Review titled Saddened by the miserable sonographer
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 01 June 2023
Had a scan a couple of Thursdays ago, at 20 weeks and 5 days for my second baby. What was meant to be a lovely experience due to covid and my partner not being able to attend scans for my first baby, was not the experience we were looking for after the grumpy and very miserable sonographer. She called me in, walked about 4 foot in front and told me to lie down. Barely said a word through the whole scan. Now thankfully my baby is all ok, but it makes me sad to think that if anything had been wrong, I wouldn’t like to think how she would have broken the news. All my other scans the sonographer have been talkative, chatty, supportive but this was a different story. I thought maybe I was over looking it until my friend had a scan the following week with the same sonographer and said the exact same thing!

Review titled Trauma-informed training in regards to autistic patients
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 April 2023
I visited the hospital for an ultrasound with my wife who is also my carer. She had called ahead weeks ago to say that I would need her present throughout the appointment, and although this is not usually the procedure, it was agreed I could have her there to support me. When I arrived for the appointment, I was told I couldn't have her there, or I could wait longer for management to be called and to have a different type of scan. I had already waited a long time at the hospital and on hearing that my appointment would be delayed, I had a meltdown due to anxiety, autistic sensory overload and PTSD. I have trauma relating to these sorts of intimate examinations, and it would have been helpful to have been able to get on with the appointment without having to disclose too much personal information in this regard. The staff were otherwise very friendly and professional, and managed my meltdown well in the end, but I was incredibly distressed throughout the procedure, and afterwards as it had triggering post-traumatic depression and physical chronic pain. I do not feel that this is a matter of complaint, as the staff assured me they were following protocols, but I do hope that this review will be received as intended- as positive criticism- and that more training will be given around trauma-informed care, and that a system can be put in place where patients can request a person known to them to chaperone them, and for this need to be respected, especially for autistic and other neurodivergent individuals.

Review titled Fantastic team
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Annette Varlet - Posted on 06 February 2023
Having supported my best friend having breast cancer treatments in 2022, I went for my routine breast screening last Tuesday at Princess Ann. Arrived early and was seen immediately. The medical professional lady was absolutely brilliant. Did not have any discomfort (which I had in previous screenings) after the screening and I would like to highly praise her professionalism! Thank you sooo much! Just received results in less than a week! Heartfelt Thanks to the entire NHS Team at Princess Ann!

Review titled Took me seriously
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 December 2022
I had an appointment because of my very painful periods and even though I had to wait a few months for it, once I was in the hospital, I had a very short waiting time and the doctor was incredibly friendly and took time to examine me properly. I felt taken seriously which I didn't by my GP. The staff at the hospital are amazing and all deserve a payrise.

Review titled Poor Staff Communication
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 November 2022
Felt there was total lack of empathy, warmth or human kindness at pelvic scan. I recommend that staff involved in intimate and invasive procedures of this nature, are trained to at least try to be kind and friendly. A simple smile goes a long way, and if a patient says they are nervous, to at least acknowledge it. Find the GP surgery nurse excellent when giving smear tests, a complete contrast, where they are friendly and reassuring. I would not recommend Princess Anne in this clinical area due to lack of empathy, friendliness or warmth. However, acknowledge totally that staff are likely to be overworked and over stretched, and this causes them to forgot, and you become just another number on a factory line. To be got through as soon as possible. Need follow input after this scan and this experience has really put me off having further treatment. Would not wish this to be others experience.

Review titled Rude doctor
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 October 2022
I went for a follow up appointment. I have previously spoken to the dr on the phone and she was lovely. Face to face though it changed. I was told I was imagining my breast lump getting bigger even though I feel it has and a previous scar I have on my breast, I was told was stretched and she didn't want that on the other breast as well. I came out crying as she really knocked my self esteem. I have been told to go back to the gp and now I'm to upset to follow up. In general how she spoke to me was abrupt and rude.Previous appointments have been brilliant.

Review titled Feedback
Rated 5 stars out of 5

As a female that has been unable to have children and have to attend gynae department on a regular basis for endometriosis, I struggle to understand why people who have fertility issues are sat waiting in a room full of couples attending for a scan of their baby. It always seems completely wrong to be surrounded by this when u are attending to find out if you will ever be able to have children.

Review titled Amazing care from incredible nurses
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Emily Taylor - Posted on 03 August 2022
I received phenomenal care on the day surgery unit of the Princess Anne hospital when in for “surgical management of miscarriage”. The nurses in the day unit who cared for me were incredible, compassionate, so empathetic and they genuinely cared and couldn’t do enough for me. They promised me at the start of the day they would make my visit as positive as they could given the horrible reason I was there. They fulfilled on this promise 110%. Thank you, I am so grateful.

Review titled Wonderful people
Rated 4 stars out of 5

I went to the breast imagery unit to sort out a lump on my left breast. They took a biopsy, this involves them making a little cut to allow them to get a sample. The whole time everyone was so professional and lovely. I’m only 19 so was extremely anxious about things before my appointment but the my spoke me through what she was doing before she done it. I even got to watch it on the screen! The consultants, nurses and receptionists are wonderful and if I have to go back again I know I will be under good care. Everyone understands that it can be scary, and the people their make it easier to deal with everything. Massive thank you to them and everything they do :) x
