Review titled Worst experience
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 April 2023
After a 3 days of my partner struggling to breathe and being an asthmatic, she tried getting into her GP of which she was refused an appointment on that day due to it being an no emergency appointment, she was told to ring 111 or go the the local walking centre. She rang 111 who told her to ring GP back after sending them a message, she rang them back to be told no appointments were left. She attended the A&E as a last resort being 24 weeks pregnant she need some help, being in there 30-45 minutes she was seen by a nurse and told to wait in waiting room, 4.5 hour later she still hadn’t been seen by a doctor breathing getting worse had to leave due to using public transport. How is it that you can have patients that are showing signs of breathing difficulties who are also pregnant left to wait over 4 hours and still not been seen. Yet you can have prisoners and drunks come in and be seen straight away. Disgusted isn’t even cutting anymore from the NHS

Review titled Lengthy waiting time for an apoointment
by Kiza - Posted on 19 April 2023
I have been waiting 55 weeks for an outpatient appointment that should be a maximum wait time of 18 weeks - that's over a year. Over a year of me being in pain with no support. I called up today to ask and they have said the only appointment before mine is a week earlier and that should be left for emergency cases so I can't have it. I feel it is ridiculous leaving a young person to suffer in pain for over a year waiting for an urgent issue to be investigated.

Review titled CT scanners go extra mile
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Darryl - Posted on 06 April 2023
Huge thanks to Gateway C CT scan team at 1pm 4th April. My partner has cognitive impairment and mobility issues resulting from brain damage caused by a large tumour. A head scan was required by the neuro-consultant to assess the current brain condition. Having been transferred to the QMC by ambulance we were passed onto the team without delay. The whole team were excellent, considerate and understanding. They also went more than "the extra mile" to circumvent a medical issue that arose prior to the scan taking place. I cannot thank them enough for their professional, but sympathetic approach. I hope that this review will be passed on to the people involved. Again thank you.

Review titled The care of an elderly relative
by Dawlish 21 - Posted on 05 April 2023
I brought my COVID positive, elderly mother to A & E at the Queen's Medical Centre. Her Oxygen levels were dangerously low and within minutes they were treating her. We were very appreciative of the kindness and consideration of all the staff involved. As she had COVID she was put in the Isolation ED which was not so hectic and noisy as elsewhere - this is so important. She was monitored and looked after very well. Luckily the staffing levels were good. We wanted to thank all the Isolation ED staff very much.

Review titled Caring and extremely hard working staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by jacqui wren - Posted on 07 April 2023
On a day visit to Nottingham I fell and damaged my face and hands. I needed my lip stitching and my fractured fingers binding. The care I received was excellent. Yes I was waiting a long time but that’s because hospitals are understaffed but the staff here could not have worked any harder or been any more caring. I had to wait because I needed someone from the maxillofacial department to clean out the debris from my lip and stitch it up. The nurse in ED asked if I was dizzy, light headed, by this point it had been 8 hours since I’d eaten, when I mentioned this she immediately found me a sandwich and a yogurt which solved that issue. When my family arrived they were able to come and sit with me as I waited to be stitched up. Yes, the waiting time is unacceptable but it’s not the fault of the staff on duty, they could not have worked any harder, been more caring or been more efficient. Thank you ED injuries at Queens Medical Centre Nottingham.

Review titled Eye Injury
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Laura Paterson - Posted on 22 April 2023
I attended on 21st April, the eye casualty. I'd damaged my eye and was in a lot of pain. 111 told me to head in. I registered and was triaged within half an hour. The nurse I saw, put pain relief and dye in my eye and saw that I'd scratched right across the front of my eye. She double checked the back of my eye to make sure it was okay. She explained that I didn't need to see a doctor and recommended an abx eye drop I could use. She told me it would start to feel better in a couple of days. She was friendly and explained things well. Great job thank you.

Review titled Can't fault my aftercare
by Peter923 - Posted on 19 May 2023
Don't remember much about the first hour. Went in hospital at 12:00 and was back home at 18:30 the next evening, feeling as if nothing had been amateur. Can't fault my aftercare.

Review titled Outstanding care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Emily Coupe - Posted on 28 April 2023
My son had to have a procedure on the short stay surgical ward. From start to finish the care was absolutely outstanding. My son has a very negative view of hospitals from past experiences (not at this site) so was very scared when coming to this hospital. From the very beginning he was made to feel at ease. The play specialist that came down was absolutely brilliant! She kept him calm and laughing in a situation where he would normally be crying and scared! The nurses on shift were also as brilliant! Really knew how to keep my son calm and to make the experience less scary! After the surgery the nurse was sure to have a ham sandwich to hand as promised! You should be really proud of this unit. No mother wants to see her son go through having to be put to sleep and the recovery, but with the team that was on it made that experience that little bit easier. I cannot even begin to describe how brilliant this team is. Thankyou! So much! (And my son is still talking about the ham sandwiches!)

Hi Emily, Thank you for sharing your experience in our hospitals, I’m so glad to hear that you both felt so well supported in your Son’s procedure and that more importantly the team were even able to help him forget his fears! I will pass this feedback onto the team that looked after him and we hope that he is recovering well now. Please be assured that if you ever need us again we are here for you and will even make sure we also have a good supply of those ham sandwiches!!
