Review titled A weeks stay
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sara Poole - Posted on 12 August 2023
I went to A&E after feeling unwell for a while, was seen within 15 minutes and put on AMU for 2-3 days. The staff were friendly and helpful. I was then put on Ward 8 which was the same, staff couldnt do enough for you. One day they got the meal wrong but they helped me recover and discharged me. Doctors and nurses very informative and couldnt have asked for better care. Thank you Burton Hospital

Review titled Superb and very caring Doctor
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by John S Grimley - Posted on 02 June 2023
Today 2nd June I had a steroid injection in my wrist and the care I received was faultless. What an asset to the RA department this Doctor is, I hope she stays a very long time. Such a shame I can't name her.

Review titled A vile institution
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Richy63 - Posted on 15 June 2023
My appointment for pain relief injections was cancelled within a hour of appointment time. I had to take 2 buses to get to Burton hospital as I was told not to drive. On arrival I was told my appointment had been cancelled. They could not be bothered to ring in the morning. I have been waiting since December of 2021 for these injections. The definition of a hospital is 'an institution providing medical and surgical treatment and nursing care for sick or injured people'. This place fails miserably. Staff have a cavalier attitude to human suffering. Disgusting.

Review titled A&E saved my husbands life!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by K J Tomlinson - Posted on 21 February 2024
Took hubby to A&E with a headache that just wasn't normal for him .... expecting to be sent packing as his only symptom was this unusual headache. Seen immediately and it was a ruptured brain aneurysm. They started him on medication and within 4 hours he was transferred to Nottingham. The staff in A&E looked after him superbly but also looked after me as I was in total shock. Thank you all !!!

Review titled I would never go to Burton Hospital ever again
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 01 July 2023
Went to A&E with a letter from my doctor to be seen promptly but I was still made to wait 6 hours. The system is no good. They don’t listen to you. Staff clearly don’t communicate with each other. I was asked the same questions repeatedly. Also patient confidentiality they no nothing of. I was asked personal offensive questions in front of my spouse. It’s just wrong. Nobody was proactive on helping to diagnose my problem. I was sent to the waiting room various times and was there until early hours. I have zero confidence in this hospital. It’s really quite worrying the low level of service they provide and something needs to be done about it. All I can say is Good Hope was outstanding and absolutely put Burton to shame.

Review titled Positive experience may it continue
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lisa Evans - Posted on 25 June 2023
Having arrived through A&E then admitted to ward 14 then onto ward 30 my experience was extremely positive, the care from the nurses and doctors was in my experience the best I’ve received having had my 4th hospital admission this year I had some issues previously but felt that this time I was really looked after so well always on top of my pain relief and the medications I needed,from surgery procedure to discharge. Please send me gratitude to all the staff within this department and wards they all did an amazing job when the department was very overwhelmed.

Review titled disgusted and appalled
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 April 2023
Doctor treated me with no respect, spoke to me like I was an imbecile and too old to comprehend what he was telling me.Did not read the notes the nurse had prepared and then accused me of not telling him information (which was in the notes). Wrote a list of medications on a tissue- is the NHS so short of money it cannot afford a sheet of paper!! On a positive note, the nurse who did the initial interview/tests was extremely good, very professional and pleasant. Would give her 10/10
