Review titled Radiotherapy Department
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Ken Murphy - Posted on 22 May 2024
I started a short course of treatment, five sessions, last week, finishing today, I was struggling physically at the beginning, due to other complications, your staff have been so friendly, kind, helpful and understanding it has made the whole process easy for me whereas it could have been incredibly difficult. I would like to pass on a big thank you for for your kind and caring attitude and approach.

Review titled Nightmare to get hold of
by Debbie - Posted on 16 April 2024
My daughter had a seizure in December 23, her 1st seizure in 15 years. She was put on medication for Epilepsy and since starting it she can not sleep. Trying to get hold of anyone to get some help as her mental health worsens due to no sleep is a nightmare. I lost my sister to SUDEP and this is causing a lot of upset for my daughter and wider family and there is no empathy care or support. Really disappointed and frustrated with it all :(. If you have the option go somewhere else.

Review titled Extremely professional
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Janet Baldock - Posted on 06 April 2024
This was my first experience of A&E in Shrewsbury hospital and I found it extremely professional. There was an air of businesslike amongst the staff and there is nothing I could complain about - good for you!

Review titled Excellent experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Susie Lovett - Posted on 14 February 2024
I attended the day surgery unit with my son, who has a learning disability. I worked at the trust for many happy years and so have felt saddened by negative reports of the nhs. Our experience was totally positive and restored our faith in the nhs. It was a very clean, calm and pleasant environment. Staff were friendly, helpful and respectful towards my son. The whole unit seemed well managed . Well done to everyone!

Review titled Feel the support is lacking
by Home Hemodialysis user - Posted on 11 January 2024
I am a home haemodialysis patient under the care of SATH home HD, I have had a few issues with my dialysis machine over the last few months resulting in the renal techs having to attend my property. I had a serious fault on my machine a few days ago and 2 renal techs came out to identify / resolve the issue, I was told the machine was OK and it was completing a heat disinfect program then it would shut down. When I used the machine the next day a button on screen for taking a BP was missing, I reported this to the tech team at SATH and an engineer was booked. I completed my session with no problems and the techs arrived shortly after, 2 techs arrived and they could not access the machine software as their card when inserted in the machine did not register so they had to leave to obtain a working card. When they returned they spent some time trying to resolve and in the end a part was identified as being fitted incorrect inside the machine. A lead was plugged in with 1 pin bent or misaligned, the one tech said what it was and I asked the other if they had unplugged the part on their previous visit, they assured me this part had not been removed or refitted on previous visit, the first tech said it must have been like this since I had the machine yet until the previous visit I had used the BP cuff on the machine pre and post dialysis for over a year and it was not until the previous visit by the tech did it disappear. I found the tech very rude and adamant it could not have worked in its current state and they would not take my point of me actually using it 4 times a week for over a year. I understand the NHS are short staffed and work extremely hard but to behave like that in my home is both offending and insulting. I have refrained from reporting the issue as I am hoping the member of staff was having a bad day, but it will not allow a repeat performance. First bad comment I have had to make about the renal team but I feel it was disgusting behaviour. I need to have confidence in the machine as well as the support network that allows home hemodialysis, I save the NHS a lot of money by dialising at home rather than in hospital treatment, at the moment it feels lacking

Review titled Restorative dentist visit for consultation dissappointment
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Patient advocate - Posted on 05 February 2024
Unfortunately, due to a dentist removing 3 teeth which is severely effecting my life and causing medical issues including nutritional deficiencies from inability to chew my food and pain associated with it, I had to be referred here to see a restorative specialist to get some bridges. However, the restorative dentist refused to do me this bridgework after I put in the effort to come here despite my disability which makes going out difficult and tiring. He blamed me saying I do not clean my teeth which is untrue as I do them twice daily thoroughly to best of my ability as well as going regularly to my dentist. It is actually a hormone drug that I was given for too long to stop my menstruation as a treatment for endometriosis that made my tooth enamel wear down and weaken needing fillings and nothing to do with me not looking after my teeth and these unfounded and deeply personal accusations made me feel really upset and cry. He displayed a lack of compassion or understanding about my situation and had no knowledge of this hormone drug that I was prescribed to put me into a temporary menopause but which I came off for a few years now due to noticing damage to my teeth while taking it. This drug as it is a hormone that effects bones and calcium is known to effect teeth in the way mine have been. I honestly would not have taken it if I had been warned about it by my gynaecologist at another hospital who gave it me but decided myself to come off it to save my teeth as I saw how badly it was damaging them and have never had teeth issues like this before then so know it was this drug and not my brushing. I feel this is just being used as an excuse to deny me any teeth replacements and he is just leaving me without any teeth replacements and one is right in front where people can see it and this is really effecting my quality of life as I cannot eat properly, got vitamin deficiencies from being unable to chew properly, got digestive issues from poor chewing ability, got pain in exposed gums whenever something touches it, teeth have visibly moved due to 5 years of being left without any teeth there allowing them to shift, bite uneven and messed up from teeth shifting into places where teeth are missing which is a well known and common thing that happens after years of leaving them unreplaced, noticeable speech impediment to a point people cannot understand what I am saying which really upsets me, further damage to my adjacent teeth due to missing area making biting and chewing work being taken on more by teeth next to missing teeth wearing them down much faster and chipping them, pain in jaw from having to chew much much harder and difficulties and bad bite from teeth shifting, etc. I really would appreciate and be grateful to be offered these bridges for these 3 missing teeth as it would immensely help me recover my overall quality of life and get my vitamin deficiencies under control as I would be able to chew again like normal. Still suffering.

Review titled First class attention
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Stuart Foley - Posted on 16 January 2024
Following a 111 call I made, I was booked in at the Urgent Treatment Centre at Shrewsbury Hospital. A short wait and I was shown into a clinic and given helpful advice and a prescription to help with my shoulder pain-very helpful and pleasant staff.
