Review titled Superb service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by sandra chambers - Posted on 13 November 2024
Today two wonderful practitioners in audiology tested and fitted me with hearing aids. All done with patience and skill. I am so pleased with the result and feel they will be life changing. Thank you both and to the NHS for giving me this amazing technology and all free.

Everyone at the Colorectal Surgery ward has been so professional and caring. My surgery was successful and has had a massive positive effect on me. I am grateful for them and the NHS.

Review titled Incredible care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Christine - Posted on 02 September 2024
I've just had a 6 day stay. I was in a traumatic state very unwell and dehydrated when the amazing paramedics came to treat me with such care and get me to a&e. At a&e I was given brilliant care so much kindness many tests to find the problems. From here I was transferred to MAU where again I received amazing care and kindness. I was soon transferred to Robough ward.. to continued wonderful care. The consultants doctors nurses care team and Sodexo for providing gluten/dairy free choices. I cannot thank you all enough. I am now at home recovering and feel blessed for such a brilliant NHS

Review titled Wonderful care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Christine Mason - Posted on 13 August 2024
I have been in hospital for 13 days. The attention to care and kindness and getting me well again was amazing. From the paramedics to A&E on to MAU then Tarka ward... Every member of staff did everything to make me comfortable.The testing and observations were so supportive. The food and tea/ coffee excellent especially as I have intolerance to some foods. The staff are all so busy but still manage a smile and greeting! Thank you all so much

Review titled Amazing people
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I recently underwent a laparoscopy on the petter day unit. It was my first time in hospital, and my first operation. I was so incredibly nervous. Everything was so smooth and everyone was so so kind. I got to ask all the questions I wanted and they talked me through everything I was anxious about. They took my neurodivergence in to consideration and made me feel extremely at ease. My anaesthetist especially was incredible, if I was to ever need another operation I can only hope they’re as great as he was. My only slight issue was my surgeon spoke to me about the operation when I was still coming round, I didn’t even have my eyes open. Seeing as I couldn’t remember what was said to me I had to wait until my discharge summary a few days later to find out what happened during the surgery. The nurses were great and the whole day was extremely easy. I am extremely thankful for the experience I had.

Review titled Kind and efficient care
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I had to attend A&E after a fall whilst on holiday in Woolacombe I was treated with the utmost kindness and respect by all concerned from the receptionist to the nurses and doctors. Yes I had to wait hours but I was seen, treated and advised. Those people are marvellous in the circumstances they face every day of their working lives

Review titled Very Poor
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 23 October 2024
I was referred to the Urology department at Nddh, in June 2024, after having a recurring Uti. It was established by Mri scan etc, that I had kidney stones, which were causing my UTIs. I last had contact with the department in July and have heard nothing since. Although i had a CT scan in July, as of today, late October, I've heard nothing, no follow up, no contact, nothing. I've left messages on the departments answerphone, and have still not heard back. In the meantime, I've been on antibiotics for 7 months, another medication for, bladder wall thickening and an enlarged prostate, all a result of constant UTIs, that NDDHs urology department, obviously couldn't care less about.
