Review titled A truly outstanding hospital
by April78 - Posted on 09 January 2024
Was unfortunate to have a serious Injury at work which resulted in a severed finger and fractures in other fingers. From the moment I was admitted until discharge the care I received at this hospital was outstanding. I stayed 2 nights on the Ross Tilley ward over Christmas and the nursing care was outstanding at all times. I am continuing my treatment with the consultants clinic , the dressing clinic and hand therapy unit and all members of staff both medical and admin have been brilliant. A truly outstanding hospital.

Review titled Completely useless
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 November 2023
Went to urgent care with a UTI which is shows they should be able to assist with according to the hospital's own website. When we arrived we were just told to take a seat. Nobody at this point took my our name or why we were there. After half an hr wait we taken to triage and was then asked for our details. We explained the symptoms and was told they couldn't help as they don't do prescriptions. Again, this is contrary to what is shown on the NHS details online for this service. We then were told to go to another emergency centre. It was a complete waste of everyone's time, including the hospital staff. If they do not treat this, then don't show it on the website, and the staff should be asking why we are there when we first arrive rather than making us wait when they are unable to help. Crawley was excellent when we went there, so we will not return to this service again as completely useless.

Review titled Aggressive skin cancer
by Harry625 - Posted on 05 January 2024
I cannot speak highly enough about the treatment I received from initial referral through 3 operations. From the outset I was treated with warmth by all staff who were very friendly from reception right through to surgery and recovery. Every person introduced themselves by their first name, described their role in simple terms, provided clear and unequivocal information regarding my cancer and the procedures that they would be performing including the associated risks. The time and care provided was exemplary, nothing was rushed or too much trouble. Their world appeared to revolve around me, even adapting dressings appointments to facilitate previous commitments. On my one night stay on Daisy ward I was treated like a VIP with the same warm friendly care and attention.

Review titled Brilliant Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Maureen Smith - Posted on 15 September 2023
From initial consultation leading to op all staff from reception to arrival in theatre were very caring, helpful and friendly. The team in theatre put me at my ease. I had local anaesthetic in my lower leg and was reassured by team at all times during the process. I am now resting at home having been given recovery instructions. Check up in a week’s time. I was originally registered as an in patient but was able to go home same day. I am so thankful for the treatment I received from all medical staff.

Review titled A lovely example of NHS teamwork at its best
by Mummy M - Posted on 23 November 2023
I brought my child to the minor injuries team as they'd injured their arm during PE at school. The nurse in minor injuries was reassuring and helpful as was the lovely team in radiography. It was the first x-ray my child had received and they were understandably scared. One of the assistants reassured them, explained what the noises were etc and made the whole experience much better than it could have been. A lovely example of NHS teamwork at its best. (And thankfully just a sprain, no break).

by Daniella Mills - Posted on 28 August 2023
This is a super busy department, however the care and kindness shown to me were second to none. From reception to x-ray, physio to consultant and all the staff in surgery, I was blown away. And I just want to say thank you for helping me in my time of need. Xx

I’m not from this area but had an accident which involved breaking my collar bone, the doctors and nurses that looked after me were really good and had an amazing bedside manner, I was in there for a long time but it was busy so it’s to be expected

Review titled Thoughtful, kind, clean and friendly
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Emma Logie - Posted on 14 June 2023
I just had day surgery, wisdom teeth removal under general anesthesia. Every single person I encountered from the various receptions right through to nurses, surgeons and health care workers were friendly and kind. I've never been at a more thoughtful hospital. Little things like dressing you in your gown, providing ice cream in recovery and sending you home with pain relief and ice packs - without asking for it at all - made a huge difference. There was a wait but because of the thoughtfulness of the staff I didn't feel any frustration.
