Review titled Exemplary care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Carol - Posted on 22 August 2023
My father was admitted being very ill with covid and lots of underlying conditions. We knew he wouldn’t survive. He was placed in the isolation ward and the care and attention he and us as a family received was second to none. The respect, caring, diligence, compassion, humanity displayed by all staff, including the cleaners, was simply outstanding. We were initially concerned about him being admitted as we’d have preferred he passed away at home, and this was an option that we had. However on balance we decided to keep him in the hospital and we definitely made the right choice. He was treated with dignity and respect at all times. I cannot praise this hospital enough and want to say thank you to everyone involved in my father’s care.

Review titled Amazing
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Olivia - Posted on 22 August 2023
I recently had Nuss bar surgery and I want to thank everyone involved. From the anaesthesia team, the surgery team, the doctors and nurses on the children’s ward even the physio. They gave me absolute care and attention, they made me feel comfortable and okay. I was unable to handle the pain and when I was in the second part of recovery before going to the childrens ward the nurses who were with me stayed longer than they should’ve because they wanted to help me and stay with me through the pain. Thank you to everyone, you made a scary experience into one of the best things ever, they way nurses who had seen me on day one saw me improve and got so excited for me made me happy. The way they comforted me when I made them aware that my cannula was hurting me and they decided to take it because it was kinked and unsafe to put back In. The physio who pushed me despite me hatred, thank you for putting up with me and my sass towards you guys. Everyone has made this an unforgettable experience and I can’t thank you enough

Review titled Outstanding Health/Medical Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Spike Menegaldo - Posted on 14 July 2023
Words cannot describe the incredible, marvellous service all the Health care Practioners provide in the Colorectal Surgery Department. In fact, the entire NHS service, from my GP surgery through to the Cpet Clinic, Ct Department, etc, etc has been simply excellent. I had the misfortune to be afflicted with a mildly serious illness, but I have the Good Fortune to be a recipient of the outstanding Medical Care of the staff in all the respective units outlined above.

Review titled Fantastic experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lucy Chambers - Posted on 21 June 2023
I have recently had a diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis and from start to finish my experience within the Rheumatology department ha been exemplary. From the staff on reception, to the nurse who took my blood pressure, to the consultant and physio, they were all incredibly patient, professional, welcoming and generally exceeded all expectations. I was seen within 15 minutes of arriving, not rushed when in my appointment and felt thoroughly heard by the consultant I saw. I had my meds changed and was offered an X-ray immediately. I went to the main hospital where the radiographer practically greeted me at the door and I had my scans. Within half an hour of being home I was contacted with results and had a really supportive discussion with the consultant. I then received two more appointments in the post within 24 hours. One of which was for today, only 6 days after my initial one. I saw a wonderful physiotherapist who again, did not rush me, was professional, understanding and made me feel better about the journey ahead. I have been signposted to great sources of support, seen many amazing professionals and already feel so much better than I did last week, and the new meds have not even kicked in yet. I really cannot thank everyone enough, you are all doing such a fabulous job and I have seen this in every single person I have encountered in the rheumatology department. Thank you all so much

Review titled All staff encountered were amazing!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Siobhan - Posted on 20 June 2023
I had two procedures recently, an ercp in early May and gallbladder removal last week. I can’t praise and thank all the staff I came across enough. Emergency staff, doctors, scan staff, porters, nurses, caterers, cleaners and surgeons all were caring, polite and considerate. Equipment wasn’t always working that well (that’s a government issue!) but they all delivered outstanding practise in my opinion. I was kept well informed of procedures and I felt listened to with worries and fears. My heartfelt thanks to a truly incredible team!

Review titled Staff Just Incredible.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 14 May 2023
I just wanted to say how appreciative I am of staff in ward f7. The nurses, doctors, Healthcare Assistants, porters and anaesthetists all went above board to make sure I felt safe and comfortable after needing emergency abdominal surgery. I felt completely looked after by every person here and wanted to give my upmost thankfulness to everyone that helped me. nhs healthcare workers truly went above and beyond to make my stay here feel as stress free as possible, and always had someone to voice my concerns to if I felt alone. I can’t express how thankful I am for my care. Thank you nhs heroes. You truly are incredible.
