Review titled Great doctors
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lisa Armstrong - Posted on 13 March 2024
I took my son to an appointment. The doctor was so good with him. He called a more senior doctor in for a second opinion who was also really nice and informative. They were also running on time.

Review titled Awful experience
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Ryan - Posted on 06 March 2024
Our gp referred us for urgent bloods. Went at 9am into the blood room and they said it had to be pre booked appointment as we were told it’s “all about money “ we called and were then told it can’t be same day even though the room was empty and it was urgent Refferal. We went back to our gp who wrote a letter for us with all details and reasoning and told us to go back to a+e. It was 4 hours before we were even assessed and sent to have bloods taken then a further 4 hours to actually have it taken and we are still waiting another 4 hours later for our results. Everyone around us has been waiting 8-12+ hours, one lady fainted, there wasn’t enough seats for the stagnant waiting room and all 3 vending machines broken. Staff communication was poor, we were not kept in touch, staff came out and said people’s names but was too quiet and often missed. Staff were repeating names of people already being treated and when I asked questions she seemed blunt/ rude saying it’s been 11.5 hours as if that is any better than 12 ? Overall awful experience, spent most of my time looking at private insurance, if I can avoid coming back I will at all cost

Review titled Well looked after
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by DOMINIC - Posted on 15 March 2024
I was admitted to the hospital on 11/03/24 with appendicitis. From that moment until my discharge on 14/03/24 all of the staff at the hospital took such good care of me. I am so grateful to them all.

Review titled The staff on Ward 14 are a credit to this hospital
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Hannah - Posted on 09 February 2024
During our stay on Ward 14, with our poorly 3 month old, the staff could not do enough. Despite clearly being incredibly busy, they always greeted us with a smile, took the time to get to know our daughter and explained everything that was going on. Whenever we needed advice or support, someone was always available.

Review titled Broken NHS
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 January 2024
My son has been waiting for a follow up appoint for over 2 years. He is rapidly losing his sight after a diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa. Each time we are told the waiting list is very long. No one in dept answers the phone regardless of when you ring. After 10mins ringing and being “1st in the queue” my most recent call was terminated. Totally, totally deflated by our broken NHS that has let a young boy down and consigned him to lose his sight. Gutted., totally gutted.

Review titled Thank you
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sue Grant - Posted on 17 February 2024
On January 10th I was admitted to LRI for plastic surgery following a biopsy that proved positive for melanoma. As I had only recently started having panic attacks and very high BP, I was extremely nervous. From the minute of my arrival to the point of discharge I was treated with utmost care and professional attention. The receptionist for theatre admissions had about thirty patients waiting and each of us was treated calmly and efficiently, as if we were the only person that mattered at that moment. From then on the nurses admitting me, the surgeon, the anaethetist and his assistant could not have been more caring and kind. The nurses on the recovery and discharge wards continued this exceptional role of care and attention. I short, I was tremendously greatful for the care I received that day, which was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life, but made so much easier by the professional care of every member of the team. I could not fault anyone at any point. This week I was given the good news that I am now cancer free and need no further treatment and I was able to thank my consultant in person, but I would like this extended to the whole team. I do thank you all. Sue Grant.
