Review titled Brilliant staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 May 2023
We had to visit Urgent Care today because my partner cut his hand with a Stanley knife doing DIY. I would just like to say a massive thank you to the two fantastic ladies that sorted him out. They were absolutely brilliant, we laughed a lot, had a great chat and they looked after him wonderfully. Thank you

Review titled Empathy and efficiency
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Valerie - Posted on 03 July 2023
My husband has spinal stenosis. He is in great pain and his mobility is becoming more and more limited. Our experience of Orthopaedic Outpatients is of a caring team whose thoroughness and efficiency cannot be sufficiently commended. He has the option of an operation and the implications of this were most thoroughly explained. Kindness and consideration were shown at all stages of his contact with them. Thank you all very much.

Review titled Staff In No Rush
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 May 2023
Spent 5 hours in a+e waiting to be seen after being told by 111 to attend as soon as I could as I needed to be seen within 2 hours. Mentioned this to staff, as 111 had advised me to do, just got told that I would be seen when it was my turn. Any time I would try and speak to staff they would just interrupt and talk over me, not listening at all. Finally got my bloods taken and was told that it would be an hour and half to get my results back and see a doctor. 4 hours later, still waiting. Finally saw a doctor who proceeded to not listen to a word I said and told me that I was wrong in describing my symptoms. Then got told I was fine and they were discharging me as they needed the bed. Total time spent at hospital, 10 hours. Staff just wandering about, making jokes, having chats about nights out and drinking tea. There were old people and sick children all waiting and not one member of staff seemed to be in any rush. Worst thing of all, however, was the fact that the floor of the waiting room was littered with drink bottles, crisp packets and just generally dirty, didn’t see one cleaner during my entire visit. I won’t visit this hospital again

Review titled I felt I was rushed through my appointment as fast as possible
by statusqq78 - Posted on 16 May 2023
I felt I was rushed through my appointment as fast as possible. All the physio wanted to do was to throw a set of exercises at me and get me off their books asap, job done. By the time I left the building I'd already forgotten the exercises they had steamed through. No explanatory instruction sheets were offered, so I'm left to do exercises I can ill remember and in all likelihood will do incorrectly thus exacerbating rather than solving the problem. I feel I was discounted and am no further from understanding or addressing the pain I'm in. A frustrating experience that has left me rather depressed.
