Review titled Disappointed with the attitude of some of the staff
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Yolanda - Posted on 17 May 2024
I went for breast cancer surgery for the second time in one year, it was perfect on April 2023, sadly things have got bad just in a few months. It is so disorganised that they even forgot to send the letters with new appointments, on the day of the surgery I was waiting for 8 hours and I had nothing to eat for 24 hours, the attitude of the doctor was not sympathetic at all, I had lots of problems with the discharge process, total confusion, very rude staff, specially the woman carrying patients on a wheelchair, the refusal from the doctors to give me any pain killers to take home even when I was in pain and I live on my own. When I had breast cancer surgery a year ago I was given some strong painkillers to take home with a chart to write the times that I had to take the medication. Sadly it has been a total disaster this time, no sympathy at all from the staff. So disappointed and sad, I am trying to buy some strong painkillers online because the pain is unbearable and this time the doctors refused to give anything. I wish that it would have been as positive as it was 12 months ago.

Review titled Super appointment
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I came for an ultrasound scan, I felt nervous about what was going to happen. I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. The doctor and all nurses were welcoming, kind and immediately put me at ease. Every step was explained. All staff were extremely supportive and professional. Thank you so much, it made a scary experience really positive.

The wonderful nurse who booked my mum in to the Sandbourne Surgery ward was so lovely to her before her complex hip surgery. Her surgeon and anesthesiologist treated her with so much kindness. Everyone today was lovely and helped us relax. Thank you.

Review titled Not good
Rated 1 star out of 5

My Dad was let down badly by HDU. How can the NHS be made better if only good experiences are taken into account? My review is it about the NHS which is a fantastic service but this hospital is horrible

I have just had an overnight stay in the Acute medical unit and I was really impressed with the care of each member of the team . Especially the agency grade 6 that was running the unit .he could not do enough for his patients and went way above expectations to ensure each individual was treated with respect and felt valued. Thank you

Review titled Brilliant, thorough, professional
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Audrey Smith - Posted on 08 February 2024
My elderly mother 90+years young attended A&E following a fall. Despite a lengthy wait, (not the fault of the Staff) the care she eventually received was excellent and very thorough. All the staff we came into contact with worked with total dedication when operating under the unrelenting pressure of a very busy department, never failing to treat my Mother with consideration and friendliness. Thank you.

From arriving in the wrong place everyone I met was helpful. The nurse who triaged me and the Dr who saw me were respectful kind and thorough.

Review titled Kind and professional service
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Bryony Shaw - Posted on 10 January 2024
If at all possible, please can you pass on my thanks to the team who looked after me on Monday evening at Bournemouth Accident and Emergency. I arrived at 7pm and was seen by the triage nurse at around 9pm. My visit was due to a recent bad flare up of my Menieres disease. The triage nurse was very polite and helpful and the Dr I saw was lovely! He injected a bit of humour into the situation and was pro-active and professional. Unfortunately, I can't remember either of their names, however, I doubt you had many other Menieres cases between 7-10pm on Monday night! All in all, a very positive experience and I'm very grateful for the care I received.

Dear Bryony Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and it is pleasing to hear you were seen relatively quickly and cared for well by the team on duty that evening. I do hope the injection of humour was helpful for you and wasn’t too painful 😊 We will certainly pass on your kind comments to the department who will share your comments with the staff members who looked after you.
