Review titled Excellent care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Faye - Posted on 12 May 2023
I attended with my 7 month old baby boy after seeing a GP the day prior and being told he had a viral infection and didn’t need antibiotics. The nurse ensured my baby had a thorough check up, diagnosed him very swiftly, administered medication there and then to reduce his temperature and kept him in there care until they were satisfied that his temperature was at a normal level. They then prescribed antibiotics. They were absolutely great with both me and him. I believe the children’s urgent care is a vital service at South Tyneside Hospital and the staff there are an asset to the NHS

It is the only accident and emergency facility that I could get to and I was treated with great care and staff who listened to my symptoms where my gp did not, they helped get a possible diagnosis after months of not being taken seriously.

We were at the main reception at about 13.00hrs on 28.3. The Receptionist on duty was exceptionally professional and courteous. Interacting with her showed me how bad some of my experiences have been. She was amazing.

Review titled Very helpful
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 May 2023
I have 4 children, and have visited children’s A&E a number of times in the past year. More so because it is so difficult to get a GP appointment. Every single time, the staff have been kind and caring, courteous and appreciative of our personal circumstances. I would highly recommend using the service if needed.

Review titled Great Children’s A&E
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 May 2023
Staff is extremely helpful and caring. There were at least 5 times in the last 12 months when I visited the children’s A&E with my little girl when she was poorly with UTIs, croup, ear infection, tonsillitis and other conditions that required antibiotics when I wasn’t able to get a GP appointment. This service is crucial to our local area. Otherwise I’d have to go to either Newcastle or Sunderland hospital which are much busier and much further away making it less accessible and more difficult to get quick help. The only downside is that it’s closed overnight so in case of emergency late in the night, the closest children’s unit are further away which isn’t ideal. The hospital in South Shields plays a vital role in the local community providing medical help and support to everyone in need in the area.

Review titled Great bunch of professionals!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Helen - Posted on 18 January 2023
I attended the Surgical Day Care unit at the hospital for surgery to correct a problematic bunion and toe. From the moment I registered my attendance, staff were pleasant, professional and respectful. I was kept informed at every stage of the procedures that were to be performed by the surgeon and appointed nurses. Every credit to all of the teams who worked extremely hard, on a busy schedule, which ran like clockwork. This filled me with great confidence, not only for my own successful outcome, but admiration for a great bunch of professionals I had the pleasure to meet on the day.
