Review titled So Kind!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Ben Roscoe - Posted on 22 May 2025
I was in elective surgery today for my knee, arrived at 7:15 this morning and was pampered until I left at 4:30pm. Unfortunately I don’t recall any names in particular due to the anaesthetic, but vividly recall everyone on the ward being lovely - not just to me but to the other patients - which was both very comforting and heartwarming. Just wanted to say a huge thank you to the whole department for being so kind!

Review titled At last a welcome experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5

My granddaughter gashed her chin and needed urgent care. Saw the desirable and more efficient, compassionate and skillful side of the NHS for her. Visited A&E Bishop Auckland and she was seen within 5 mins, treat within 10 mins. Transferred to children's ward at University Hospital at Durham to see a plastic surgeon ASAP. Skillful, friendly and efficient. Spot on.

Review titled Unprofessional
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 March 2025
Whilst no doubt the staff appear friendly , as an ex Ward Sister I was dismayed by the unprofessional impression I witnessed at the pre assessment clinic . Staff were wandering around drinking cans , leaving them on top of the reception desk . Whilst I sat waiting with my Father , nurses were huddled around a mobile phone clearly watching a personal video . Whilst this may seem trivial , the impression this gives to the public who are being told staff are overworked and stressed is not a good one , particularly as I know this is the case on so many wards . I do need to qualify this with the fact my Father was seen on time by a competent pleasant member of the team .

Review titled Fantastic Staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by John Maguire - Posted on 21 May 2025
After having a stroke I was transferred to Bishop Auckland hospital to ward 3 on 20.02.2025.- 04/04/2025 I would like to firstly praise the domestic team for all there hard work on keeping the ward spotless. Secondly the physiotherapist ( psycho terrorist ) team for all their help i can't remember all their names and also the OT for all her work in getting me home and lastly all the doctors and nurse's on the ward. They are a credit to the hospital and the NHS. Thank you from the bottom of my heart •

I had an endoscopy and the whole team were fantastic from registration to discharge. They made me feel at ease and reassured at every stage of the process.

Review titled Lovely friendly staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 October 2024
I was nervous about the operation but a nurse introduced herself and said she would be my nurse all day. Booking me in on the computer. The theatre was extremely modern and clean. A spinal injection was given with no discomfort. After surgery a cup of coffee and a sandwich was given to me. The whole day went very smoothly and would recommend the hospital to anyone.
