Review titled The whole team put me at ease
by Emihg45 - Posted on 05 September 2023
I went to the gynaecologist yesterday and was very anxious and unaware of what to expect but the whole team put me at ease especially the nurse who stood next to me the whole time explaining everything step by step I can't thank her enough. And the gynaecologist was also very friendly and professional and put me at ease.

Review titled Above and beyond expectation
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Marion Bratton - Posted on 10 September 2023
From the start in the breast care department, through to biopsy, pre op assessment, Nuclear, Pocu, theatre and recovery and anyone else I may have forgotten I was treated with the utmost care and attention. All staff were friendly, kind and nothing was too much trouble for them. I was going to scan the Qr code before discharge to leave a review but forgot in my eagerness to go home. I hope that all of the appropriate departments receive my thanks for the care they gave during my recent breast cancer operation. Thank you.

I visited the clinic and I cannot fault the care, kindness, helpfulness of all staff that were involved. From reception, nurses, doctor and consultant; their approach and manner during each stage of my appointment was amazing. Thank-you.

Had to take my father to A&E twice recently and was impressed with the friendliness and kindness of the staff, even on a very busy day. Very happy with the care he received.

Review titled Appointment letter problems
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 July 2024
I have been trying to get a 72hr ecg done since last August (2023) we are not coming up to August 2024 and still no ecg completed. Due to 5 failed appointments due to letters not arriving. I have spoken to them specifically about this and they admitted it has been an issue with Royal Mail, and offered to call me when I'm rebooked. Well no call, and no help when chasing them up. Relieved a letter today to say I've failed to attend an appointment last week that I was never informed of. This makes it the 6th failed attempt to get the 72hr ecg done in a year, due to a failure to inform patients of appointments. Which can be done so simply by SMS, email or the NHS app which never seemed to e a problem at my former hospital. I never usually write reviews but since this is about my cardiac health and considering I have a worsening heart condition really annoys me that something so simple seems impossible to out.

Review titled Couldn’t fault the care and attention
by Tony1 - Posted on 27 July 2023
Was admitted 5 days ago to Phoenix ward, was looked after very well by a great team - both nurses, tea staff (cups could be bigger ) and cleaners - couldn’t fault the care and attention, thank you.

Review titled Medoc
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anne - Posted on 11 July 2023
I know how busy Medoc gets and the waits are usually horrendous. On Sunday it was reasonably busy, the staff were so kind and helpful. I did have a very long wait but was triaged, seen and given blood thinners and an appointment for a doppler scan yesterday. Seen straight away and had the scan. Ultrasound staff were very kind. Went back to a very packed waiting area and called reasonably quickly, obviously I was there just for a scan result. Seen by very pleasant nurses and was reassured no DVT. I have had not so pleasant experiences in the past but I felt the morale of the staff was high this time considering the pressures of working in such a busy department.

Review titled Excellent
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by SharonS - Posted on 29 July 2023
Attending Day Surgery Urology. Receptionist was lovely, warm personality and ensured everyone attending was taken care of. She reassured patients with empathy, assisted, spoke to each patient by first name. A definite asset to department and hospital. When I went through to prepare for procedure, met by staff, who explained what I needed to do and used humour, much needed as at this point nerves start to take over. When I went in for procedure, I met the Urologist, we went through history of my symptoms and explained results of my scan. He again was professional, yet calming, again much needed as I am a wimp. Once assisted again by his assistant the procedure carried out under local, the urologist explaining what I could see on screen. He again a real asset to team and hospital. After procedure, he explained what actions were necessary, symptoms I may experience and how to deal with them. From xray department to urology day surgery department all I have is praise. Both were very busy departments yet both treated patients with with kindness and respect
