    I just wanted to share my thoughts around the Nursing Staff. They could not have been more accommodating on the day of my visit, frequently checking whether I needed anything and keeping me updated. A credit to their craft.

  3. Review titled Amazing Minor injuries unit

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Georgina smith - Posted on 05 September 2023

    Couldn’t have been more impressed with the service I received at the Minor Injuries unit having got a small amount of wood stuck in my eye . The receptionist was lovely . Short wait to see an excellent advanced nurse practitioner whom quickly managed my eye problem and left with some eye ointment in less than 30mins of arrival. An absolute credit to the NHS !

  4. Review titled Minor Injuries - First class service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Justine - Posted on 10 September 2023

    I attended after being bitten by a dog - I was seen by one of the ANP's who was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Despite the unit being very busy, I was seen quickly and efficiently. In a rural area this first class service

  5. Review titled Simply a cut to my head after slipped on a tiled floor

    Rated 2 stars out of 5

    by Julie Wilkinson - Posted on 27 August 2023

    A friend drove me to Alnwick Injuries unit tonight at 8 20 pm...we both asked. For help, my head was bleeding from a small wound, all a need was butterfly sitichs, I had slipped on a tiled floor and hit something...but we were refused help, it was nothing big, but I did need help, and the refused to help....quite honestly, the staff there are a law un to their self and wanted me to travel 34 mile to another hospital...what a waste a time they are , and this is a waste a tax payers money, it would of taken her 30 mins at most to see to me and I quite frankly felt abused from her and I say her, because she had her bag on shoulder and she was done. Hard shift drinking coffee and having chocolate biscuits,,,, what's the point of the unit

  6. Review titled Very good experience

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Susan - Posted on 29 July 2023

    I attended the walkin clinic today and was greeted by a very cheerful and empathetic nurse, who put me at ease immediately. She listened carefully to my symptoms and gave me medication to help solve the problem l was suffering from. I have to say this has been one of the best visits l have experienced within the NHS.

  7. Review titled Great Practice, care and consideration.

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Josephine Curtis - Posted on 27 June 2023

    I visited Alnwick hospital for a colonoscopy. Every single member of the team were fantastic. They explained everything in professional detail with care and consideration. I have never experienced care like this in the NHS in my lifetime. My husband, who was awaiting me had a similar experience with the porters and cleaning staff who assisted and reassured him as we were in the hospital at 8am, before reception was on duty. After all this, we visited the canteen where the exceptional care and support continued. We purchased meals and the quality of the food was second to none; 5*. To repeat, neither my husband nor I had ever received such good treatment, care and attention in the NHS (not to say anything negative about the NHS), it was just that the hospital was so outstanding. Thank you once again.

  8. Review titled Outstanding care!

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Sandra English - Posted on 16 April 2023

    My visit to the minor injuries unit of the Infirmary is a pleasure to recount! I dropped in with a problem I was experiencing with my lower eyelid. The staff member at the reception desk was pleasant and very welcoming. My wait to be seen was just under one hour, which I found to be amazing in these days of a stretched health service. The nurse who attended to me was quite exceptional, from her caring, friendly manner, through to her examining of my eye and removal of an ingrowing eyelash, which was the cause of my eye irritation. She explained everything to me regarding the antibiotic cream I was prescribed, and also how to follow up if things didn’t improve inside of a few days. This is truly our wonderful NHS at its best, and I felt privileged today to be a part of their caring, efficient service. Thank you.
