Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anthony platt - Posted on 15 January 2024
Went to my appointment 7th Jan seen the the dermatologist who was very informative and she reassuringly explained the process that I needed 2 lesions removing and I should be seen in 2weeks, I've since rang up dermatology and ive been informed that it could be about 4/5weeks of waiting but my concern is how do i know were I am on the waiting list the reason for this is that if I knew my date then I can plan what I'm doing and also know were I am on there waiting list.

Review titled 8 hours of waiting
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 14 January 2024
After 8 long hours of waiting in a very dirty waiting room the doctors word was sadly “I can can not pint point any issue” and sent me home with strong pain killers. I’m still in pain and don’t know what to do or where to go to get help.

Dear Anonymous Thank you for taking the time to post your experience. We were sorry to hear about your lengthy wait and that you are still in pain following your visit. Our Emergency Department’s role is to rule out and treat immediately life and limb threatening problems. For any ongoing symptoms, they would advise patients to seek community management, such as GP, pharmacy etc. As the doctor was able to confirm that there were no signs of acute serious illness, we would reinforce that you seek further advice from your GP or Pharmacy on this occasion. We will also forward your comments regards the environment to the senior leadership team for them to review and we hope that your situation resolves very soon. Kind regards The Patient Experience Team

Review titled Wait time for an appointment 90 weeks
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Tony Pearson - Posted on 31 January 2024
Having waited 26 weeks for an appointment today I was told it hasn’t been too long because the wait is up to 90 weeks so I only have another year to wait !! This is in addition to waiting already since June 2023 for a referral to be made to Salford in October. The website states average wait for 9/10 is up to 18 weeks this is clearly not the case !!!

I was referred for a dermatology issue and have been so impressed with the speed with which I have been seen following an initial assessment, the professionalism of the staff including those booking appointments for me, and the communication throughout the process. Absolutely brilliant all round. Thank you so much.

Review titled Excellent Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by colin packham - Posted on 20 December 2023
I had thyroid removal surgery on 8/12/2023 and after the surgery was put on Ward b2. The care I received was excellent, kept me up to date with everything that was happening, always made sure I was comfortable and always on time with medication. Nothing was too much trouble and there was a nice friendly atmosphere on the ward with staff and patients. Even now 8 days after I was discharged a parcel has arrived in the post with my phone charger in that I had left behind so good honest staff as well as they easily could of put it in lost property or just told me they had it but to post it to me without me even asking them if I had left it there was a really nice thing to do. This was my first ever stay in hospital and my impression of the Nhs , Salford Royal and particularly all the staff on Ward b2 couldn’t be any higher. Thank you.

Review titled 14 hour wait, walked out
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 December 2023
Arrived at A&E at 3pm with redness and pain in my arm. Told it was an internal infection, possible sepsis by the on call GP. Refereed over to A&E canular fitted ready for IV antibiotics. After several hours maybe 6 was told I was to be seen soon. Ended up walking home at 5am still not being seen. I am now going to go elsewhere to be seen. Absolutely diabolical. I completely understand the NHS is in crisis, however 14 hours, I just hope I don’t have sepsis.
