Review titled Good hospital
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Chris Walker - Posted on 27 January 2025
I was in pain since 2023 now after surgery in January 16th 2025 at Woodthorpe Hospital Nottingham I am pain free after my Herina operation. Now I am on the recovery path for 6 weeks no more heavy lifting. The hospital is clean and the operation went smothly. All the staff are very friendly and efficient and they all address you as "Sir". The whole operation took place from 12 o'clock midday and I was travelling home again at 7.30 pm. Would recommend it if you need herina surgery .

Review titled Lovely experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 February 2025
I recently had a short stay at the Woodthorpe Hospital, Sherwood Nottm. This was a positive experience. The staff were very friendly & attentive, from the reception desk to the nurses and doctors. My doctor, took the time to thoroughly explain my diagnosis and treatment options, which made me feel well informed and at ease.

Review titled Great hospital
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by David Harper - Posted on 07 January 2025
I had knee surgery at the Ramsey Health,Woodthorpe Hospital, Nottingham on 5.01.2025. The treatment I received from the surgeon and his team was to the highest standard. I would like to thank the nurse who cared for me. The anaesthetist team and staff in the recovery department and the surgeon. All were extremely professional and informative and made my brief stay at the hospital a pleasant experience. I would also like to thank the pre op team and reception team for their caring and professionalism. The hospital is pristinely clean the facilities are second to none. I had a beautiful room. I was given all the information relating to my recovery at home and received a reassuring telephone call from a nurse the day after my procedure. What a great hospital amazing staff. Thanks to you all.

Review titled Terrible aftercare
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 October 2024
I had a knee replacement on 15/09/2024 following surgery I was left in urine bed sheets for several hours with the excuse they were short staffed. I pressed my buzzer as needed to go to the toilet no one came. I had to wet myself very degrading and my splint sheets and bandages were wet through. There were signs everywhere to press the buzzer to get out of bed I did this and got told off for not getting out of bed. I was in so much pain I was screaming still no one came. I envelope tried to telephone the ward several times from my mobile no answer. I was eventually prescribed additional pain relief from the doctor but the nurse wouldn’t give it to me even though it was on my record signed by the doctor. Then came the physio who gave me a booklet went through it once, walked me in and down the ward and up and down the stairs once and told me I was fit to go home (they appeared too busy getting ready for the next days operations). Finally I got my follow up appointment which should be after 6 weeks to tell me I’m fit to drive and work etc I received a letter with a telephone consultation for 10th January 2025. To be honest if you get a chance to have your surgery done somewhere else I would take the opportunity. There was a definite lack of empathy and the care was horrendous I felt like I was at a meat market would not recommend this hospital.

Review titled Nobody answers the phone
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by David - Posted on 23 September 2024
It is almost impossible to contact the hospital by phone. Again today,I kept calling and being put on hold. The call drops out after 12 minutes. It is not a one off! I would advise try calling the hospital before you chose this hospital for any procedure

Review titled Fabulous apart from the telephone system
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Paul - Posted on 07 October 2024
I recently had a total knee replacement at Woodthorpe and couldn't fault any of the treatment I received whilst there but trying to get through to Woodthorpe by telephone is more painful than the actual operation. For such a professional organization the telephone system is woefully inadequate and very patient unfriendly.

Review titled Superb hospital to receive treatment at
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 August 2024
Every member of nursing/operating theatre teams I met & others, including the young lady who took my order for an after-operation sandwich & the lady who wheeled me down to the car on discharge; the Consultant who performed my surgery, the anaesthetist & the physiotherapist were wonderful. Everyone ensured I was put at ease; reassured about the surgery & they ensured my privacy when changing etc. was maintained. The whole experience was superb. I cannot thank the team enough. Wonderful hospital

Review titled Shambles
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 August 2024
Phone calls - sat on hold for nearly an hour to speak to reception, this was over several days and some days I gave up. If I pressed that I was paying for my treatment - straight through to speak to someone, then put on hold for 45 minutes before I got to speak to someone. Arrived for appointment- been cancelled with no notice to me. Second opinion at another hospital - switchboard actually answer and looks like I'll be getting my op shortly, still waiting for Woodthorpe after 4 years. I would not recommend
