Review titled Professional and kind team on the Stroke ward.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 December 2023
My Dad was taken to Stroke ward L 2. All the medical professionals we came into contact with were kind and caring. While we were waiting, one of the nurses kindly made him and my Mum a cup of tea. My Dad was also offered something to eat, which during these stretched times for the NHS we didn’t expect at all. My Dad received the care he needed and we are grateful for the level of kindness. Thank you L 2.

Review titled No care
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 December 2023
the medical care at hallamshire is brilliant but actual care is zero. buzzers ignored while staff chat at nurses station. patients hardly spoken to and not helped to wash or get changed. Medications to aid comfort forgotten, food forgotten, basic comfort and cleanliness of patients forgotten. give any pay rise to domestic staff who do the nurses share of patient care.

Review titled Timely, efficient and kind
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Thank you to the consultant and nurses involved in my procedure. They were all kind, understanding, and reassuring. They appreciated that although this was a routine procedure for them, it was something more to me. Thus, I felt at ease, reassured and in safe hands.

I arrived at the ent department Royal hallamshire hospital for my appointment I was called in on time by a very friendly and welcoming clinician . He explained everything very thoroughly and was extremely professional albeit had a sense of humour he made me feel very relaxed and I felt it was a great consultation. These days people criticise the NHS but in my experience there was nothing to complain about whatsoever

Review titled An almost perfect outpatient experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 November 2023
I visited Gynaecology Outpatients at Jessop Wing yesterday for a colposcopy. Being autistic, medical appointments cause me a huge amount of anxiety. However, the experience I had yesterday was overall positive and smooth. I was seen promptly by two kind and attentive nurses. The manner of the lead nurse in particular was exemplary. She listened carefully and explained the procedure clearly before examining me thoroughly. Thank you very much for the level of care and patience I received. My only gripe is with the receptionist. She was initially friendly, but when I was unable to produce a urine sample, she questioned me and made me feel uneasy. I've every hope this was a one-off and with a little less judgement, other patients will find their experience here is perfect.

Review titled Excellent care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Claire Walker - Posted on 08 November 2023
My 86 year old dad had a procedure to remove a myeloma on his back. All the staff who were involved in his care were absolutely first class. We felt so cared for and reassured. A theatre practitioner even helped me to take my dad in a wheelchair to the main lift. He was so helpful even though it was the end of his long shift and had every right to get out of the workplace as fast as he could. Nobody could have done more for us. We are do appreciative of their total professionalism.

Review titled Accessibility to car park at 8.30 am unavailable
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 01 December 2023
I was late for my 8.30 am appointment with ENT on 30/11/2023 by 30 minutes due to traffic congestion caused by your car park being closed except for blue badge holders. I was told I might have to wait for up to 4 hours to be seen although I did not have to wait that long. I am 82 years of age and had to find alternative parking at much greater cost resulting in the delay.Upon leaving the hospital at 10am I found that the car park was now open to all. The chaotic traffic congestion caused by the hospitals decision to close the car park without notice was the result in my delay. I find it difficult to believe the small number of blue badge holders with appointments at that time in the morning would nessesitate the closure of the car park. I purpously choose early morning appointments as I believe the car park is less likely to be full. If this is to be a regular occurrence I would appreciate notification prior to my future appointments.

Thank you for taking the time to share feedback about your recent experience of accessing our services. We are really sorry to read about the difficulties you experienced with finding alternative car parking to be able to attend your appointment and the delay to being seen you experienced due to the unexpected congestion on the road that morning. The the Multi-storey car park had to be closed at short notice on 30/11/23 due to inclement weather, and the STH Estates team were working to resolve this as quickly as possible. The car park was closed as a one-off due to it not being safe for it to be open until the Estates team had addressed the impacts of the inclement weather. As these were unforeseen circumstances outside of our control, prior warning was not able to be provided to patients about this. However, the closure of the car park will not be a regular occurrence. We hope that this information is helpful and wishing you all the best with any ongoing care and treatment.
