Review titled Extra weekend Gynaecology clinics
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Kate - Posted on 18 June 2024
My appointment was many months away but it was brought forward by the team running clinics on the weekend over the phone. I really appreciate them working on the weekend and was very happy to speak to the consultant who really listened and helped me address my symptoms. Thank you

Review titled Wonderful Doctor and midwife on Labour Ward
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 23 May 2024
We gave birth to our son and I felt the quality of care and communication by our doctor and midwife was absolutely brilliant. I am so grateful to them both. We were given information, options and autonomy all communicated with care and respect. I cannot thank them enough for the safe delivery of our son.

Review titled Great care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Karen - Posted on 11 May 2024
Sent to A&E by my GP. Tues 7th 10.45am Short wait for triage taken straight to Majic Bay 1 . Nursing staff great kept the mood positive for patients . straight on oxygen alternated with nebuliser. After xray and vista from doctors. Admitted and moved to small side room in majik Bay 2 again great staff kept informed taken for ct scans .monitor and stabilised with oxygen nebuliser and antibiotics. Stay was 48 hrs. All staff from house keeping, porters , food and nursing where friendly helpful and pleasant. Food was okay nothing terrible perhaps a bit bland , tea was way to weak and milky coffee too. Best think was the hot chocolate . Could not of asked for better care or attention.

Review titled Dismissive and unprofessional practice.
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 February 2024
Went to the gynae outpatient appointment today with my mum. We were met with a female gynae consultant who was extremely dismissive from start to finish of the consultation, my mum expressed her symptoms after the doctor asked, and the doctor made no eye contact throughout and dismissed everything my mum said, and explained how none of the symptoms are associated with the medication she has been prescribed with, hence she should seek GP advice for that. The consultant proceeded to write a prescription note without gaining consent and decided on her own basis that she would change the medication, she did not perform any physical examination on my mum and the consultation was cut short and ended within 4 minutes. My mum continues to experience worsening symptoms, and it has worsened since the last time she was seen by the gynae consultant in the same department. However the consultant did not take any of this into consideration and her attitude was very off throughout it all. Very disappointed in the lack of professionalism and this is not patient-centred care at all!

Review titled Outstanding Urology Doctors
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 April 2024
I have been under the Urology Team since I was admitted to hospital in January 2024. I was recently diagnosed with a very serious illness which has now gone! I would like to thank the urology doctors for their ongoing support and always putting their patients first. They made sure I have all the information and support I need to manage my condition. Please can you make sure this is passed on to the Urology team! Thank you
