Review titled Blood appointment management
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Alistair D Lawrie - Posted on 23 February 2024
Trying to confirm/cancel a blood appointment. That department Blood sciences is not listed, and computerised message could not understand the word 'blood'. And there is no opportunity to leave a message, which rather defeats the aims of notifying of a cancellation. The 'new' system is impersonal and makes no tolerance for elderly and/or non-geeks probably a very high percentage of your users would fall into these groups. This is not a complaint. This Trust has given me an extra 20 years of life by treating several life-threatening illnesses. Good Luck.

Review titled No results!
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Robert M Ross - Posted on 03 May 2024
I had a bone scan at St Albans Hospital on 20th February 2024. Excellent friendly service completed at appointment time. I was told I would get the results in 4-5 weeks time, but nearly twelve weeks later I have not had the results! And of course there is no contact number or email address to chase the up!

Review titled Excellent care in the Fracture Clinic
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Biddy Sweeting - Posted on 26 February 2024
I attended the Fracture Clinic last Friday, 13 days after breaking my left hip on holiday in Malta. From start to finish all the staff were charming, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. I had my staples removed very gently, the xray explained and my partner made welcome and shown the xray. Futurev appointments have been arranged for me. My faith in the NHS has been restored, and I am so grateful to have this wonderful local hospital near my home. Thank you.

Review titled Good treatment
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Gary Lyons - Posted on 24 February 2024
I would just like to say thank you to the excellent nurses and surgeons who fixed my hernia last night (23 February). I am a staunch believer that you guys truly deserve all the credit you get and should be on more pay and that the government should step up and pay higher salaries for NHS workers because you guys save lives

Review titled Hysteroscopy
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Donna Campbell - Posted on 19 January 2024
I was admitted to Day Surgery for a hysteroscopy under General Anaesthetic and I can honestly say I have never been so frightened but the way I was looked after by the staff was amazing this is truly a very special hospital and I'm eternally grateful for their professionalism and kindness.

Review titled Can't believe How Poor Communication is !!
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Frank Rios - Posted on 15 November 2023
Was referred by my local GP, said someone would be in contact . Three months later still no contact , made a phone call and was told someone would make contact but still no contact. Would be nice if a date was set even if it was next year. Sorry I've had to this but it will be interesting to see if anyone cares.

Review titled Fantastic Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Michael Bean - Posted on 19 November 2023
Fantastic Hospital, I Had an operation in day surgery where I received the most caring treatment imaginable from all staff. I was checked on by nurses making sure I was okay at all times and the discharge nurse explained everything to me in great detail. The whole experience could not have been better from reception to discharge. I would like to thank everyone at this Fantastic Hospital
