June 2024
Dealing with an ongoing referral with the Gynaecology dept, trying to call to get a test result and chase up a referral to radiology for a scan which should have already been done but yet they have nothing for me. I have tried multiple numbers for the medical secretary's and no one ever answers, I literally try calling every 10 mins for days. Not good when people are going through a stressful time trying to conceive which then the stress of this is not helping and we have time against us. Awful and very upsetting.

Review titled Rubbish system and unacceptable wait time
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 June 2024
I called 111 because my son contracted measles from the last visit at lri A& E. I was given a letter together with what they have done at urgent care and I was told that he'll be in priority because his illness is contagious. It is just illogical that nurses had do repeat everything. We arrived here at 7:30pm and we're still in the same room where they put us in without any doctors came in since we arrived. It is really ridiculous that this big hospital got no doctors. Lacking compassion with the patient.

Review titled Hearing Services
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Susie - Posted on 06 June 2024
I was given an appointment of 8.45am after callling yesterday to report my hearing aids were not working. We arrived on time and we’re taken straight through to doctor, where I was fitted with 2 new aids which were tuned to suit my particular hearing loss. This an absolutely fantastic service and the staff we saw were brilliant. I am so grateful as being without aids is awful. Many thanks.

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.
