Review titled Parking
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 October 2024
Staff are amazing & lovely here, but what lets the department down is parking. There are only really tight spaces and there’s never really anywhere where to park. I didn’t go through an entry barrier on the way in, so I didn't get a ticket, apparently you’re supposed to which I didn’t realise, so I rang the attendant at the barrier on the way out, who was so rude to me. Whoever he is when you ring the number at the exit barrier, needs to sort his attitude out. And he should remember he isn’t the one collecting the money for parking into his personal bank account, so I’m not sure why he took it so personally? He was saying to his mate in the background ‘let’s just fine them all then’ ! Then hung up. I can’t imagine speaking to a patient, especially a pregnant person who’s already anxious attending their appointment, the way he did. Foul

Review titled Parking Nightmare
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 October 2024
Parking is an absolute nightmare at Wythenshawe Hospital. There are very limited disabled spaces. It is a struggle to turn around in the disabled parking area outside Entrance 3 if there is a space or if there is not. There are cars parked in places they should not be parked, i.e. not proper disabled parking spaces, seems people think because they have a blue badge they can park where they want and not care about how it impacts others. What happens if these disrespectful visitors, get their car damaged because they are not parked correctly, how come no parking attendant is going around to ensure people are parking properly and not just abandoning cars. I eventually found a parking space in the main car park by Entrance 3, after driving around for 15 minutes, as someone disabled, I drive a bigger than average car, and need a decent space, so I can safely open my doors fully to get out, it’s near impossible to do this in the small car parking spaces this hospital has, I should carry a tin opener next time. And again, you have people parking in the car park by Entrance 3, just dumping their cars anywhere, not an official parking space, so blocking the roads. I’ll stick to taking a taxi, in the future and claim back by taxi costs from the nhs, something I am allowed to do as a disabled person who cannot use public transport, it is not worth the hassle trying to drive and park. On the plus side, I cannot fault the staff at this hospital, every time I am there, the staff are caring and considerate.

Review titled Brilliant service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Laura - Posted on 11 September 2024
My son recently had day surgery in the children’s day unit. From walking in the doors to leaving the service was excellent. Nothing was too much for the staff. They were all attentive and excellent in the care they gave. My son was at ease with the whole procedure which I’m sure was down to the calm and reassuring nature of all involved. A huge thank you to the hca nurses odp anaesthetist and surgeons who was there on the 10th September for looking after my son. Keep on doing a fabulous job.

It was very kind of you to take the time to write and compliment the team who were involved in your sons care, as it is always good to receive positive feedback which reflects the hard work and dedication of our staff.

Review titled Great service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Excellent service - Posted on 09 September 2024
I went to A&E this morning g expecting to sit for ages. However, I was seen very quickly through triage, then within 10 mins to have bloods and ECG, 10 more mins and spoke to a doctor who discussed my problem. Then sent to SDEC (Same Day Emergency Care) . After 1 hour the blood results showed I was ok it the doctor explained she wanted to do more checks which she did. Then saw a cardiologist who reassured me all was well. I couldn’t have asked for a quicker, more efficient and caring service. Thank you

Review titled Most Excellent!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rick Hulse - Posted on 28 August 2024
I called the NHS 111 service just after 6:00am and they advised me to attend an Emergency Department within the hour . I arrived at Wythenshawe Hospital's A&E Department at 7:00am, I was with a Triage Nurse before 7:15am and called in by the doctor by 8:40am. The doctor was a very pleasant young lady with a warm demeanor. She performed numerous tests and checks and I was very impressed with her thoroughness and her genuine caring attitude. She even took the time to consult with a specialist at Manchester Eye Hospital on the telephone to confirm her diagnosis, which proved to be spot-on. Knowing the terrible strain that A&E staff work under much of the time, and also being aware of general staff shortages within the NHS, I could not help but be filled with admiration for the quality and professionalism of the A&E staff at Wythenshawe Hospital. My experience of Wythenshawe Hospital over many years has been exemplary and this latest visit has shown me that, despite the efforts of self-serving politicians and greedy private healthcare companies to bring the NHS to its knees, our NHS staff are still providing a level of care and professionalism that we really must never lose!

Review titled Extremely professional
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Nicole - Posted on 25 July 2024
Spent quite a bit of time at ward f16 recently. I cannot fault it, the whole team there are amazing and extremely professional. Every nurse and doctor I saw were so professional and informative and genuinely kind- (asking if I needed anything, asking if I was ok etc) I had to ring up twice from home as was concerned with my symptoms I was having and got told to come in straight away both times for monitoring. I felt at ease knowing I was being listened to and honestly can’t thank them enough on the ward. I got seen to really quickly each time I came in. There was one nurse In particular who gave me an injection I needed and saw me again the week after who was the most amazing lady I’ve ever met! She was so kind and helped me through a very tough time! I feel grateful knowing that if anything like this was to happen again in the future I have an amazing unit close by.

Review titled Superb staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Christine C - Posted on 22 July 2024
My 90 year old mum, who has Alzheimer’s, was admitted to Wythenshawe for a few days over the weekend. She was treated initially in Accident & Emergency then on the Urology ward. The professionalism, expertise, treatment, kindness and care from all the staff who treated her was exceptional. Every effort was made to comfort and console her during procedures and nothing was too much trouble. Nobody wants to spend time in hospital but we feel blessed to have such a fantastic local hospital. Many thanks team Wythenshawe, you are truly 5 star.

Review titled Resembles a Circus
Rated 1 star out of 5
by M Smith - Posted on 12 June 2024
Dreadful experience and left here wondering if it was a hospital or a circus. Poor attitude of staff who have clearly developed a god complex since the nation applauded them. Nobody had a clue what was going on, very poor patient care and can only assume this to be some kind of training hospital where all the inadequate staff are placed. Do not visit here.
