  1. Review titled |Wow couldn't have had better care

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Gillian - Posted on 14 May 2024

    Mum aged 92 fell out of bed and had many injuries. Every member of staff on Accident and Emergency were superb, she was treated with great care, dignity and she felt safe. She was transferred to ward 33 (orthopedic trauma) and had a hip operation the day after. Sadly she got post operative pneumonia which we had been told may be the case and 48hrs later was placed on end of life care. We were offered 2 'put up beds' to be with her in a side room and spent 4 days and nights there. Every single member of staff without exception were kind, caring and professional, not only with Mum but the rest of the family. We were fed and watered throughout our stay. It made a traumatic experience less so and at the end staff made sure Mum was pain free, warm and safe. Well done all, you are under so much pressure and are run off your feet but you do an amazing job. I wanted to name each and every one of you but I believe my review won't pass Artificial Intelligence screening if I do. You know who you are. You are all fab. Gillian

  2. Review titled Paediatric A/E

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 16 May 2024

    Have unfortunately had to use the paediatric A/E at BDGH twice now in the last couple of months, due to injuries obtained at school. Both times, the nurses, radiologists, and nurse practitioners and orthopaedic surgeons were extremely efficient, kind, prompt and delivered timely care and diagnosis. I haven't got a bad word to say. Faultless service. So grateful for the NHS. Barnsley paediatrics are getting this right! Well done!

  8. Review titled System failure?

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by James Hewitson - Posted on 15 April 2024

    After referral from my optician, I was invited to the department surprisingly quickly for a timed anppointment and was seen for vision test and pressures test very quickly. But then I had to wait over two hours before being seen by a doctor. The department was very busy and I expected to be patient but it was only when I suggested to a member of staff that I thought I’d been forgotten that I was seen immediately by a doctor, when the examination and treatment was excellent. I wonder if there was a system failure that resulted in my having to wait so long for this treatment after arriving for a specifically timed appointment? It seems more a problem than just running late.

    Referred by GP to en&t because of concern over potential throat tumour. Appointment was offered within a week and consultant was kind, caring and very informative. Outcome was much less serious than feared.

    My daughter cut her head open and we wasn’t even there half an hour she was seen straight away and they glued it and was sent on our way. The staff were so polite and made my daughter feel so comfortable!
