  3. Review titled Exceptional caring professionals

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Lyn Bowley - Posted on 19 January 2024

    Attending the Endoscopy unit for examination is always an anxious time for most people including myself. However all the staff starting with the pre assessment nurse to reception staff and all the professional medical staff were welcoming and friendly from the start. The procedures were made as comfortable as possible for me and everything explained so I was aware at all times what was happening to me. I cannot praise the team enough for my care and I felt totally safe from entering the department to leaving. A department in need of recognition in my opinion.

  4. Review titled Fantastic service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    Had appointment in Breast Clinic this morning. I was checked in by a very pleasant receptionist, saw a consultant and nurse for questions and examination, had mammograms and ultrasound before being given the all-clear, all within the hour. All staff were pleasant, caring and efficient and made the experience considerably less daunting. Thank you so much to all for your professionalism in a very stretched service.

  6. Review titled Great patient experience

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    I had undergone a general surgery procedure in January 2024, namely a key hole hernia repair. The whole process was well organised and honestly the staff have been wonderful throughout. I feel so very proud of our local hospital and lucky to have the good fortune of their care.

  8. Review titled System seems wrong

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Christine Whitwam - Posted on 22 January 2024

    Attended opthalmology dept with brother . Arrived at 10 am as requested and by 10.20 he had finished his eye test etc and had drops instilled to await doctor . Almost 2 hrs later after asking a nurse where we were in queue we were told the doctor didn’t need to see him and just to make an appt in 4 months . An almost 2 hr wait to be told this and we also know it happened to another lady who was very irate with the staff. Surely this cannot be accepted procedure can someone not check if seeing him is necessary from the results before they have a 2hr wait

  9. Review titled Mixed bag

    Rated 2 stars out of 5

    by Roger - Posted on 03 December 2023

    Last night’s staff couldn’t have been better. So friendly, helpful and caring… a real credit to our NHS. Today is a different story. My wife was awake at 6am and visited by 3 nurses so far…. Not one word from any of them. A quick look at her notes whilst chatting to a porter about personal (non hospital ) matters , then off. In the wrong profession if they have no care for patients.

    We came with a complex set of symptoms The department was very busy clearly overstretched but still dealt with my husband with compassion ,they dealt with him as a person and not a diagnosis and tried to ensure that all the family were included in the treatment plan
