  1. Review titled Excellent Endoscopy Department

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Michael Kelly - Posted on 27 March 2024

    I have attended the endoscopy on two occasions recently. I can’t thank and recommend the staff in the department enough. From the Receptionist, Nurses and through to the Endoscopist who carried out my Gastroscopy. With their friendly, professional and helpful attitude, they made the procedure a lot easier than I was expecting. Thank you to all of you.

  2. Review titled Top rate service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by MRS BARBARA DAINE - Posted on 14 February 2024

    I arrived early and was seen within 5 minutes. My consultant was friendly and knowledgeable, offering information when I asked. The only negative to my visit was waiting for my medication at the pharmacy. I was there for nearly an hour.

    Dear Barbara Sorry for the delay in responding to your email, this has been due to an issue with the NHS website. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about your recent attendance at Whiston hospital. We are pleased that you have had a positive experience in terms of waiting time and specific consultant. The team would like to forward your feedback to the consultant , but you haven't mentioned which Consultant that you visited. If you would like us to do this, please contact patientexperienceandedi@sthk.nhs.uk and let us know. In terms of of your pharmacy experience, we are sorry to hear that your wait did not meet expectations regarding the time that you waited for your medicine. We do endeavour to provide medications quickly however, for your safety, there are 5 different steps involved in dispensing every item of medication. There are approximately 400 prescriptions, many with multiple items contained, that are dispensed at each of our hospital sites every day for in-patients and out patients, sometimes this demand does result in a wait for medicines. I hope this helps you to better understand the processes involved. Thank you for your patience. Wishing you a good recovery.

  4. Review titled Excellent service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Paul Musker - Posted on 18 January 2024

    I recently attended the Ophthalmology clinic for investigation of Macular Degeneration. My appointment was for 9.00 am, and I left at 9.55 am. In this time I received a basic eye test, had drops put in my eyes, had an eye scan, a meeting with the Consultant, a further eye scan, a further meeting with the Consultant, and was then given a positive diagnosis. Excellent service, and the NHS at its best.

    Yesterday I was admitted as an outpatient for cataract surgery after waiting only 8 weeks. From start to finish I could not have been treated better. Staff friendly and reassuring, operation fascinating. Today I removed the eyepatch and the resulting vision is fantastic. Thank you NHS.

    We have visited the hospital several times over the past 4 months because I've had ENT appointments and an MRI scan. My wife and i are very impressed in every way with the standards here. The staff are warm and helpful. The hospital itself is very welcoming. We felt it was important that you know this. Many thanks.

  10. Review titled Great Service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 25 November 2023

    First time visiting St Helens Hospital for an appointment and the experience was amazing. All departments are clearly visible and colour-coded which makes it easier to find. Once where I needed to be there was an option to self-check-in which was easy to do. I didn't wait long before I was called in and the staff were very friendly and put my nerves at ease.
