Review titled Terrible - Poor communication
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Shabnam Tayaballi - Posted on 22 April 2024
Appalling service from the staff at LRI - My father has been passed around like a yo-yo and to date his problem has not been resolved. No update from the hospital when he gets moved around & despite asking for call backs from the DRs - Nothing Terrible communication all round.

The care I received at A & E (and subsequently the stroke unit assessment bay) was efficient, professional and caring at all times. Thank you very much to all the staff who saw me through a difficult 24 hours.

Review titled Highly professional and kind
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by David Hill - Posted on 10 April 2024
The surgeon was highly skilled careful and thoughtful. The nursing staff , funny, numerous and very kind. The reception , highly efficient and better than anything I could have expected. I had wondered about paying privately for this treatment. I’m so pleased a member of the medical team dissuaded me, as no private health care could have improved upon my care yesterday. I hope the team do receive this feed back. Morale can’t be great right now , they deserve all the praise and rewards they can get. A possibly difficult day, with so many positives. David Hill

Review titled Brilliant Service
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Gail - Posted on 23 April 2024
Attending floor 6 for an eye injection this morning, the practitioner was great at explaining, reassuring and administering the jab... with hardly any discomfort. Assisting staff went above and beyond with reassurance and made me feel relaxed and well looked after. Many thanks and great service. Much appreciated.

Review titled Good practice, room for improvement
Rated 4 stars out of 5

After going to the hospital recently for my Ultrasound scan procedure. ( to hopefully rule out cervix cancan) we are told to go with a comfortable full bladder . Not so easy, now as a more mature client. Only to find when I got there there is two possible procedure to choose from . First requires the full bladder just like a baby type scan .Second one I was told they can get a clearer and more accurate picture of the cervix if they do this one by using a probe inside the cervix, however this meant then emptying the bladder. They explained they ask everyone to come with a full bladder, in order to offer you the choice or in case you do not want the more invasive one. All want to say is if they could please instead ask over the phone or email and send some details of both procedures , giving us a clear choice before we arrive. Because for me I believe this is a way forward and much more helpful. I would be so greatful. Please consider this in the further. Thank you for your service.

Review titled Operation cancelled at the 11th hour.
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 March 2024
I was due to have an operation a specific day, turned up to the appt, was checked in, and after waiting a period of 7 hours with no food or drink was told that there not enough beds to accommodate and the operation is cancelled. This is shocking. How our NHS has got to this state is beyond me, especially as we now have the highest tax burden in a cost of living crisis for 70 years.

So I am writing this, because the other rEVIEWS I’ve sent have not been replied to by the National Health Service stop your young Drs going on strike stop your nurse is going on strike retrain them how to be not rude to patients regardless of our diet they are give them training Give them breaks and get them back into the right status of pride that they had in the 70s and 80s when they were wearing their uniforms don’t bother answering me because I know you’re rude there is nothing you can say because you’ll come back with your shortstaffed. I want a doctor that speaks English not with a foreign accent the same way as somebody who wants a Hindu doctor can have that I’m fed up with saying pardon every time a consult or a doctor speaks to me because I can’t make out the accent. I want English speaking doctor with English accent, the same way Hindu want Hindu speaking doctor with Hindu accent language, not a problem, but for me, I want to be able to understand what the doctor saying Understand, bring back the uniform and I don’t mean these silly trousers proper uniform with the capes and hats. Make them look smart give them a pride is much more important than any money
