Review titled Lack of care
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 April 2025
Iv been with dorthany pattsions for about 10yrs now. I have found the service they have provided over the years has got worse. When you need to speak to your dr you get put through to there secarety. I am going through a hard time at the moment and to be told my appointment is in September and there's nothing that can be done. It will be a year since 1 last saw them around September 2024. I'm struggling as it is waiting a year for appointment is no where good enough. Sorry but it's lack of care. Iv been waiting for a week to have a phone call with my Dr and nothing as of yet. I beyond disappointed with the service and my Dr especially. All she done is give me pills without tackling my problems. When I do finally get in touch with Dr I will be requesting to be removed from this service as I don't feel cared and valued.

Review titled Parking
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anthony Peter Bryan - Posted on 13 August 2024
On 31 July this year I drove my wife for an appointment at Dorothy Pattison, parked in blue badge area. Wife has blue badge and was displayed. My car is also with dvla as tax exempt for same reason. Today have had fine through post from npc for parking without a valid e-permit. I have been taking my wife to you for last 2 years and have never encountered this before. Have the parking rules changed as I cannot recall any signs warning you regards this.

Review titled ever reducing respect for patients and quality of service
Rated 1 star out of 5

Outpatient service hours have been reduced to 1:00pm, but what is not mentioned is that there is a staff lunch break during these operational hours of 45 minutes. Common sense would say that such a long break could be taken after 1:00pm. Maybe something else is going on but this place seems to have an ever reducing respect for patients and quality of service.

Hi, Thanks for reviewing our services. Can I ask where you had this information from please? I’m keen to make sure the correct information is being communicated. The opening hours for the Outpatient Department at Dorothy Pattison Hospital are as follows: 9.00 am to 5.00 pm – Monday to Thursday 8.30 am to 4.30 pm – Friday The outpatient reception is always manned between these hours and Outpatient clinics run from 9.30 am – 4.30 pm every day. I hope this provides clarity to your query Kind regards Tracy Outpatient Manager & Head of Administration

Review titled Disgusted with parking
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Tracy Wedge - Posted on 08 June 2023
As a disabled patient i am disgusted with the disabled parking facilities at Dorothy Patterson Hospital. Each time i go to an appnt i have to park so far away from the entrance that i am in excruciating pain when i get to my appnt. Also the cars that are parked in the disabled spaces do not have blue badges displayed. I expressed my concerns at the hospital but all they said was there was nothing they could do.

Hi Tracy, thanks for leaving this review and we will certainly be escalating this to our facilities team as they are best placed to look at monitoring this situation and taking action where possible. Sorry that you have had to experience this at one of our sites particularly whilst there is also a shortage of spaces at Dorothy Pattison due to the new building work. If you wish to discuss the details further please get in touch with our Service Experience Desk at SED.bchft@nhs.net or on 0800 587 7720

Review titled Outpatient
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 April 2023
I have been in a few instructions as an inpatient and this is by far the worst I have ever been to. The staff do not care about you, I had a 4 hour ward leave and I didn’t come back for 2 days and they didn’t even realise, I brought energy drinks in and everything. I phoned outpatients today to see if I could get a sick note and the first receptionist sounded like a rude child who didn’t want to be at her job, then put me through to someone else without telling me and just a grunt then the next person I spoke to was miserable also. I’m here for a reason and then being horrible on the phone doesn’t help this. Really need to sort the staff out or re train them on having empathy. Disgusting behaviour
