Review titled Amazing Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Kate Roubaud - Posted on 05 July 2023
I had 2 visits to A & E after feeling suddenly very unwell once as a walk in patient and secondly by ambulance as my symptoms had worsened. The service I had was amazing. I was treated with care and respect by all the staff as I made my way through the A & E assessment process. The staff explained the tests they were doing in language I could understand and I was discharged with a prescription for medication, advice and an appointment for the TIA clinic the following week. I kept this appointment and had further extensive tests and again was seen by amazing staff the last being a Consultant Physician. She was so kind and knowledgeable and did not dismiss my concerns. I was given an explanation of test results which ruled out many possible conditions and gave me an idea of what she thought the problem might be. I was discharged with a plan for the future. I cannot thank you all enough LRI staff. The service was impressive and I feel so lucky having this on our doorstep. Thank you NHS LRI. s and a discharge letter and

Review titled The most incredible staff.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Beth w - Posted on 14 June 2023
I came to the gau with my friend who had a terrible experience at a sexual health clinic and desperately needed her copper iud removed. It has embedded and given her an infection. She was scared, in agony and reluctant to trust anyone after the sexual health clinic. The staff in the ga department were incredible. I’ve never had an experience like it. They are just exceptionally skilled in making you feel comfortable and relaxed about such a private matter. I cannot fault them, and severely hope that they’re getting the appreciation they deserve. They were funny, kind and knowledgeable. Exactly how a team should be. Thank you, you’ve changed my friends life.

Review titled Fantastic service for children with additional needs
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by P Smith - Posted on 23 June 2023
I had to attend children's a & e with my child who is on the asd pathway and nonverbal this evening. All staff was amazing and was very understanding. Fantastic understanding of my child's additional needs was taken into account with the waiting time/assessments and I am very appreciative of that. I can honestly say it was made as straightforward as possible from the reception staff booking us in to the acp who assessed my child. Thank you for making a difference.

Review titled Worsening symptoms/No reply from the department
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Sean Mackness - Posted on 26 November 2023
I visited the ENT department in June and was told I would have a follow-up appointment in 2 weeks. It is now almost 6 months. My visit was quick and without the tests or diagnosis needed for my condition. I have contacted the department, as have many health professionals to expedite my appointment due to worsening symptoms and mental health issues but no reply has ever been received from the ENT department. I feel as though I am just wasting my time and my condition will never be resolved.

Review titled Caring Staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 June 2023
From when I arrived at the Emergency Department to then being admitted to the Ward all the staff were kind and caring. I had to wait for test results and was offered pain relief and kept up to date with what was happening. The staff where busy but always looked after me well. The patient areas were clean and organised. My family and I are very grateful for the treatment and care I received.

Review titled Poor communication and levels of patient care
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 May 2023
I spent four nights on the acute assessment ward before being transferred to the infectious disease ward for another five nights. I had to wait 48 hours for a scan on my liver as I had jaundice. Was told 8.30 in the morning was to have nil by mouth because was being scanned that morning, but it never happened so went all day with nothing to eat or drink. None of the day nurses checked in to see if I was o.k. Didn't seem to be any communication between departments. For example, when I was finally taken for a scan , while I was gone my consultant turned up to check my tonsils. Saw I wasn't there and never returned!! I was told on 17th May at about 4pm that ,as my blood tests were o.k, I would be given a prescription for antibiotics and could then go home. My father travelled all the way up from Kent to get me only to be told when he arrived that the day staff had forgotten to write out the prescription and I would have to wait until they came back on duty the next day for it to be sorted. This left my father with no where to stay for the night. The whole stay wasn't a great experince.

I spent 24 hours in Red Majors. I was treated with kindness, compassion and dignity by everyone. I had numerous tests and an MRI, to find out the problem. I am so very grateful for the time given to my care, and now my health problem can be treated because of that. Thank you all so very much, x

Review titled Amazing paramedics!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Meg - Posted on 31 May 2023
Had a wonderful experience this morning when having paramedics sent out in response to severe menstrual bleeding. Really friendly, calm and efficient service from two lovely paramedics who completely put my mind at rest. They contacted my drs who arranged medication for me to pick up the same day. I felt very well looked after, thank you both you were brilliant! When I’ve called paramedics in Leicester for other people in the past, I’ve always been very impressed by their friendliness and professionalism. Absolute credit to the NHS, thank you for all you do
