Review titled Quick care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Michelle Parkin - Posted on 13 February 2023
After becoming poorly over the weekend due to a stray gallstone I was asked to attend a&e as soon as possible. I was seen within the hour as it was less busy than usual. I was asked to go to sdec department and taken to a bay. I was relieved as I was every nauseous and in pain. I can not fault the care I got and the fast response when I became very poorly being sick. The nurse came in and reassured me not to worry and within minutes I had and iv inserted into my arm to rehydrate administered anti sick pain relief and I think a bit morphine for the pain. I returned yesterday for another blood test which showed worsened but was able to pinpoint why it all happened. Been back in today 13/2/23 had an mri scan which is now clear and bloods stabilised so the stone seems to have left my body. The team both in a&e and sdec are an absolute amazing team. Amd ther turn around time for getting patients in and out was very good. The reassuring team in sdec last few days has kept me calm due to anxiety and one team member in general who has character to him. If it wasn’t for him Saturday and room day and the lady I saw yesterday able to explain the outcome of previous bloods I would not have had my mri so soon. Amd to be leaving with a clean bill of health and advised to rest up and use correct pain relief etc has helped me as scared massively. Thanks srh for the hard work in tough times

Review titled Our dated not a comfortable surrounding
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 February 2023
Visited Sunderland maternity dept with my daughter I was astonished how the maternity area was very old and maintenance work not carried out not a great surroundings. Blue tack all over walls and chipped paint However the nurses were lovely . It could be quite an emotional time especially for first time or younger mothers and for the waiting areas to be quite depressing can add to the stress. I know the budgeting for the NHS is very tight but I thought I had just walked into the old royalty hospital

Review titled Excellent staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jing - Posted on 13 February 2023
There was a delay but when asked the nursing staff found out immediately the problem. The doctor, was excellent and saved my partner having to translate as he could speak Mandarin with me. I felt wanted and he sorted out all my requests and issues and has arranged a scan just a week later to check my throat. The nurses and doctor were all very friendly and helpful and my partner was able to return to the waiting room so I could discuss matters in private with the Doctor and Nurse. Great service.

My experience of this service was poor, staff did not seem to care about issues presented and also gave advice by using the internet to search for treatment advice off google

Review titled Outstanding Quality of Care and attention.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mrs Dorinda Stokes - Posted on 24 February 2023
From entering the reception area of The Emergency Centre … to treatment on Ward 51 the quality of care and attentiveness has been outstanding.The whole team , from your household staff to all your medical members have given their time to reassure and inform us at every stage of my husband’s treatment. We have both been treat throughout our visit by highly courteous and competent staff. To give this level of attention and such detailed discussion has proved a great benefit to easing the stress and worry for both the patient and his family. Your attitude of sensitivity and respect for all under your care has been more than impressive. As old people we have experienced a lifetime of hospital care and from our experience this week…. this has been the best ever received.Thank you for getting us sorted and keep up the good work. It is truly appreciated.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. It is great to hear the level of care you received at Sunderland Royal Hospital. The respect and sensitivity shown, at a time that was probably very worrying and stressful for you. We will pass on your comments to the teams concerned.

Review titled Terrible
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 14 February 2023
Drove to urgent care after talking to 111 drove round all the car parks for over 30 mins trying to get a space but eventually give up and drove home, got a taxi to the hospital to sit in Urgent care which seems to be the least Urgent place I have ever been to, the receptionist I spoke to seemed like she couldn’t be bothered to talk to anyone, sat and waited in pain for 2.5 hours to be seen. Several people that came in behind me were called through by the nurse. Eventually seen by a doctor and sent to X-ray and back to see doctor, doctor was very nice and helpful . 3.5 hours in total.The lady in X-ray was very nice. The male toilet was disgusting in Urgent care

Went in for a Doppler scan and couldn't have been treated better. The staff kept me informed during the examination and were very amusing to converse with. Couldn't be happier with the service. Thank you

Review titled Disgusted with Pharmacy Department
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 January 2023
Feeling really poorly after having an allergic reaction to antibiotic I arrived at the Pharmacy at 1550hrs gave them my name informing them that the consultant had sent my perscription over at lunch time they asked me to take a seat. Various people came in after me got there percription filled and went home, I went back to the counter at least Six times to ask how long it would be they kept telling me I was next, it still never came out. After 40 minutes it eventully was given to me. They had lost it. This is an unacceptable time to a very ill person.

Review titled Completely satisfied
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by James Winter - Posted on 17 January 2023
Arrived about 45 minutes early at the fracture clinic and was seen within minutes, after an x-ray I was referred to another department where I was shown to a private room. After discussing my options with the nurse, she took me to have a plaster on my broken wrist. After about 15 minutes and a good bit of good humoured banter with the guy who dressed my arm I was told that I could go. I left the hospital 8 minutes after my scheduled appointment. Well done to all the staff and take care, stay safe.
