Review titled Urgent care lived up to its name
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Richard Woodroofe - Posted on 09 October 2023
My wife took me to the Hospital as I became unbalanced and uncoordinated while we were out walking. The Urgent care team assessed me quickly and decided that I needed to go to Royal United Hospital immediately. They arranged and briefed the para medics who transferred me. Without the speedy investigation and decision of the Urgent care team the outcome could have been far worse for me. Thank you

The receptionist was cheerful and helpful but the nurse surly and dismissive of an inner ear infection which caused an additional 2days of pain and discomfort. Antibiotics then given by GP

Review titled Great Physiotherapists
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Carolyn Laurenson - Posted on 03 July 2023
Couldn’t make it to my appointment today and anxious not to leave the physio waiting and wasting her time I attempt to phone ( @ 9.0 am) the dept. After going round in circles I discover the Physiotherapists don’t receive phone calls, 10 mins before my appointment I’m given the number at Bridgewater and get through to a sympathetic receptionist who will let my physio know! One hears all the time of patients who don’t turn up and how much it costs the NHS but then you make it well nigh impossible to actually let the appropriate dept. know. Unfortunately I woke up being sick so didn’t have a decent time to get in touch, in different circumstances my husband would have driven to Frome hospital to inform them but that was not possible. I noted at the end of each number was a message asking callers to ‘be kind etc’ to whoever answers one’s call - I felt no unkindness just a slightly hysterical urge to laugh and weep at the same time. I’m 80 so remember fondly of the time when one simply made one phone call to a receptionist who would more often than not tell one off for cancelling at the last minute. I’m okay with the internet but so many older people aren’t and must end up so utterly confused and miserable and in some cases inadequate. Fabulous hard working staff all round …. Admin…must do better you owe it to both patients and staff.

Review titled This is not an Urgent Care Centre

Despite what it says on the website this is not an Urgent Care Centre, it is a Minor Injuries Unit. We wasted time visiting this site when I needed treatment.

Review titled Excellent level of care and compassion
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mrs Sharon Hollis - Posted on 28 May 2023
After falling ill on holiday whilst staying at Centerparcs I went to Frome Community urgent care for some much needed help. The service I received was above and beyond. The receptionist was polite and helpful and I was seen very quickly by such a kind,caring and compassionate nurse who checked me over and didn't treat me like a number but like a human being who was feeling very sorry for herself! I want to take this time to say a massive thank you and for making my stay at centerparcs a lot less painful! The service here was 100%. Thank you so much once again!

Review titled Welcomed with a smile
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jill Taylor - Posted on 21 May 2023
This felt like a happy place to be. There was a wonderful painting on the wall done be school children. The receptionist greeted me with a smile she booked me in and I had made her laugh. The nurse who checked me over was lovely made me feel at ease. I saw the doctor she gave me a good check prescribed some medication and reassured me. On leaving I thanked them and said how nice they had all been. Saying thank you and having good manners costs you nothing. Thank you again I wish I could get such great service everywhere I went.

Review titled Contact
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 April 2023
I’m sure the service is great but trying to contact to cancel an appointment( having woken up ill) a nightmare. Took almost an hour so meant the practitioner will have only known 15 mins prior to my appointment. The hospital is terrific have always had excellent care and am only doing this to point out how it could leave people just not turning up as I almost gave up.

Review titled Lovely, kind and understanding staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 24 April 2023
It’s the second time I’ve had to take one of my children to minor injuries and on both occasions from the receptionist that check us in to the nurse/doctor we saw they have been nothing but helpful and kind. Even got an apology for the time we had to wait (didn’t mind waiting I understand the strain hospitals are all under). Both times I think the help and support my child has been given for a potential brake was more than they would have had at any other hospital. Almost over cautious which has been amazing. It’s clean, tidy and calm there. Another huge bonus was free parking which is unheard of at hospitals normally. Massive thanks to the kind doctor we saw today. Thank you A

Dear A Thank you so much for taking the time to write your kind feedback, it really means a lot to the team to know they are appreciated and how much the service is valued in the community. If I can offer a small correction the unit has no doctors so I think you would have seen one of our Emergency Nurse Practitioners.I will definitely make sure that the staff at Frome MIU see this post. Thank you again for taking the time to post and I hope your child is fully recovered. Kind Regards Aly Rees Managerial Lead East Somerset Community Urgent Care

Review titled High standard of care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 March 2023
I was transferred to Frome Community Hospital from Musgrove Park in January to continue a twice daily I V antibiotic. As a result of a meeting with my consultant, instruction was given to cease the treatment in that form and I was able to go home. During my stay I have been favourably impressed by the high standard of care and dedication of the staff in all categories despite the fact that I was occupying a room solely for the early morning and early evening treatments Colon Guy
