Was given an angiography after a heart attack. From arriving to being transported back to James Paget Hospital, I received excellent care from all staff. The Doctor explained what was happening and I now am so thankful for the repair to my heart. The hospital is wonderful!

Review titled Shocking
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Ian Hindle - Posted on 25 September 2024
N & N Shocking my wife has been sent here to have a Pet-ct scan for her lung cancer. 1. The information on the paperwork gives a general postcode for the hospital Not the Pet-ct scanner area. Fortunately we arrived early. On entering the hospital the information desk was closed and shutters were down. So we asked for directions to the correct area from a member of staff that was having her lunch in the foyer. She directed us to the radiologist department, who then directed us to the Mri/ct area. At this point the male receptionist told up you are in the wrong place, and when I asked where we should go as we didn’t know the hospital, he replied down stairs. After finding the department outside the main hospital we got my wife booked in was informed they would call me when she was finished, asking how long it would take, was told an hour- or an hour & 1/2. So I asked where I would find a canteen, the response was in the main hospital. (Signs in the hospital are either non existent or they don’t make sense and are miss leading. I returned to the Pet-ct Scan department only to be told I was not allowed to wait in the waiting area, as this is for patients only, (again the referral information provided does not tell you this). Asking where I am supposed to go, I was bluntly told by the door man, I can either walk around, sit in my car or find an area in the main hospital to wait. People that have cancer and their loved ones, should not have to be treated like this, I have paid my taxes for the last 45 years and I am shocked that this hospital is allowed to be run like this and not have people here to assist its patients and their families that are going through enough pain and heartache as it is Shocking

Review titled Like something from a third world country
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 September 2024
I was sent to ED after being taken unwell in another department of the hospital. From the off, the staff were dismissive and disinterested. I was streamed to the "Front Door", which meant I was sat in a lobby with about 20 other patients, without access to water or a toilet for 4 hours, and able to overlook and oversee the staff having confidential conversations about other patients at the desk, openly arguing about the management of the other patients, and become increasingly confused and chaotic about which patients they were actually responsible for and where they were. The consultant who saw me didn't listen to me explaining what had happened, and didn't ask any follow up questions. The nurse who took my observations and ECG forgot to actually measure my blood pressure. When my blood results were back, I was told in the middle of the lobby (and in front of other patients) that my test results were fine and that I could go. I was concerned about one specific cause for my symptoms - the consultant laughed at me and didn't answer my questions. I was sent home tachycardic, hypotensive and dizzy, without any cause for my symptoms being found or without having a plan. My poor GP will have to pick this up. A truly terrible experience - I'd honestly advise anyone needing ED in Norwich to travel to JPUH or QEH rather than putting themselves through this hell.

From entry at A&E, an emergency hernia operation, and discharge the next day, every last person I encountered was kind and professional. I thank them all.

Review titled No longer terrified of procedure
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Dave - Posted on 23 August 2024
A number of times before this year I’d tried to have the camera down into my gut in the end I’d given up and had an X-ray to my relief. But this year I’d had to go back and the thought of it terrified me. But from the initial appointment being booked all the way through the appointment I had such amazing support and reassurance that I completed the examination and added to this no longer fear the whole procedure. This is a testament to the professionalism of the staff from start to finish who got me through this procedure. I now know that if I ever need it again I’ve nothing to be concerned about and am extremely grateful to the whole department for this.

Review titled Brilliant Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anita Somerville - Posted on 16 August 2024
Exceptional care throughout my visit to minors with a broken wrist. Very helpful receptionist and all the nursing and radiology staff very without fault. The care and professionalism was amazing. Everything about my treatment was explained before and during the procedures. I visited the department on Monday 12th in the afternoon. Thank you everyone who had a part in my care.

I attended the TIA clinic after they were very helpful getting me an appointment. The whole procedure was kind and efficient. And it is reassuring if I have to to A&E there will be no delay. A good department at the N&N
