Review titled Outstanding Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Hetal Padhiar - Posted on 16 April 2024
I just want to say thank you to all the midwives that looked after me at my care. The day I was admitted I was satisfied with the service they would answer you straight away when needed. They would tell you every thing every step of the way. The day I was discharged I was happy to leave because I wasn’t in that much pain anymore and I was prescribed with medication in my leave. They would provide you with breakfast, snack, lunch and dinner as well and ask how we was and check up on you every couple of hours to make sure everything was good. The service that was provided was very outstanding and I was impressed and if I would be in the same time of pain again and back on the antenatal ward I know they would provide great care. No matter what whatever type of pain you was in they would provide you with pain relief and help you through everything. I would like to thank all the midwives who would ask me all the time if I was in pain and asked if I wanted any pain relief or anything. Overall, I wanna say thank you to all the midwives for looking after me thank you very much and may god bless you all.

I totally understand why you cannot name individuals, but in this case it is a pity as every single individual in this process from start to finish has been exceptional. From my first investigative visit, through to the booking process for the surgery and finally the procedure today, I cannot thank everybody enough. The care and attention from each person I came into touch with was second to none. From my personal experience, where this service will only ever fail, will be down to the sheer demand now on it and not the individuals within. True professional from start to finish……thanks again.

Review titled Avoid at all costs
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 April 2024
My partner went into A & E after having a funny turn with his diabetes and felt extremely poorly with it . He as high risk diabetes. He went up there and was told by a member of staff they can’t check his bloods as they haven’t got the equipment there and tried to send him to the other local hospital . He can’t drive because of his diabetes and expected him to get a bus up there , he refused as was too poorly , he was seen eventually and needed to be flushed out as his keytones were dangerously high . This department is a joke . Very rude staff that really don’t know what they are doing . The elderly were left in corridors for hours asleep . Total shambles

Review titled Broken system
by GDF - Posted on 03 April 2024
Visited recently with sick father. Apprehensive to attend queens in the first place based on previous experience - wish I would have gone with my gut instinct on this one. 12 hours later - I am still sat waiting with my dad hoping to see a doctor. Doctors are essentially non existent ! Nurses are disinterested and unhelpful - borderline rude at times and when asking for any guidance or information you are practically guilt tripped and looked at as if you have questioned their capacity for care. I am fully aware of the strains and pressure that the NHS is under - and I fully respect the job they do. But this hospital is totally ineffective and broken. Avoid the urgent care centres as they are understaffed and treatment is patchy at best. Night shifts are absolutely useless - if you have to attend get in for the day staff who seem slightly better equipped to deal with the load. To be honest I would fully avoid this hospital at all costs. I think it’s more the case that people will start to go private based on these kind of experiences. Sadly that will spell the end for the NHS ! Unfortunate but queens needs a drastic overhaul - or simply shut it down all together.

Review titled Outstanding Staff Member
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Claire Callan-Day - Posted on 18 April 2024
Just wanted to let you know that we were looked after today by the Sister giving prep packs in Clinical Diagnostic and felt compelled to tell you how amazing she is. What a wonderful way about her she had to put us at ease. A real character of a woman, funny and empathetic. An asset to your hospital! I noted her name but am not allowed to include it in this review I am told. I hope you are able to identify her though, she deserves the recognition.

Review titled Worst experience
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Rachel - Posted on 17 April 2024
As a young woman suffering gynaecological problems ongoing getting pushed aside false diagnosis from practitioners. I have been Waiting 24hours+ for a abdominal scan expressing pain and discomfort to be tossed aside arrived to the gynae unit and had to wait 5 hours to be admitted still 24 hours on no treatment no scan or no help - feel very sorry for young woman in this Country suffering any gynaecological isssues with the zero support and help we get. What an earth does our tax and national insurance contribute towards? Never recommend this unit or hospital.

Review titled A Thank You To Day Surgey 24/04/2024
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Sophie G - Posted on 30 May 2024
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who worked with me on my surgery day. The surgery for me was a long time coming, and I was extremely nervous. But wow was everyone there incredible. My nurse was fantastic, shame I cannot mention her name as she deserves a huge thank you. Everyone was so caring, the student nurses were lovely too. My anaesthetist kept me calm through the whole thing. He talked to me about holidays and everything else apart from what was happening. It really helped. Praised me when I had the needle done. The guys who were the porters were lovely as well. Said I deserved some apple crumble. The nurses gave me an extra yogurt too. Each nurse helped in their own way, and were ready to help at any time. They spoke to me like a person not a patient. The manager should be proud of their staff. The lady who took care of me when I woke up stayed and spoke to me to keep me at ease. Overall, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who took care of me last week. You don’t know how much it meant to me. You kept me safe and at ease. You should be proud. You are who makes the NHS. Thank you.

Review titled Great experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by John - Posted on 30 April 2024
This morning was a great experience. Not for the first time, I have had to contact the hepatology department over blood test forms or prescriptions. They are amazing for their care, efficiency and friendly. They always do all they can to accommodate, and over the past 10 years I have felt myself to be in excellent hands. This is a great department.

Review titled What a joke
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Wow - Posted on 20 March 2024
The system they have in place is set up more like a walk in centre not a a&e department, I have seen some things in my time but this was a cut above the rest. I felt like I was stuck in ikea with no way out, pelc and the hospital didn’t have a clue what each other was doing and by the time we was 4/5 hours into the wait we had completed two laps of the ground floor and felt more like a porter than a patient. The staff offered no drinks or food and even tho they could see the amount of pain I was in didn’t even offer pain relief. Since covid they are using the corridors as wards and they are lined with beds that are full of patients, I asked how long they had been there and most of then around two/three days it was like something from a third world country. Covid isn’t an excuse anymore and clearly this hospital isn’t working and failing its patients and community. Its clear to see how the nhs is falling apart at the seems and when asked about the doctors they highlighted they was seriously under staffed and this is again clear to see. As a society we have come to accept this as normal, and the reality is this isn’t normal and something needs to be done and government needs to be held accountable for its actions and cuts to the frontline services !
