Review titled You saved my life
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sophie bayliss - Posted on 27 March 2024
I was rushed in on Saturday 23rd by ambulance, I suffered a secondary post partum hemorrhage. The surgeons and maternity unit were amazing and I cannot express my gratitude enough to these wonderful people, to all involved. It's because of these people and the paramedics that my children still have their mother and my partner still has me. While I was recovering in high dependency unit there was one midwife on both nights who was so lovely and I'll never forget her along with the rest of the team. All staff were lovely to me and I hope that they all know how amazing they truly are!!. Thank you so so so much, I'm so thankful that I'm still here to be with my family, words could never express. The trauma me and my family suffered was made a little easier from everyone caring for me and my partner while he waited to hear news of how I got on in surgery. Sending so much love, gratitude and thanks from me and my little family to all those who cared for me, I truly wish you all stay blessed in life and recieve the recognition you all deserve for saving me and making sure I got home to my partner and kids.

Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Caroline Emery - Posted on 09 April 2024
On my way back from the village I managed to trip myself up and landed down hard on the right side of my face. My son took me to A&E where we waited to be treated. When it was my turn to be looked at I was told I needed stitches. So the nurse did just that and a beautiful job he did of it too. Thank you. Thank you to all the staff there, they do long shifts and are always moving at speed.

Review titled Excellent care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Amanda - Posted on 11 March 2024
I attended A & E today after my GP asked me to attend after concerns about blood test results. I was seen almost immediately by a triage nurse, then within a few minutes I saw a doctor, had my blood pressure taken and blood samples taken. The doctor I saw was very kind and caring despite them being very busy and popped out to the waiting room periodically to apologise for my wait for the blood test results and to assure me they would update me asap. I could not not have asked for better treatment and care than I received today. I was in and out in under 3 hrs. I am so very grateful for the care and kindness I received today. We'll done everyone in A & E

Review titled Wonderful experience and treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Emily - Posted on 06 May 2024
I had my baby at Russell’s hall and from pregnancy to the birth it was a wonderful experience. I have never felt more cared for. The midwives and consultants were brilliant throughout. I am a plus sized lady and always had worries about how I’d be treated during pregnancy but I had nothing but care and dignity through out and my weight was never mentioned negatively or at all. The sonographers were also wonderful and highly skilled. My whole pregnancy and birth journey was great. It was also nice to have a consultant doctor empower me when discussing birth options rather than being scare mongered. The birth journey was brilliant, me and baby were well cared. I found midwives on the ward during Labour and after so friendly and skilled, as were the maternity support workers. The surgeon I had during theatre was incredible and really took good care of me. Thank you for looking after me and baby.

Review titled A well oiled machine.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by A. Hughes - Posted on 14 March 2024
Attended G.I.(endoscopy) for a procedure ( the second in less than a month) and on both occasions everything ran smoothly like a well oiled machine. Staff were helpful, courteous and explained everything clearly and concisely. Nothing could be faulted or criticised in any way whatsoever. Sincere thanks to everyone I came in contact with.
