Review titled Excellent compassionate care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Moyra Powell - Posted on 07 May 2025
I visited the Diabetic Retinal Eye screening today with my husband who has advanced Alzheimer’s. I have to thank the staff for their kind compassionate and patient manor with my husband and myself. They’re tried so hard to enable him to have his test from rearranging the room to accommodate his chair to patience when trying to get him to cooperate with the test with good success. Not only during the process but afterwards. He was offered something to eat whilst we had a long wait for patient transport and nothing was too much for them. My only complaint is a systemic one. My husband has had his retinal screening done for many years and every year with the Purpose of monitoring any changes however I am very disappointed that the team had no access nor would have, to his previous test results / photographs done by mid Yorkshire hospital trust and so nothing to compare with. Surley this is an important record that should be shared within the nhs system. Please give my thanks to the staff today My husbands appointment time 11.40.

Review titled Excellent care from start to finish
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lisa G - Posted on 07 April 2025
I attended Barnsley Hospital for a gynaecology surgical procedure yesterday carried out on day surgery unit. The standard of care I received from walking through the door to walking out was exemplary. The communication throughout with what was happening at every stage was fabulous, from the anaesthetic team, day surgery team and Gynae ward staff. I was booked an overnight stay on this ward but was well enough to be discharged later the same day - medications to take home were ready and explained fully by the staff in the ward before I left. As a healthcare professional myself, I’m the first one to admit that I don’t make a good patient!! But credit where it is due, the staff were just amazing. Special thanks to the anaesthetic team for putting me at ease from the get go to the Gynae ward staff who facilitated my speedy recovery and discharge. First class service!!

Review titled Treatment and care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Dennis Brent - Posted on 18 March 2025
I was an inpatient for a few days and the care and treatment I was given was second to none. All the staff from the doctors, nurses to the tea ladies all were cheerful and helpful and made it a nice atmosphere on the ward and a nice place to recover.

Review titled Fantastic staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Debbie P - Posted on 11 March 2025
I would like to compliment the staff at the A&E department on the care and understanding they showed when my husband was brought in having a seizure. Most importantly, they listened when I explained how he prefers to be treated and did their very best to respect his wishes. Please pass on our thanks to the wonderful staff.

Review titled Compassion Amid the Challenges
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Richard - Posted on 27 March 2025
I attended A&E on the 26th of March following a call to 111 and a discussion with iHeart. While the four-hour wait was understandably frustrating, I recognise that this is a national issue—and I wanted to take a moment to thank all the staff for their care and dedication. During my time in the waiting room, I witnessed staff managing some very challenging situations with professionalism and compassion. Everyone I encountered was kind, calm, and clearly working incredibly hard under pressure. From the friendly lady who took my bloods, to those monitoring blood pressure, and the doctor who carried out a thorough examination—I truly felt I was in capable hands. It’s disheartening how quickly some people forget, and how sadly it often takes a crisis like a pandemic to remind us just how fortunate we are to have access to a health service that is free at the point of need. To the team working that evening, and to every NHS staff member who works through the nights and days to keep us safe and well—thank you. Even when frustrations are voiced and expectations are high, please know that what you do matters. You make a real difference.

Review titled Amazing caring staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lucy Wells - Posted on 27 February 2025
Having come in through A and E from the start the support from all staff was brilliant. Each doctor, nurse, health care assistant explained everything to me in easy to understand ways. The porters were efficient and friendly. I ended up on short stay ward and all the team here were brilliant. Best ward I've stayed on (I've experienced a variety of hospitals over the years). The staff would do anything they could to help, were diligent at their job, kind, caring and happy to have banter with patients too. The people supporting with meals and drinks were also a great part of the team and the food was very tasty especially the hot puddings. Despite being scared and poorly I felt in safe hands with everyone on the ward. Big thanks to you all

Review titled Amazing Staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Andrea Geraghty - Posted on 11 February 2025
Took my Aunty to a&e for a suspected fracture to her wrist. Although we were waiting a very long time (something I expected and did not mind) the service and care we received was exceptional. From the porter that took us for a ct scan, to the orthopaedic practitioner that put her cast on, to the nurses who dealt with my 79 year old Aunty with care and respect to lastly the doctor who covered all bases in regards to her fall, I absolutely could not fault you. Thank you, you were all amazing.

Review titled Happy Hospital
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Brian Bailey - Posted on 09 January 2025
I visited today and was again struck by how helpful, pleasant and generally happy everyone was. From the volunteer who showed me to the door of the required department to the staff who carried out the procedure, who were all introduced to me, every single person was amazing. This is not unusual. On all the occasions I've been to the hospital it's been the same. All of us who go as patients often go to a hospital with trepidation and dread. Barnsley manage to lift people's spirits and make us feel better just by there attitude and general demeanor. I would like to thank each and every volunteer, nurse, doctor, technician, cleaner and any who I've missed. Thank you all and carry on doing what you do very well.
