  1. Review titled Disappointed

    Rated 3 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 14 July 2024

    Would not normally not bother with having a say but on this occasion I feel it would benefit all who visit the site and those that work there too. I applaud the efforts made to be in a position to erect signage and proclaim to be proud a smoke free site. However the number of individuals stood within feets of the entrance with smoke blowing past the signage presumably to prevent this was astonishing, especially when there are members of staff, ambulance operatives, security guard, just wondering past whilst the individuals blissfully continue to exhale smoke into the paths of many who without choice have to pass by. It not as though it's not obvious it's happening, with the shear number ends littering the walkways and the small mounds of cigarette ends gingerly piled on top of the rubbish bins. I can only hope my little concern for those who have to visit may encourage some action to be taken to educate further the reasons for initially making the site smoke free. Look forward to hearing from you. Appreciate your time, thank you.

  3. Review titled Brilliant experience

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Holly - Posted on 17 July 2024

    I was in to have my first surgery and to say I was terrified is an understatement. But from the minute I checked in at Day Surgery I was treated fantastic. Every member of staff who dealt with me was incredibly understanding, calming, thorough and kind; which made the entire process much easier for me. All the staff there from admin, nurses, doctors, anaesthetists etc deserve all the praise. I can't thank you enough.

    I visited the MRI Department on the 7.7.24, i would just like to say thanks to all the team, especially to S she was absolutely fantastic with me, so patient and reassuring, to say she went above and beyond is an understatement, she is such a lovely person, and has given me the confidence to have the next one done, and big thank you to you all.

  6. Review titled Excellent care .

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Mrs Chris Grasso - Posted on 12 June 2024

    I visited the Gynaecology department this afternoon 12th June, at Russell Hall Hospital. I cannot thank the doctor and nursing staff enough for all their care and thoughtfulness shown to me. I was treated with such kindness from when I arrived at the reception desk and throughout the time I spent in the department. The NHS at its very best and I’m truly grateful for for the prompt appointment I was given .All the staff had a smile on their face and that helped so much to take away any nervousness I was feeling. Thank you all so much .

  7. Review titled SDEC - Patient Experience

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Kimberley - Posted on 15 June 2024

    The care received by the Nurse Practitioner (L) on SDEC was outstanding. I was treated with person centred care, dignity and respect. At a very scary time he reassured me and he was kind and caring and explained everything throughly. Not all staff get the recognition they deserve but he truly deserves it. My treatment was met with the urgency it required by both L and A the consultant. They both made a very difficult visit as comfortable as possible. I was included in all of my care and it was explained to me throughout. The registrar was very professional and he explained everything and I felt like he really cared about the situation.
