Review titled Excellent A@E staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by ANGELO FREDA - Posted on 01 February 2024
Called 999, 10 mins later ambulance arrived. Waited approx I hour withtreatment from doctor and ambulance crew. Was transferred to another ambulance where crew were also amazing. Finally was admitted to a busy A&E, I was monitored, Xrayed and prescribed Medication. Throughout this traumatic experience for me, at all times I received support and treatment from efficient, dedicated people, who were so busy, left for home at 11.00pm feeling so grateful for the staff working for the NHS. It was definitely an eye opener as I had no idea of the pressure they were under and how professionally they dealt with it. Thank you

I had to attend A&E at Bedford Hospital yesterday (03/01/2023), with an exacerbation of asthma and symptoms of infection. It was clear they were very busy, I was however dealt with swiftly, with kindness and with excellent care, which as someone who has chronic respiratory disease, it was very reassuring. Thank you for the care and attention I was given

Review titled Good experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Brenda Roff - Posted on 01 February 2024
My hip operation right from my first appointment through to my discharge was a very good experience. I was treated as a person by friendly professionals. Right from the cleaner, catering staff, nurses, physios, anaesthetists to the surgeon . I Felt relaxed and cared for throughout. I am sorry if I have omitted someone but everyone I can in to contact with was cheerful and friendly.

Arrived at A and E this morning at 8.45am and from moment I arrived I was treated with kindness and thoughtful staff It was a calm atmosphere and everything spotless clean I was on my way home , with diagnosis of hairline fracture in my foot - and a black boot by 12 noon - even though I was prepared for a long long wait given it was more of a minor injury I only hope follow up communications and treatment are done to the same high standard I received today

Review titled What an absolute joke
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Daniel pink - Posted on 11 December 2023
So back in July I went to my gp complaining of numb leg pain and felt like my knee is twisting. I got sent for an xray by my docs. Went to Bedford hospital for said Xray. After the Xray I got informed to go to a&e. I asked why and was told its protocol. Sat in a&e for 2hrs and finally got seen by the nurse. I asked him want I am doing in a&e he said protocol. He told me to wait further for the doctor. An hour later I get called into the docs. I ask him why am I in a&e he said protocol. I was getting annoyed by this point so I asked again what have you seen in the Xray. He then asks me when did I break my leg? I said never, Oh your leg is fractured. They then told me to leave and await scans. I had my first mri scan in August and they scanned my knee. I went back to the consultant to get the results. After waiting 2.5hrs I got to see the consultant. He then proceeds to tell me that they have Mri'd the wrong part of my leg. The have Mri'd my knee instead of my tibula. So I had to wait for another scan appointment. Finally it comes along in October. I go and have the scan. Approx 2 weeks later I am given a hospital appointment Nov 8th to review the results of the scan. On the 8th Nov I have a phone call from the hospital saying that my appointment today is not worth it as they haven't received the results yet. I state my appoint is tomorrow not today! Anyway after some discussion my appointment is cancelled awaiting results. 3 days later I receive a text message from the NHS stating I have a new appointment to review my results. I book the day off work again and go to the hospital. I sit in the waiting room for another 3hrs waiting to be seen. Eventually I get called in. The consultant then states they still haven't received my results. The consultant seemed angry and left a voice message for the team that deals with scan analysis. That was approx 5 weeks ago. Still don't have my results, still my leg is numb and very painful but the Nhs don't care as I'm British and I pay all my taxes. I feel like I have been given the run around and the service is an absolute joke! I have kept it clean here but I am very very very annoyed. Nhs do you fancy getting me my results from my scan or what? Probably speak to you next year when you pull your fingers out!!!! What an absolute joke - Go private - The Nhs is a joke!!!! Utter Chaos !!!!!!!!!!!!

Review titled Such great care
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I had a plate put in my wrist to realign a fracture. Every single member of staff I met was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and friendly. I felt safe and cared for from the moment I arrived until I left. When I was in pain they reacted swiftly and with genuine concern. They also provided me with tea and biscuits to revive me in Recovery and even made sure they had the same biscuits back on the ward! I truly appreciate the wonderful care I had. Thank you 🙏
