Review titled Amazing care for my father in his final days
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sandra - Posted on 26 December 2023
My 87 year old father was rushed to A&E at 2am with a bad infection. The 2 doctors on shift advised he had hours to live and we were given a side room. The care and attention the nurses and doctors was fantastic, we couldn't fault the service. It was like private health care. They even arranged Chaplin services for prayers which called an out of hours Chaplin within 20 mins. We were given regular updates and they were so caring with my dad in his final days. NHS at its absolute best.

Thank you for looking after my 93 year old mother last night with such great care and kindness. Particularly the doctor on call and the kind receptionist who helped me when I arrived.

Review titled Spinal unit education
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 November 2023
I had the opportunity to attended the spinal unit for training purposes. I would like to tell you my journey. As soon as we entered the entrance we were met by a friendly member of staff. We were given information about our day. On the ward, the nurses were friendly, kind and very informative. We were shown around. Also, staff not involved with us smiled at us, said hello. This may seen a little thing, but its the cornerstone of a friendly environment. All the staff were great, informative, and they created a friendly, kind learning environment, which makes one feel comfortable to ask questions and learn. Absolutely fantastic experience. Thank

Review titled Faint praise!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Nigel Waugh - Posted on 08 October 2023
My daughter fainted this afternoon whist visiting her grandmother(-in-law) at her nursing home. I, her dad, was with her. Nursing home staff rang 999 and a First Responder arrived within minutes. He duly checked all her vital signs and passed the information on to the two ambulance men who arrived about five minutes later! She was taken to Southport and Formby District Hospital A&E department and received immediate attention upon arrival. She was looked after so well by all of you! We are in awe of all you do - my daughter is a Health Care Assistant in a Scots’ hospital Vascular unit - so was particularly appreciative of being looked after so attentively! Thank you so much for giving her her ‘mot’ once again after a scary couple of hours!

Review titled Cannot thank you enough
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lin - Posted on 04 September 2023
I was brought to A&E after a serious fall and was seen really quickly. I had an X-ray and it was assessed I could not go home that evening as I was unable to weight bear. I was admitted to the ward in A&E where I was looked after really well. The next day the nurses were so caring and arranged transport home for me. I was very impressed how they dealt with so many people and I am very grateful to them.

Review titled Fantastic joined up service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rebecca Fearn - Posted on 17 July 2023
I attended A&E with pain due to gallstones. I could not believe how quickly I was triaged, seen by nurse, then doctor, sent for x Ray and admitted. Fantastic service, staff and clear explanation of all the next steps. I was in a quiet room and didn't want to move onto the ward when a bed became free. Thank you all those who cared for me so well, long live the NHS and medals to all the staff please!
