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
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 July 2024
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
by Sue - Posted on 24 July 2024
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 A credit to the NHS
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Paul Weston - Posted on 19 June 2024
I was taken by ambulance to the North Devon Hospital in the early hours of Monday morning. A viral infection had left me with an acute adrenal crisis and I was in a very poor state. The patience, kindness and professionalism of the ambulance crew and the A&E staff was exceptional and thanks to them they were able to stabilise my condition over several hours and I was eventually moved to the Medical Assessment Unit. Now we often hear opposition politicians these days say that the NHS is broken. Well I have news for them. Not at the front line it isn’t at Barnstaple. They have the most amazing staff - and I’m sorry I’m not allowed to name individuals here, or else I would. I was then moved to the Roborough Ward where once again everyone from the health care assistants, to the cleaners, to the meal servers and before I left the pharmacy team all combined to make my stay as comfortable and stress free as they could. I can’t thank them enough. They are a wonderful team of professionals who work seamlessly to underpin the true values of the NHS. It was a scary few days for me and my wife but their kind assurances shone through and helped us come out the other side. If the NHS is broken it is at the management and regional level and these front line staff deserve so much better.

Had to take my daughter in for day surgery to have teeth removed and the staff absolutely wonderful. We ended up being there for about 10 hours and they looked after us so well and never put any pressure on us to leave before she was ready to go.

Review titled Glossop Ward
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Helen Garthwaite - Posted on 23 May 2024
I recently spent three days and nights on glossop ward and the care I received from everyone that looked after me was absolutely faultless. I was first in the A&E dept with very painful injury and I was looked after by a very lovely nurse who looked about me for 12 hours before I was admitted on to the day surgery ward. Every department I went to I was treat with the best care and it made a very difficult time a lot easier to deal with.
