Review titled Fantastic treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Dawn Hassen - Posted on 01 September 2023
I recently had emergency surgery for a strangulated hernia. The surgical team and all staff involved on C 36 were extremely caring kind professional and showed me dignity and respect. The hospital from what I saw was immaculate well lead and organised. I felt very safe and very well looked after. Thankyou all so much.

Waiting for prescription service to dispense melatonin for my little boy, caused us to miss our main appointment, even though we rang 1 hour before appointment as advised.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback regarding your experience in the hospital.. We are sorry to hear that you had problems getting the prescription in time for your little boy's appointment. This must have been frustrating, especially after ringing beforehand as you were advised.

Review titled Horrible service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 24 July 2023
I have been trying to get treatment for the past 2 days. I called to see if I could make an appointment, as I am unable to wait for up to 5 hours due to heavy bleeding. I was told that there’s nothing they can do as they cannot make appointments. As a tax payer we pay towards NHS services by force, we don’t get a choice. I’d much rather pay towards private healthcare insurance instead of the NHS because at least they take you seriously. When the NHS is ready to see me I would have probably already bled to death at home. When you speak to the NHS it’s like they’re doing you a favour. But we pay them through our taxes
