Review titled Quick A&E visit
by january78 - Posted on 29 March 2023
My daughter fell over at school & I took her to Musgrove Park Hospital A&E. Every staff member was amazing from the receptionist & nurses. Thank you for the amazing job you do. Luckily it was a small fracture . We were seen & dealt within in just over an hour.

Review titled My son's first stay in hospital
by trapperpk93 - Posted on 08 March 2023
My young son had a very bad infection in his face. It was his first stay in a hospital. He particularly liked the food choices and the packed chest especially. He says he really likes the staff 'because they are very kind'. He thinks that there are plenty of things to do on the ward.

Review titled Never frightened to go there
by J71 - Posted on 10 February 2023
I feel I have to comment on the excellent care I received from The Grace Centre team. From the warm welcome I received from the receptionist, which was very comforting and, to being kept well informed the clinic was running slightly late. The medical staff are so nice in their ways guiding me through what they were going to do and why and making me feel calm and at ease with all that was going to happen. During the procedure I was monitored so well, re assuring me and explaining the whole time what was happening. I have been treated at the centre twice now. It's certainly not my go to place but I am never frightened to go there. Thank you all for being you

Entered A&E at 8.30am, very polite reception staff. Had an ultra sound scan, catheter fitted, consultation all by 11am. Very impressed. Thank you. We are so lucky with our NHS.

Review titled Our minds were put at ease
by aurigabx86 - Posted on 28 February 2023
We were referred to the Paediatric Assessment Unit for our son. While there, our minds were put at ease and our son was well looked after. After we were discharged, it was really reassuring to know that we could give the unit a call if we had further concerns about our son. This was particularly helpful as it was the weekend and would avoid us calling 111 or visiting A&E. The day after we were discharged, our son became unwell again so we called the Paediatric Assessment Unit who asked us to come back in. We were seen straight away, even though it was a weekend and the team were excellent at reassuring us and helping our son.

Review titled Good process.
by Service User - Posted on 03 May 2023
I walked into A&E with a bad arm. Directed to a nurse; xray, met by a nurse, broken arm, fitted with a brace, xray and left. Week later told needed surgery, a week later saw surgeon, a week later surgery. Then physio and up to me to get it in working order - it is. I like due process and this worked. I was kept informed about the whole process/treatment which is what I require as I like to have agency over my own body and health. Never used any health service before. I can only speak for A&E - it worked for me. Other departments may need a shake up. I think the Clinical/Surgical Decision wards are a very good addition.

Review titled Lovely Staff
by RWestlake - Posted on 12 January 2023
I was in the A&E with my one year old yesterday and I was incredibly grateful for the support I received from all the staff I came in contact with. My little one was extremely distressed and they gave her a teddy, found us a dark room to try and get her to sleep in and even put a cartoon on as a distraction. The doctor and nurses were really helpful and tried to do her obs in ways to avoid further distress, I.e. while nursing. Hospitals are obviously incredibly busy at the moment but they have provided a really high level of care and I can't fault anything about my visit.

Review titled E D department.
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 January 2023
I would like to commend all the staff for the considerable hard work carried out in a very respectful manner. I was at A&E with my 92 year old mother on New Year’s Day Despite the horrendously long wait of over 6 hours to see a doctor!! I cannot fault the staff at all. The pressure they were under was tremendous but each time I spoke to any of the staff, I was answered with with a smile and given a reason for delay , etc. My only complaint is the lack of facilities for people waiting so long. Vending machines broken , so no tea or coffee available. The staff work tirelessly and they definitely need more staff on duty ( if only they could get more staff)!!. But Thankyou everybody who was in A&E on Sunday afternoon/evening for all your hard work. Met some lovely waiting patients as well with young babies who were treated very quickly as you would expect.
