Review titled Fantastic service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Hannah D - Posted on 04 July 2024
I went to A&E yesterday (3rd July) and was rushed into a room due to chest pain. I had wonderful doctors and nurses, I felt at ease and we joked too - they really reassured me that I was in good hands. I hope I'm never back there for obvious reasons but I know I'd be in great hands if I did

Review titled Brilliant!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by David Scott - Posted on 29 June 2024
Unexpected visit to Macclesfield DGH A&E department on Friday. Can't praise the staff highly enough for the care they provided. From Reception through Triage and straight into a cubicle, everyone was friendly and welcoming. Clear updates provided on progress and constant checking up on condition. We take the NHS for granted until we need it. I was struck by the mixture of nationalities amongst the staff with at least 75% of the Nurses, Doctors etc from overseas and it brought home to me just how we depend on so many people not native to our country to look after us. Beware those who say we don't need these people and also those who have denied proper funding for the NHS over so many years.

Review titled Above and beyond
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lisa Squires - Posted on 18 June 2024
Took my elderly mother for an Ultrasound. Mum has dementia, poor mobility and a host of other issues. Staff were kind, explained the process in a simple and slow manner and showed respect to a frightened lady who wasn't sure what was happening. The parking attendant was brilliant assisting me to manoeuvre mum into the car within a confined space with the added pressure of a car waiting for the space. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful time, less stressful

Review titled Very caring
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Hels - Posted on 15 June 2024
AnE overwhelmed with patients and no space. Awful conditions for staff! However, they were fabulous with me, I had literally just had chemo and needed an ankle X-ray to check an injury I had just done pre-chemo. Due to these circumstances they whisked me through, kept me away from others as much as possible (infection risk), and were just so understanding and kind and caring. My apologies to other patients, and my grateful thanks to the wonderful staff.

Review titled 12 hour wait A@E !
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Man Browning - Posted on 24 May 2024
Entered A@E at 20.45 and didn't get home till 08.30am! Short staffed and when more emergency cases came in the wait got longer. No body came to apologise or re- assure patients. No tea or biscuits offered untill we asked. Had to keep asking reception staff. Quite a few mental health patients wondering around.

Review titled Good care
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by C Smith - Posted on 16 May 2024
The waiting times are obscene and at night there is not enough facilities to obtain food only crisp etc which is useless there should be sandwich dispensers. Its not the staffs fault but better information needs providing to patients to know what's going on I was sat for hours and nobody told me any results until I was forceful.

Review titled Excellent
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jo - Posted on 21 April 2024
1 excellent I put excellent down because it was! Nothing could be improved at all. The 2 nurses were amazing - the consultant too. The consultant even took me to see an ENT consultant because he had a free appointment. I was in absolute agony when I arrived, but within minutes they gave me morphine & codeine. Really the whole experience couldn't be improved upon! One very kind man working there gave my husband porridge & tea! Everyone was just so kind & courteous & professional & caring. I couldn't have wished for any better treatment & care, it was absolutely excellent! Thank you so much to all at Macclesfield A & E department! Jo
