Review titled Compassionate staff and fantastic facilities
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by L E - Posted on 18 July 2023
We were transferred here after there were not surgeons available in our local hospital to perform an emergency operation on our 2 year old. I was blown away by the attention to detail for kids’ from the ‘play team’ and different rooms children have to entertain themselves. Despite being stretched, the staff kept up informed the whole time and ensured they responded quickly to any concerns about our son’s condition. Amazing staff and who are worth their weight in gold…

Review titled Amazing staff but no one picks up the phone
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Henrietta Johns - Posted on 10 August 2023
I had a skin biopsy over 6 weeks ago, the plastic surgeon and nurses were amazing and I would highly recommend them. My problem is regarding my results. I waited 6 weeks to be contacted with my results, I didn't hear anything so I called the number I was given. I was told my a lovely receptionist that my results are in but she can't speak to me about them, and she gave me the landline and mobile number of a Skin Cancer Clinical Nurse and told me to call her to get my results. I have called both these numbers multiple times for the last 4/5 days and it has never once been answered. I've called every number I can find for the dermatology department, they all ring out and no one answers. I have left multiple voicemails just asking to get my results and no one calls me back. Again, everyone I have seen at the hospital was amazing, I would just love to talk to someone about the results.

Review titled Mis-diagnosis
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 June 2023
I arrived at A&E with clearly apparent symptoms of pain, inflammation, rash etc to the left eye. I was referred to the minor injuries unit. When seen after 4 1/2 hours I was told I had conjunctivitis and given some antibiotic drops. I was seen for less than 5 minutes. After 5 days of eye drops and feeling much worse I attended Moorfields eye hospital who immediately diagnosed ocular shingles, which if left untreated can cause serious damage to sight. I have now been given a proper anti-viral treatment plan and hope that the 5 days without proper medication has not done permanent damage. I will allow that this occurred during the junior doctor's strike which could perhaps explain the problems

Review titled Wait is too long
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 June 2023
In urgent care due to having a miscarriage, I was told that it would be 1 1/2 hours to 2 hour wait and I have been waiting nearly 3 with people who came in after me going in before me. No offer for pain medication. I am in absolute agony. You would think this sort of thing would be high level considering how traumatic and upsetting it is but no. A swollen lip is not more important than losing a baby.

Review titled Referral to the A&E Psychology Team
by horologiumbz86 - Posted on 22 May 2023
This turmoil came from my work. My ex-employer did not share important information with me, did not investigate the allegations against me but dismissed me. This put me in a challenging situation. My body reacted, and I couldn't sleep enough. One morning, I woke up with a headache and was hungry, but when I sipped a bit of water and coffee, however, I vomited straight away. I couldn't move. I could eat. My life was in turmoil. I felt hopeless. I called my GP, who referred me to the A&E psychology team. They supported me amazingly. I slept 7 hours that night. I'm still tired, but I'm getting to know what to do. Thank you

Review titled Great staff poor visiting policy
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 May 2023
I can’t fault the care I received the staff were a privilege to the NHS to have but the visiting policy and times of visitation on the ward are none human. They don’t take in consideration that in order for patients to heal they need emotional support from loved ones for as long as possible. Whoever designed ward 3d didn’t take any consideration for patient mental health and well being, the bay I stayed had no windows at all so you can’t tell if it’s day or night, sunny or raining. Imagine staying locked there for a week with very limited number of visitors 1 at a time and maximum 3 a day between 1-6 add this in one equation and all the lovely care provided by the silent heroes working here will just be thrown against the wall. I hope the trust would look at this visitation policy and find ways to improve the invironment for the patients.
