I was not fully satisfied with the care that I received whilst in a and e as they only assessed one issue which was my right ankle but I also have pain in my knee which wasn’t really dealt with at the time

Review titled Excellent care and service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Carol Weston - Posted on 18 July 2024
I didn’t want to trouble hospital but was referred by 111.All staff were professional,kind and gave explanations for their actions despite being very busy, In particular 2 doctors I saw one in ED and one in SDEC were wonderful examples of caring professionals. The Dr I saw in SDEC was an example of the Dr you would want all your family to see,so compassionate and thorough,giving clear explanations and rationale for her actions. I was impressed by the service I received from everyone.

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.

Review titled Day Case Surgical Unit fantastic
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 August 2024
I was so pleased with the treatment that i received from the staff in the Day Case Unit, they were exceptional. They are all lovely staff and are so helpful and thoughtful. From the time i arrived, through to returning post op i could not have asked for nicer staff. Even discharge was seamless all the information was given in a package but they also sat and went through everything too. Well done to the day case unit. You deserve a reward.

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.

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 .

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.
