Review titled Staff going above and beyond
by wezenzy37 - Posted on 08 February 2023
Our mum was sent to Barclay ward today post bronchoscopy. I am literally blown away by the kindness and care shown to not only her but myself and my sister. The staff were compassionate, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. They went above and beyond to get mum home early and safely. I cannot thank you enough for today.

Review titled Occupational therapy
Rated 1 star out of 5
by K Bradshaw - Posted on 16 January 2023
I was advised 5 days ago that there was no treatment available for my condition . I was also advised that occ . health need to assess my needs before I can go home. The major problem is that it is impossible to contact this department to by phone or email to discuss the matter. It is left to when this department decides to turn up.

Review titled Inconsistent care
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Jessica Warren - Posted on 02 January 2023
I went into labour on the 28th December and the staff on the labour suite couldn't do enough for me, they were fantastic. They took care of me and treated me as if I were their only patient. However. On the 29th, I was taken to the Bonnington Ward around 6pm. I hadn't been asked if I wanted any dinner, but wasn't aware of what time it was as I'd not had any sleep due to a potential infection I had. I had to ask for food on the ward. To which I got given a sandwich??? I was told on the 30th I could go home, this was around 12.30pm. I was still sat waiting for the paeds doctor to come see me at 9pm. To which I had to assume I wasn't going home. Nobody updated me at all on what was happening I just kept getting told when I asked "they're on their way." Subsequently I had to stay another night unnecessarily. Whilst on the ward the care seemed minimal. I felt as if I was just shoved in a room out the way. Some staff were lovely, but there were staff members who would just come in and hand me a cup with tablets. And I had to ask for water to take them. 2 occasions I was asked "do you need it now" how do you expect patients to take 4 tablets without fluids!? When i was eventually discharged on the 31st the midwife that dealt with me went out of her way to make sure the Paeds Doctor saw me so I could go home. She was fantastic. However, my community midwife came on the 1st and asked if my stitches had been checked the day before (i had a 3degree tear) and had to be cut and stitched due to having give birth with assistance from forceps. My stitches were not checked at all the whole duration of my stay. Surely if my notes say I was taking 2 lots of Antibiotics due to an infection (that was being treated as sepsis as precautions) you'd think my stitches would be checked daily incase any further infection occurred? Is this not negligence on your NHS Trusts part. Fortunately they are okay, but a massive case of neglect on the wards part. A lot of the time I felt as if it was an inconvenience when I pressed the buzzer for assistance. I wasn't aware it was my job to turn it off either, which was impossible for me to do as it was behind me and i had stitches. I once heard a member of staff say (because the buzzer hadn't been turned off) 'what does she want' in a complaining Manor. The toilet wasn't exactly functionable. Toilet paper never flushed so was constantly blocked. The day I arrived on the ward the toilet had a bed pan full of urine in it, that I had to ask to be removed so I could use the toilet myself. As I say there were some great staff on that helped me out when I was upset about not being able to go home and my baby being distressed. But a lot of the time I felt like "just another patient." I think the wards should have a similar care to that of the team on the labour suite because, yes I was fine and am recovering well, but I'd been through the mill during labour and that extra bit of time and effort goes a long way.

Hi Jessica, Thank you for leaving us feedback, I’m so glad that your delivery was so memorable and that you received the best care possible whilst in the labour suite. The memories that you make in those early days are so precious which is why I’m saddened to hear that it changed so significantly on admission. Please be assured that I will forward this comment onto the matron in maternity and there are a few parts of this feedback that you may wish to discuss further and we would be happy to put you in touch with the department please contact us on QMCPET@nuh.nhs.uk and we will get in touch. May I take this opportunity to congratulate on the birth of your baby, we look forward to hearing from you.

I was on Bonington and labour suite from the 30th December - 2nd January. Every 12 hours i had a new midwife i met consults and doctors and honeslty every single one was emotionally and physically- empathetic/ caring/ thoughtful and all did everything they could to make me my mum and partner comfortable along with explaining everything I needed to know and reasurred me my baby was okay. They're were incredible and each one is a very special person. Very greatful. Thankyou very much to each one of you! X

Review titled Amazing staff
by Nottm2022 - Posted on 22 March 2023
My Dad passed away on the Gervis Pearson ward in Dec 2022, after being on the ward for approx. six weeks. Every single member of staff on the ward - day and night were just amazing (including catering staff and cleaners). The level of care they provided for my Dad and for the rest of the family was second to none. They call nurses angels for a reason (and healthcare assistants are the same breed). What was the worst time of our lives was made bearable by the care Dad was shown. It will never be forgotten. People are keen to tell their "nightmare" stories but we are less likely to tell/hear of the positives stories. Our NHS is amazing and the staff on the Gervis Pearson ward epitomise just why that is. Thank you.

Review titled Follow up clinic appointments
by Emmfn56 - Posted on 02 November 2022
I have been seen at the Difficult Asthma clinic. I have twice had my 3 month review appointments cancelled. They have changed a lot of medications. I was last seen in July. I got an appointment for late December today and then had an email letter to say that appointment is cancelled and my next one will be in April 2023. No explanation. I need to have regular blood tests on this new medication. I have no idea how I go about getting them. I am absolutely gutted and angry that I have been treated this way. Not for the 1st time

Review titled Great service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rosemary Ross - Posted on 01 December 2022
Had an Endoscopy 30/11/22 at City hospital. The service was impressive. The nurses, doctors were efficient, professional and friendly. This is how a NHS department should be run. Well done to all the staff. Much appreciated.
