Review titled Ward A8 and general outpatients appointments
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 January 2025
I am a carer for a relative who have had the unfortunate experience of staff on ward A8 where was admitted and had a short stay. I would not recommend this ward. Right from the start the staff placed him in a bed n the corridor where he was ignored, no privacy or care given. Once in a bay when I came to visit the staff on shift were rude, dismissive and short, more interested in talking about their ward manager and how they feel they can't approach to talk with her as she shuts them down and creates an unhealthy place to work. This was effecting patient care. I thought it was just this ward but when we have been to an outpatient appointment for something completely different staff there looked miserable too. The ladies in the blood room were lovely but the lady with a scarf covering her head looked as though she didn't want to be there, shouted his name and was abrupt. Not a good reflection on the department. Sort yourself out both A8 and outpatients. No wonder we are feeling disillusioned about the care we receive when faced with this. We all have bad days but clearly a hospital issue that goes higher up if both areas have issues.

Review titled Car park
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Julia Hudson - Posted on 21 November 2024
Had an appointment at 11.20 today, arrived at 10.35 to give plenty of time to park. Left at 11.10 after driving, queuing with so many other cars in all of your car parks. Called to advise won't be attending as hate to let people down. I had been told that appointment was very important to attend re infection post op but if you can't park all bets are off. What a joke

Review titled Disappointing
Rated 2 stars out of 5

This is about a relative, taken 2yrs to finally get a date for surgery & prognosis, to then be told your surgery is cancelled due to weather conditions (icey pavements) when we looked into this further we were told the hospital was full & lot's of infections? My relatives health is being comprised daily due to the nature of this dreadful infection she has & needs surgery ASAP, We now have to wait until New Year. I am disgusted with how they work & I will take this further. Unfortunately we are not in a position to pay for this surgery, otherwise we would of gone down that route, they wouldn't of given us lame excuses then. Very very disappointed.

Attended a and e after gp referred due to eye injury. Although extremely busy was met by caring staff, triage within 30mins, and seen with a referral for emergency appointment for the next day, all within 2hrs. Credit where is it due. It was very busy, not a lot of space but team including volunteers were calm, helpful and supportive from the minute I walked in until I left after treatment and referal

Review titled Disappointed A&E
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 October 2024
I visited Peterborough hospital A&E over the weekend with kidney stones, probably the most pain most people experience, I spent 6and half hours in A&E waiting to go in I asked for pain relief and got one tablet I was sick in a corner of the waiting room in server pain why is it with this sort of pain nobody can give you the drugs you need until you enter the assessment unit, I was happy to sit there and wait my time but to sit for 6 and half hours in pain is not nice, once in they were great, but the experience in the waiting room was horrendous surely something can be done for people in so much pain could get the drugs they need to feel comfortable, what made it worse was I was seen by a paramedic at home earlier in the day and was told it was suspected kidney stones, so had all the paper work when we went in 2 hours later so please could someone look at putting people with so much pain the early chance of getting pain killers to kill the pain even if we have to sit there and wait 6 hours or so

Review titled Shocking
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 October 2024
Total lack of communication and care whilst on B5. I was left in the dark regarding if surgery was happening or not all day. Hence hungry. Didn’t happen wasn’t told that would the case. Next day still unsure. Eventually got taken down for operation. I was not checked up on or informed of how my surgery went once back on the ward. Zero after care, no follow up. Meds and obs done other than that the communication. Felt like a nuisance for existing tbh.

Thank you to all of the wonderful staff who looked after my granddaughter who had a week's stay on Amazon ward. Everyone we came into contact with were wonderful, the environment is so modern and clean and calm. We are all very grateful.

Spent few days on oncology ward. Staff rude no information. Couldn't even be bothered to put my name on board. To say this is maybe one of most important wards. Very uncaring staff. Night shift couldn't even ve bothered. Awful experience. Need more people skills. Could not wait to leave there. Poss left before I was well enough.

Review titled Friendly and prompt service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

My partner broke his foot so we went to A and E. He was seen within 2 hours so very prompt compared to previous experiences I’ve had in other hospitals. Everything very clean and all staff friendly and polite.
