Review titled Quality of care at QE hospital
by Burnsie - Posted on 20 October 2023
Presented at QE A&E recently, with chest pain was seen really quickly, and triaged through to be seen by nurses and Drs with caring attitude. Decision was made to admit me to another ward over night for tests to be carried out, was transferred to ward 1 where my continued care was excellent, staff were attentive and caring during a very busy shift. Eventually I was moved to ward 21 where my care continued and again Was given excellent care staff were attentive and caring through yet another busy shift. I appreciate all the hard work the staff do to make patients stay in hospital a good experience

Review titled Peter Smith Surgery Centre
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Margaret MARION Clark - Posted on 17 October 2023
From receptionist in Admittance to the ambulance staff who took me home after being discharged, I found every member of staff in whatever position helpful, friendly, and caring. Never having been overnight in hospital for well over 60 years, and now aged 84 - I was very nervous at the prospect of my coming knee replacement operation. I was quickly put at ease and by the time I went in to have my anaesthetic, I was already quite calm. Everything went well during the operation and the caring theatre staff were lovely. I was taken to Ward 28 and surprised that there were no doctors, and the ward was run by nurse practitioners. I thought they were brilliant and I received the best of care with every help given and questions patiently answered. It's impossible to mention everyone - from nursing, to staff serving meals, checking if you needed anything, the staff and OT who ensured safety equipment had been delivered to my home; I don't want to miss anyone out. Ward 28 was stress-free and with plenty of laughter. A massive thank you to each and every one of them.

Review titled Colposcopy Amazing care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 August 2023
The care my daughter received yesterday In Colposcopy couldn’t have been any better if she had been a relative of the staff. Words can’t describe how amazing that team is at the QE! She was very anxious on arrival however the nurses but her at ease from the minute she arrived until they seen her out. Even insisted on sweet treats and a cup of tea before she left double checking she was ok to leave. Absolute angels they are. Only wish I was allowed to give you their names, what a lovely bunch of ladies, many thanks xxx

Review titled Amazing patient care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Samantha Lee - Posted on 19 July 2023
I attended the colposcopy clinic for an outpatient appointment. I was very anxious about this and worried after having treatment in the past. The 3 members of staff; the lady who performed my colposcopy, the band 5 nurse who assisted with my entonox and the healthcare assistant were nothing short of brilliant. They were so understanding, kind and caring and did everything in their power to ensure I was calm and not anxious. They really listened to my feelings. The lady who performed the colposcopy made me feel at ease and explained that I could stop and take some time at any point. They made me the entire focus of the appointment and I can honestly say I have never experienced patient care like it. They were fantastic. I am a nurse myself and this has made me want to change the way I approach my own practice. I would like to thank them all very much for being so supportive, kind and professional. I will be requesting to attend this clinic again in the future should I need further tests or treatment. They are all excellent role models and a real asset to the hospital. Thankyou so much again Samantha

Review titled Wonderful Maternity team!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Kym - Posted on 12 July 2023
I can’t express enough how amazing all of the maternity team treated myself and my partner during our time on the labour ward. The midwife’s were all so friendly, calming and patient. For first time parents labour is a daunting thing but myself and my partner were put at ease by the ladies who were working so hard to ensure we had a safe and comfortable experience when it come to welcoming our baby to the world. Thanks to you all.

Review titled Excellent
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 June 2023
I went at 10am and left at 6 pm. A long time that is for sure. But I must weigh this against the care I received from nurses, doctor and porters. I had so many tests I began to think the doctor wanted to keep me as long as possible! I have to say the treatment X-rays and so that he ordered left me feeling that I had a full mot. Although I was there a long time something seemed to happen every hour or so to break the time. Doctor even apologised for me having to be there so long. So when I left I felt that I had been treated exceptionally well by everybody and the doctor made me feel confident in his diagnosis. So people although you may be visiting for a while please don’t complain when you leave and you have been sorted out.

Review titled Terrible service
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 June 2023
I was waiting for 5 hours straight in complete agony with my knee and every time I asked for a rough estimate of the time I was told I don’t know constantly. The staff don’t even know what is going on in their ward and don’t know what patients need seeing there is never any staff on the wards themselves. Every time I come to this hospital it’s the same the staff just don’t get anything done and have people sitting around for hours on end I even heard them talking about transferring money and what they were doing after work etc it’s not necessary what’s necessary is that you take care of your patients and get the work done that is meant to be done. Stuff needs to improve asap because it’s not just me sitting around it’s also elderly people who are in no state to sit on your hard uncomfortable chairs for hours on end. Within the 5 hours of me being here all that has happened is they took my blood pressure and even then they couldn’t do that properly.

Review titled Excellent Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Stephen Charlton - Posted on 06 June 2023
Taken to A&E by emergency ambulance after a nasty fall out of bed at home. All staff very friendly, reassuring, caring and professional. After assessing me and checking bloods etc, the doctor arranged a ct scan for my head and neck and also very effective pain relief. After they got the results, they let me know all was well and After arranging some short term pain medication for home, I was discharged and returned home. All the staff were pleasant, polite, caring, professional and very very patient. They made the effort to listen and I believe they truly cared about my situation. Couldn't ask for better care or service.
