Review titled Such hard working staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Pamela O Rourke/Tabberner - Posted on 23 January 2024
From triage to 3 nights in ED, my husband was very sick and was transferred to StH from Epsom . It was very busy as the transfer happed Fri night/sat morning. Despite the late hour and busy ER, every staff member was kind and caring. From the reception staff who followed up on the transfer (despite sadly getting a lot of hassle from the public re: waiting times) the triage team who allowed a surgery consult on their trolley even though they desperately needed it and then getting us a corner for the trolley. Major then looked after him for the next 3 days , thank You !

Review titled Fantastic Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Transferred from Epsom Hospital which was totally different service. Fantastic service. They were friendly and attentive. They offered me a wash. I didn’t feel embarrassed or scared. They really cared. They would come by and check I was ok. I had personal items given to me to wash my hands on, wipe my bum and tissues. I felt safe and knew if I pressed the bell they were straight there to help me. The nurses said hello at change over before talking about my case which made me feel safe as they acknowledged me as a person and not just a body. The Drs told me what was going on and why they were doing what they were to me. A follow on appointment has been made and will see them within a week. So no real wait. All my medications were on time and ensured that they were taken. The only thing I can think of that could be done better is that Drs write in the notes why they are giving a patient a certain medication or diagnoses. I saw 3 different Drs in 3 days and although I was given advice, the Dr had not written this in the notes so the next Dr didn’t know what I was talking about. I would have liked advice on what I should do when home.

Review titled Poor patient communication
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 December 2023
I have been on the waiting list for a dermatology appointment since May 2023. I was contacted in October 2023 to ask if I still required this appointment and if I wanted to remain on the waiting list. I responded to this with 'yes' and followed up with a phone call where I was assured I was on the waiting list but no clear timeframe. I then received a letter in December 2023 to say I had not attended my appointment. I was extremely disappointed by this as I received no communication from the hospital about this appointment, other than that I was still on the waiting list. The outpatient booking centre was unable to assist me with the matter, saying they can only apologise that I didn't receive a letter or text about the appointment, and I am now back where I started, and still on the waiting list. This is a hospital communications error, as I always receive all other letters/texts about other appointments. Still waiting to hear back from the dermatology department themselves re: resolving this issue.

Review titled Excellent Patient Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by STEPHEN CHARLES TOON - Posted on 11 November 2023
Attended St Helier on Friday 10th November for cataract extraction and visual improvement. The whole team, Admin, Nurses and Doctors were wonderful. They made an anxious elderly patient feel extremely welcome and comfortable. The surgery was uncomplicated and completely successful. Thank you to the consultant Doctor and first year trainee Doctor (who performed the extraction) for their bedside manner and expertise and special praise to the Nurse who accompanied me to the operating theatre and stayed with me throughout the surgery.

Review titled Caring staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Guy Sander - Posted on 17 November 2023
I have started a long haul of chemo for CLL. This is my fourth bout of cancer, I have previously had bowel stage 3 and resection; liver metastasis, liver resection and skin cancer. I have had a great deal of different chemo’s. I found the staff at the cancer ward in St Helier exceptional. Every single person who dealt with me was kind, caring and very professional. It has made me feel stronger about my next up and coming battle. I wish to thank the staff for all of their help.

Review titled Excellent care of my two year old
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Grace - Posted on 27 November 2023
I have visited the hospital a few times with my daughter who is nearly two, including a number of visits to Paediatric A&E for various reasons, plus an appointment at the allergy clinic. Each time I have been really impressed and felt that we’ve been in very safe hands. The care and compassion from all staff has been really great. It’s not easy when your little one is unwell and all the staff have always been so kind to me whilst taking care of my daughter’s needs. Thank you so very much.

I have no idea of the service as I can't get through on the phone. The online a+e phone number is wrong anyway.

Review titled Excellent practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by James Millar - Posted on 30 August 2023
I came in with a bad knee and the care and service I received was 10 out of 10 across the board. Absolutely faultless. I saw 5 or 6 different members of staff and they were all brilliant. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
