Review titled Fantastic care and support throughout!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Kat - Posted on 10 April 2024
Came to Barrow hospital after days of vomiting and diarrhea in a right state. From the minute I got into the ambulance, to the hospital, through A and E, moved to Acute Ward and eventually gynecology I was treat so well. Staff reassurance throughout, the best care, I felt like had an input in my care also and was heard. I can safely say it is the best hospital I have ever been too. I live out of area and literally felt right at home in a safe space to heal and get the care I needed. Supportive staff throughout, well done to all the staff for showing me how great our NHS is and how vitally important it is to support it. Thank You again to all staff involved.

Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Chantelle - Posted on 08 April 2024
I was seen in A&E by a lovely lady on reception and they got sent through to “same day emergency care” whom shouldn’t of taken any more patients as it was past 6pm but they seen me straight away and I was greeted by a lovely nurse G (as I’m not allowed to make) who was so lovely and then seen another very lovely lady who was a nurse practitioner who couldn’t of been more caring kind and lovely she checked everything thoroughly put my mind at ease made me a coffee and went out of her way after a probably very busy day. This type of kindness goes missed a lot and these two lovely lady’s deserve recognition for being so great and caring.

Review titled Amazing
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sharon Wood - Posted on 05 March 2024
Whilst there was a wait to be seen I can’t fault the care and attention I received. Triage was carried out. The doctor I saw was kind, considerate and put my mind at ease. My care should have been carried out at my GPs but they were too busy to accommodate me. Thankfully the amazing staff at A&E treated me with the upmost respect and their care was outstanding. Thank you.

Review titled Great service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Stu Wallace - Posted on 22 February 2024
I stupidly shut my finger in a car door and then patched it up and hoped it would heal, which it didn’t. From A&E through to Trauma and Orthapeadics the teams were excellent. The nurses and doctors were professional and very pleasant. I’m not a great one for injections but due to their professionalism I went through what for me would have been very difficult with ease. I’ve always had a great respect for this hospital and it’s staff but this experience has just reinforced this.

Review titled Orthopaedics Day Surgery Unit - wonderful care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Stephanie Parnell - Posted on 20 January 2024
I had quite a big hand surgery yesterday and I am very pleased to say that the standard of my care from all of the team on the ward and in theatre was wonderful. The ward and pre theatre room were both immaculate. I felt very well cared for and they even looked after my husband when the restaurant closed. Thank you. The care quality commission need to come and take another look!

Review titled Doctors great
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 January 2024
Triage great , they advised cannula for bloods and pain relief for one needle instead of several for anxious young lady . Next stop nurse who inserted cannula , took bloods , urine sample and supposedly gain pain relief . Doctors very thorough and kind. Couldn't test urine as they d lost it earlier though . Also when asked for different pain relief as not eased, he checked notes and hadn’t received any pain relief in cannula so nothing in the 2 hours there . Booked to come for scan on ovaries following day at 8am to attend Seac. Returned next day to find they weren’t expecting anything and little notes to explain problems. Booked to return at 11 to ultrasound. They scanned then advised mri necessary but only through go referral. Given prescription but told closed for 2 hours and to return for pain relief later . The 4 th visit in 24 hours. Doctor said why not completed while in that dept. Still no answers Poor communication .

Review titled Great treatment in Endoscopy unit
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rosemarie - Posted on 08 December 2023
Attended for a colonoscopy feeling very nervous. All contact with this department was positive. The reception staff, nursing staff and Endoscopist, when I visited, were at all times, helpful, encouraging and professional. The whole procedure was helped by the quality of interactions and care given. Thank you.

Review titled Ward 6
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 September 2023
Just to say how all the nurses on ward 6 are just Brilliant and are a credit to the furness general hospital but I must say that ambulance service transport services between millom and furness general hospital need a good looking at as this service for patients who need to get back to millom after hospital care is absolutely ridiculous and Is category listed for patients standing which is totally unacceptable millom people deserve more than this so come on morecambe's bay health trust get your fingers out and give millom the service it needs

Review titled Friendly efficient professional
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Bastiaan Veugelers - Posted on 11 August 2023
My son's foot injury on the last day of our family holiday was diagnosed quickly as a fracture and treated with moon boot. Copy of xrays were provided to take to my local fracture clinic. NHS at it's best, makes me proud again to be able to use it for family and work in it as a consultant
