Review titled Wonderful service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

My mum recently had surgery to remove a tumour on her foot and subsequent plastic surgery. Her treatment has been exemplary by everyone concerned. Every single member of staff, including at her fortnightly appointments in outpatients, has been so kind and professional toward her. Today we saw her surgeon who has now signed her off. Thank you all so much for the terrific service you provide.

Review titled Left with confidence
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by ANGELA MARGARET M CASE - Posted on 30 July 2024
I had an appointment with Cardiology Department at Southend Hospital after having a cardiac scan and stress test. The clinic was very busy, but I saw the consultant who I thought was extremely personable and friendly, after explaining the diagnosis and we felt like ‘rabbits in the headlight’, but when he explained the next steps I felt reassured. My journey with the Cardiac Department is not over, but I go forward with confidence. Thank you

Review titled Prostate Diagnosis and Treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Dave Spicer - Posted on 21 July 2024
After being diagnosed with prostate cancer in late February 2024. I was referred to Southend Hospital Urology department for further treatment. All of the staff that I met on my journey through from diagnosis, surgery and recovery were amazing. I was treated with respect, professionalism and sympathetically throughout my treatment. All of my concerns and questions were answered honestly by all of the various departments that I encountered. My surgery was carried out by one of the consultants at the hospital. I had appointments with the consultant who again explained very clearly my condition and the various treatments that were available, the choice of which was up to me to decide which I thought was most suitable. I chose to have the full Prostectomy surgery option, again this was explained to me in full detail to confirm my understanding of the procedure and likely outcome. My experience on the day of the surgery in the Elective surgery suite was very calm and reassuring, my surgical procedure was explained to me again and the team there answered some more questions that I had. After surgery I was admitted on to the Princesss Ann ward. They looked after me amazingly well and ensured I was comfortable at all times. On my release from the ward I was handed over the Southend Urology Clinical Nurse Specialists Enhanced Recovery Team who were absolutely brilliant they continued to provide full support in person and via phone if I had any concerns or questions. I first met this team early on in my diagnosis, they really had the gritty job of filling in the gaps about what to expect after surgery. They handled this very well and even adding some humour into their presentation, which really helped. After my surgery I was contacted on a weekly basis by this team to confirm/discuss any after surgery issues, and even now if I need anything I only need to give them a call. Every department that I went through deserves my sincere thanks and appreciation for all of their excellent work and total commitment. However this Enhanced Recovery Team just gets the edge on their help and support. Being diagnosed with any form of cancer is extremly worrying for both the patient and family, however I can only say a big Thank You to the whole Urology Team at Southend Hospital for their excellent treatment. I can provide names of the people who I think went the extra mile, however for this review providing names is not permitted.

Review titled GP service at A&E
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Bad back - Posted on 08 June 2024
I have a physical job and injured my back was barley able to move I phoned my normal GP to make an appointment I haven’t been since 2002 and was told 2 weeks wait, I was not able to wait the 2 weeks duration with my pain So I visited the A&E center. Which was well organised and was assessed almost immediately I was sent to the GP department. The ladies at the desk were very pleasant I had to wait which was understandable, while waiting it’s was raining quite heavy and some older guy came in and had taken the wrong route they explained where he had to go which seemed quite a walk for this gent, the lady said but your not going that way in this and took him the inside route. Which was nice to witness. I saw the DR I can’t remember her name but she was absolutely brilliant so caring and genuine. My experience made me wonder what was the point of local GP’s but this sort of thing put even more unnecessary strain on A&E who really do their best to help people. Would especially like to thank the DR who I saw she also had to break the news to another gent in a wheelchair waiting for a bed and went outside in the pouring rain to explain and talk with him amazing what I witnessed this lady deserves a medal thank you
