  1. Review titled Community cardiology team ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Grateful family - Posted on 05 July 2024

    Following a heart attack & 4 cardiac stents earlier this year my husband was referred to the community team for follow up care and rehab. He was initially very anxious due to his newly diagnosed cardiac disease, but this team are brilliant at rehabilitating and rebuilding their patients confidence levels. The staff are incredibly friendly, sympathetic and extremely knowledgeable and found a way to make my husband feel like himself again. He was enrolled on twelve rehab sessions, which were held twice weekly in Stanley, and the trainer and nurses were incredible every session and made the whole process enjoyable. What a great team, Thank You.

  2. Review titled Polite staff

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    Impressed with consultation and was taken in on time. Very quiet and relaxing department. My only issue was the cleanliness of the toilets. They were out dated and felt unclean. Rest of the hospital was airy and light

  3. Review titled Poor Hygiene standards in main area of Hospital

    Rated 3 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 12 June 2024

    Visited the unit on the 11th June with my Daughter. The public toilet was extremely dirty with soiled toilet seat, also there was no soap in the dispenser to wash hands. We visited 4 separate hand gel units around the hospital with no product in any of them. The main reception staff when I asked for a patient feedback form told me they did not have any and just to go online. On a very positive note the Colposcopy unit provided excellent care with a professional and friendly relaxed manner. As NHS staff I feel this needs to be highlighted as a matter of urgency in line with infection control issues.

  5. Review titled Great out of hours care

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by HML - Posted on 15 March 2024

    Phoned NHS111 on a Saturday morning as we had come away for the weekend but had forgotten one of my son's epilepsy meds. Doctor from Shotley Bridge Out of Hours services called us back within half an hour. They managed to find a supply of the medicine and issued us with a prescription which we collected from Shotley Bridge and took to Durham hospital. Got the meds by 11am. Very relieved and very grateful to the doctor for finding somewhere with a supply (it's a new drug so high street pharmacies don't stock it). They were sympathetic and didn't make me feel stupid for having forgotten to pack the medicine. Thanks for all your help.

  7. Review titled Lovely staff, good experience

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Lucy - Posted on 27 April 2023

    After a horrendous experience at UHND (for a different issue) last week which is resulting in a serious complaint, I feel I have to feed back about a positive and excellent experience today at Shotley bridge hospital. I was here today for a pelvic scan (and also physio in a separate appointment which was also helpful). The staff were friendly, lovely, kind, professional, reassuring and explained the scan and that all was ok - a totally different experience to last week. I actually felt cared about today and what a huge difference this makes to me. Thankyou to the two staff who I’ve seen today for my scan (and also the physio), please send my thanks to them.

  9. Review titled Excellent care

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Sheila - Posted on 31 January 2023

    Many thanks for the excellent care and service I received at Shotley Bridge when I broke my wrist. From the appointment being made by 111, followed immediately by a call from Urgent Care to attend sooner, so that I would I would be able to have an Xray at Shotley before that department closed, the care could not have been better. I avoided A&E at Durham on a Friday evening and had excellent kind care from all staff with no waiting. Thanks also for the great service and care at the Plaster Room at Durham the following morning. I feel fortunate to have such service.

  10. Review titled Amazing staff

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Marjorie - Posted on 22 December 2022

    I was having a mole removed on the day surgery unit. The staff were kind and friendly they made me feel welcome and reassured. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I was kept informed at every stage of the procedure. Then given very clear instructions for after care. The set up that they use by giving patients their own room meant that my husband was also welcome to wait and felt very comfortable doing so. I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone.
