Review titled Exemplary care and kindness from Victoria in A&E
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by William Winstanley - Posted on 17 March 2024
The gentle care and kindness I experienced today from a doctor I'm prevented from naming, and her colleagues in A&E, I shall never forget. The diagnosis was swift and the provision of walking aids was perfect William Winstanley

Review titled Fantastic care and follow on
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Skeels - Posted on 25 March 2024
When I dialled 999 due to having an severe allergic reaction to an antibiotic I was scared and frightened. The paramedics took me into Salford Royal A&E and every member of staff I came across was friendly, patient and caring. I spent 7 hours in Majors 2 and they wee super busy but very well organised. I received the help I needed plus a referral for surgery the next day. They were thorough and kept me calm. Thanks so much.

Review titled Amazing staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5

We had to attend the Panda unit for our 16 month old daughter. We were seen very quickly and the staff were so kind and very informative. The communication with us was fantastic and we felt so reassured. Absolutely great unit with lovely staff.

Review titled Can’t get through
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Mrs Debbie Barker - Posted on 15 March 2024
I used to ring my specialists secretary, who was amazing, but unfortunately she is on long term sick. The phone isn’t picked up at the switchboard, I just get cut off. I really need to speak to a spinal secretary about my appointment but can’t get through to one. The patient pass only seems to deal with new referrals.

Review titled Blue badge discrimination
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 March 2024
Attended for an appointment having a registered blue badge and barrier would not open. Pressed help to be told it would need to be re-registered as database was different. Parked and slowly walked a long distance to the parking office and told it couldn't be registered as only those attending regularly could register a blue badge. My ticket was validated for my free parking. I must have walked over a mile yesterday back and forwards then to my appointment elsewhere on the site. I am disabled and have limited mobility. Why is it that I am told different things and why are disabled people discriminated against based on how often they attend?. This is a disgraceful policy forcing those with limited mobility to walk to and fro because blue badge spaces are abused by those who don't need them so they can't get parked near their appointment. It shouldn't matter how often people attend if they have a blue badge it is registered as before.

Review titled Surgery Admission Lounge and Theatre
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Skeels - Posted on 25 March 2024
Arrived at 7.30am over the weekend at the direction of AandE. The nurses were all so welcoming and said I should be in surgical triage unit but said I could stay on there as operation would be quicker and they are nurse led. They sorted everything out with triage unit and I was looked after so well by all the nurses on Surgical admissions lounge. The theatre staff came up to see me several times and were all amazing, I can't thank them enough. It was so spotlessly clean and all staff took time to explain what was happening all the way from the ward to the theatre. Would highly recommend this ward at Salford Royal Hospital.

Review titled Different responses from different people?
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 01 February 2024
I was referred urgently to dermatology by my GP and received a letter to say if there was no communication by a certain date then to call the hospital on the number provided. Date comes, I call the number. Person on the phone takes my details and starts talking about a previous referral from last year? I try to say that a new, more recent referral was made and then I just hear silence for 2 minutes so I call back later on. Another person picks up the phone and takes my details and says I need to contact my GP practice. I call my GP and they say they've had no communication from the hospital and to phone back and say this. I now call for the third time! I finally get through to a lovely gentleman who put me on hold and tries to figure out the situation (I now know the silence on the initial call was because I was on hold but the intial person never told me of this). I was told the consultants are yet to triage my referral as they are very busy and to call back in 2-3 weeks if I haven't received any communication from the hospital. This was a satisfactory answer, ashame it took several phone calls and an entire morning of waiting in caller queues for this to be cleared up. The intial letter I received following the urgent referral should be more accurate in terms of when I should expect to receive an update on my referral. Expecting to wait 1 week and then being told afterwards it may be upto 4 weeks in total is very annoying.
