Review titled Fantastic team work in Leighton Ambulatory Care Unit (A C U)
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Annie Driver - Posted on 29 December 2022
My husband and I spent 36 hours in A C U over four days, during the run up to Christmas, where he was diagnosed with a pituitary tumour. Further investigations were co-ordinated by the consultant and advanced clinical practitioners in A C U including endocrinology and ophthalmology consultants, M R I and more C T scans and a range of bloods. There was ongoing liaison with the neurosurgery team at Royal Stoke University Hospital. A C U is a haven of calm, efficient teamwork where the staff are caring towards the patients and towards each other. The fact that it is your base, and you go away for tests then come back (even to the same chair) becomes your comfort blanket and helps you manage what is a stressful situation. I can’t praise this team enough for all their support and thoroughness in the diagnostics, whilst managing a busy unit with many other worried patients. What upset me deeply were other patients, who grumbled and complained about, what to us were relatively short waits, and worse…the patient who under her breath was abusive and dismissive of the nurses’ diligent and conscientious work. Thank you A C U

Review titled Nothing short of fantastic!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Thomas White - Posted on 07 December 2022
I was rushed into A&E on the 17th November with excruciating abdominal pains, within seconds of arrival i was rushed through in a for triage as well as being provided pain relief, the staff were so reassuring and efficient at what they were doing, after blood tests, antibiotics and a CT scan it was discovered that I had acute appendicitis. I was admitted to a nice quite ward (11) with really friendly and caring staff, who were great not only with myself but other patients on the ward, the following morning i was taken to surgery for the appendix to be removed, the whole process was daunting but again the surgeons and aftercare staff were fantastic, 2 more days on the ward and i was discharged with suitable medication/pain relief. I cannot rate the staff highly enough for the care/knowledge and support provided during my time there.

Review titled Fantastic postnatal care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rosalind - Posted on 30 November 2022
The maternity services at Leighton are truly amazing. I was readmitted to hospital with my two week son - and absolutely everyone, from the midwives and wonderful infant feeding team through to the consultants and cleaners were so caring, knowledgeable and reassuring. Me, my husband and my son will be forever grateful for their care and I would recommend Leighton’s maternity services to anyone.
