Review titled Disappointed
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 April 2023
Having waited several hours to see a doctor we eventually asked reception if they knew how much longer we would have to wait. We were told we had to speak to the nurse in charge but were not told where the nurse in charge was. After waiting another half an hour looking for someone who looked like a nurse in charge I asked reception again how long it would be to be seen. I was again told to speak to the nurse in charge who it turns out was based down a corridor behind a door with a bell you had to press. After finally getting someone to answer the bell I was told my name had been called earlier. We had been in the waiting room the whole time and at no point did we hear my name called. I said I wanted to discharge myself and was told the doctor will see you shortly. We sat another hour and still I wasn’t called so I yet again had to go back down the corridor and wait for someone to open the door so that I could discharge myself. Then I was told the doctor had clicked on my name so would I go back to the waiting room. Again I sat for another half an hour and the person I was with stopped a passing nurse who spoke to the doctor on our behalf. When I was eventually seen the doctor said three different people had called my name but as either myself or the person I was with were in the waiting room at all times this was not the case. Unless these three people whispered my name. There should be a screen in the waiting room showing wait times and more organisation is needed among staff. The nurse in charge should be based where people can see them or a sign put up so people know where to go.I found it a very unsatisfactory experience.

Review titled Excellent care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lorraine - Posted on 31 May 2023
I was admitted unconscious blue light ambulance also efficient, but my family described the care as excellent and the staff kind and competent. It was a challenging time for my family but they were kept informed of my care.

Review titled Physiotherapy 2 flights of stairs no lift
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 March 2023
Went for physio on crutches , signage all incorrect no lift been broken for 3 months had to climb 3 flights of stairs on double crutches , felt I was in a third world hospital , receptionist area empty went further on and spoke to 4 members of staff saying they were having lunch someone would be back soon , left feeling I was interfering with their conversation on what was on tv last evening , the only saving grace was the physiotherapist seemed to know what she was doing , a very sad picture for Worcester hospital where it seems patient s don’t matter

Review titled Treatment denied once again
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by William Hall - Posted on 22 March 2023
Why hold onto a patient? if you cannot treat that patient then refer that patient on to someone that can - if you cannot do the treatment required that just say 'I cannot do this persons treatment' how hard is that? In my case you keep cancelling appointments with no end date in sight, I was referred to you in January 2023 and you have cancelled 2 appointments. I am told that I then go to the back of the queue for the following month and so on. What about duty of Candor and duty of care? Don't hold onto me just because you don't want to treat me, if not this why the cancellations? why are no reasons given in writing? You may or may not share frustrations over short staff issues but you do not share my suffering so in effect there is no effect to your hospitals doctors only to the patient on the receiving end of such poor inadequate treatment in this case me. You could easily access my list of injuries as defined by uk doctors many years ago. Does a patient really have to be subjected to such terrible treatment as in my case? 35 years on a waiting list to get on the real waiting list!!!! I have recently discovered that a patient is not on a waiting list until a consultant says that patient should go on a waiting list. And then in my case I just wait for 35 years - if you cannot do the surgery required just say so and by the way I do not want surgery to create major new deformities sorry - abroad the doctors really care here in the uk they do not at least that is my bitter and painful 35 + plus experience in the uk every single day

Having waited over a year for this appointment I was so pleased to have received such great care and attention from the Rheumatology Team. I was see promptly and seamlessly between assessments, and all the staff were friendly, helpful and caring. Many thanks, Lisa :)

Review titled Excellent care.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Margaret Chieng - Posted on 10 January 2023
I had to attend A&E on a busy Friday night. I had a long wait due to the department being very busy but was treated with care & consideration throughout each procedure. When I was called to see the doctor I was the last patient of her shift. She must have been very tired & ready to go home to bed. She took the time to reassure me, treated me with patience & kindness & explained everything to me. Going above & beyond. A huge thank you.

Review titled Great help
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Kate Colvin - Posted on 21 October 2022
Just want to say how invaluable the rheumatology help line is. I get such speedy and helpful advice. Yesterday I raised a question regarding dental treatment and the nurse rang back immediately thus reassuring my dentist and allowing my treatment to continue. Thank you for this and the other times I have received reassurance and advice

Review titled Kind and reassuring
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by M McLaverty - Posted on 17 October 2022
I had a Nuclear Medicine Renogram with diuretic today 17/10/22 at 10.30 am and must congratulate the 3 staff who were involved. They were very professional but more than that they kept me calm and were very kind. Sadly I don’t have their names but I’m sure you will be able to find out. Made the experience much more pleasant especially knowing I was very anxious. Well done!

Review titled Faultless Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Emily Sweeney - Posted on 28 October 2022
My son was taken to A&E this morning, I can not fault any level of his care. From the operator, to the ambulance crew and the wonderful doctors and nurses in the Kids A and E. Thank you to you all. Although my son was not a serious case (in the end) you treated him and me so well, our thanks and respect.
