by Philip - Posted on 02 May 2024
Got admitted through a and e that was not to bad when done in a and e I went to amu which was a terrible experience they stuck me in corridor till bay come available nobody asked if I was ok anyway I finally got a bed in a bay I was seen by doctor and consultant who told me the plan of action over4 days I was in amu different doctors and consultants was saying something different every time the care was terrible I was not informed much if anything the best and friendly staff where the nursing asst they did everything for you and listened where as the doctors and nurses couldn’t give a monkeys I could not get a mri scan as it would mean 9 days on the ward so I ended up having lumbar puncture which was also not done properly so had to go through more pain the following day when another registrar successfully took sample even when I got discharged I had no reassurance when leaving in fact the registrar popped his head in and said test negative shook my hand and went only person I seen was a nurse who gave me a letter and that was it I’m now out in more worst pain than when I went in I am amazed at the little level of care there is in fact it was something from a nightmare

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.

Review titled Appalling communication
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Rachel - Posted on 03 May 2024
My mum is currently in LRI following emergency surgery for a perforated bowel 9 days ago. Communication since surgery has been appalling. The surgery was high risk and the Doctors were supposed to call when she was out of theatre with an update - we received nothing we had to ring around trying to find out if she was out of surgery and eventually found her in ITU. We have asked numerous times since to speak to a doctor to discuss the surgery and prognosis, and have been promised a call but have not received one. 5 days after the operation an ITU nurse finally told us what had happened in surgery but she had to caveat she was not a doctor. They have not kept us up to date with results from CT scans, X-rays etc. As ward rounds are out of visiting hours we are unable to be there when there is a doctor around. Mum has memory issues and is being tested for dementia so cannot tell us herself what has been said. Despite filling out 2/3 contact forms and a getting to know you form where we requested to be kept updated we have had no communication.

Appalling service from the staff at LRI - My father has been passed around like a yo-yo and to date his problem has not been resolved. No update from the hospital when he gets moved around & despite asking for call backs from the DRs - Nothing Terrible communication all round.

The care I received at A & E (and subsequently the stroke unit assessment bay) was efficient, professional and caring at all times. Thank you very much to all the staff who saw me through a difficult 24 hours.
