I would specifically like to thank the Breast Specialist Nurse for her professional, caring and supportive help to me yesterday. She was a credit to the NHS.

Review titled NHS may be struggling but…
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Liz Swift - Posted on 02 April 2024
My 101 year old mother spent about 7.5 hours in the A & E department after causing concern with her doctor. I was made welcome in the ambulance and on arrival and my mother treated with respect and sensitivity The NHS is truly struggling but do not blame the staff. From paramedic to porter from doctor to drinks trolley lady you were wonderful. My mother was treated with patience, kindness and professionalism. The department was very busy but the staff were patient and courteous to everyone. Assessing and treating patients in corridors is not ideal but these fantastic people made it work. You’ve always had my respect but the hands on staff have to be seen to be believed. Thank you Countess of Chester A & E for treating an elderly lady with dignity and giving a frightened lady the time. She returned happily to her care home and I was left feeling humbled by these overworked, underpaid amazing people.

Review titled A positive experience
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Robert - Posted on 11 April 2024
Following a very good appointment at the respiratory dept where we were greeted by all staff positively and professionally. The Dr was very professional and diligent in his consultation and looked not just at the main problem but looked at the bigger picture holistically . He had red flagged a ct scan , despite concern and anxiety I was extremely grateful as within days I was referred to endoscopy suite where again I received positive treatment from state to finish . Thanks to this positive treatment I was reassured nothing sinister was present . We hear so much negativity about the NHS so thought I would write to give everyone some positive feed back . Thanks to all concerned . Keep it up and thanks it really does make a difference to be listened and cared for with compassion and empathy .

Review titled Made a bad day a little easier
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Kirsty C - Posted on 22 April 2024
When your child has an accident in school it's just the worst feeling and then coupled with let's go sit in A&E for six hours just adds to the pain of seeing your child hurt. Well I attended with my son 22.04 and was in and out it 40 minutes! We first attended A&E seen in 10 mins and sent through to minor injuries where someone was already waiting for us to have my son's chin cleaned and glued very quickly and helped my son because super brave. Then because we where so quick my lift wasn't available yet so I was let back inside to sit in as the cold wind was nipping my son's fresh injury. Honestly turned a terrible day alot better. Thank you NHS so many under valued staff. Thank you to everyone that helped us today. You are all amazing.

Review titled Wonderful staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mrs Eileen Clark - Posted on 12 March 2024
Arrived at g11 for ctc scan, welcoming staff everything explained clearly. I was nervous of the procedure but totally re-assured by the kindness of the nurses and ancilliary staff. The procedure was slightly uncomfortably, this I expected the after care was amazing. I am home and must thank all the staff on duty today. The nhs does not always get good reviews, my experience today was beyond excellent. Please publish this review and a give the staff a big thank you from me. Eileen

Review titled Amazing midwives and obstetric doctors
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Chloe Pugh - Posted on 23 March 2024
I have just left the labour ward after being checked for reduced fetal movements. Luckily all was fine. From ringing triage to being assessed by all 3 midwives I dealt with and the doctor who reviewed me I couldn’t say thank you enough. I wasn’t made to feel silly for coming in, in fact I felt the opposite, and I left feeling very reassured. I spent a couple of hours on the monitor and the amazing doctor performed a scan for me for extra reassurance In-between the times she was in emergency theatre. I was fully informed of the plan with my care and next steps throughout my time on the ward. Myself and my partner were very well looked after and it made a scary experience a positive one. I was reassured that if I felt worried again to call straight back in, even if it is the same day. All health care professionals I dealt with went out of their way to ensure me and my baby got the best care possible and were dealt with in a compassionate manner, even during a busy time where other emergency surgeries were taking place, and I can’t stress how much of a positive experience this was. Thank you so much.
