Review titled badly
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 May 2024
my husband got metal in his eye while working, his eye hurt a lot and watered. we waited two hours before the nurse asked some questions and told us to wait another 3 hours. this is normal??? there are cases when people can wait, but there are really cases when you just need to get help first... I'm shocked... I don't understand the system...

I attended for an orthopaedic appointment. I required an x Ray which was done by kind and cheerful staff.I was then very fortunate to see my consultant who was superb and explained everything. Everyone was kind and I left feeling I know what to expect .

Review titled Outstanding service in A&E
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Wendy Noble - Posted on 16 May 2024
Last Sunday, I came a cropper on a slippery, muddy bank and landed on my wrist. I thought it might be fractured. I arrived in A&E at around 5pm. By 5.30 I had been triaged, xrayed and given an appointment to come back at 8pm. Duly arrived and waited 30 minutes. Seen, diagnosed and treated. On Monday afternoon the discharge letter was on my GPs portal in East Yorkshire. Everyone from reception, triage, xray and practitioner were all brilliant. What an outstanding service from beginning to end from this incredibly hardworking team. As a retired NHS consultant I honestly can say I've never seen better. Oh, and they didnt know I was a doctor so it certainly wasn't mates rates!

Review titled Excellent care and support
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by SusanB - Posted on 19 June 2024
I was admitted by ambulance very early in the morning with a fractured hip. The team in A&E were caring, supportive and explained exactly what they were doing at each stage. The team were professional, whilst maintaining a friendly and approachable manner and continually checked how I was feeling and what level of pain I was experiencing so they could give appropriate medication. The professional attitude continued when I was admitted to Ward 30 the following day and after my hip surgery. Across the lovely, smiling nursing team, the cleaner of the room I was in, the doctors and the anaesthetists, the physios, everyone found the time to check how I felt, explain procedures and make my period in hospital as least traumatic as possible. Thank you for helping me when I needed it.
