Went to a out of hours clinic at Penrice hospital, told a scan needed, passed over to Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust waited 20 hours for a ultra sound scan that could have been done at Penrice hospital in the first place.

Review titled Superb care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by John Griffin - Posted on 18 June 2024
My wife was admitted for end of life care and everything was done to make her comfortable. Doctors, nurses and care assistants all acted with both compassion and efficiency. They can be very proud of what they do.

Review titled Hit and miss
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 29 August 2023
It really is a hit and miss my 4yr old daughter was going in regularly and we met some lovely nurses that was calm and reassuring myself and my daughter they seemed passionate and then we went to derriford and met a nurse who offered my daughter a lift not me the parent her words were (I will pick you up for your next appointment ) then smile at my daughter while I was sat behind her and she didn't turn her head to make contact with me, my daughter said no we went in nanny's car today and grandad with bring me here then to mc'ds which the nurse did not respond too I travelled just over an hr to the hospital that day and she wasn't informed how I got there I do not find that behaviour appropriate! We visited deriford 3x in the last 2 weeks before meeting this one, on my daughters last appointment at penrice changing between two hospitals forjust over a month the same nurse told me to check my daughter but if I wanted to I could take her to a gp which I most certainly did and another 3weeks for treatment was needed the gp was amazing at emotional support and cleaning but unfortunately not wrapping a bandage I eventually brought my own supplies and put my first aid certificate to hand for my daughter because the bacis seemed too much of a job for the gp to do it properly or maybe they was unaware they was doing it wrong after the 1st of 3 visits to the gp I did tell the nurse that it came undone and still continued... Unfortunately some of these experiences has made me feel very uneased approaching the NHS I do hope in the future I will be able to go back in with an opened mind and not have to feel like I need my guard up.

Review titled Amazing practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Sam - Posted on 30 July 2023
I unfortunately arrived with a knitting needle through my finger, from reception through to nursing all staff were amazing. Helpful, prompt, caring, and efficient. The care I received was incredible, they explained everything in detail and made me feel extremely safe. I cannot thank them enough.

Review titled Exemplary MIU Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 June 2023
I visited St Austell MIU yesterday after my fiance and child sustained wounds from a cat. Right from the moment you enter, staff greet you with a welcoming and kind manner. The admin, HCA and practitioner's were exceptional. The staff were professional, empathetic and respectful throughout. Despite working under such pressure during such busy times, the team were went above and beyond to provide a compassionate 5 star service. I must mention the nurse's terrible jokes - these made us feel at ease after feeling so stressed by the trauma. This team is an asset to the NHS and the St Austell community.

Review titled Professional Team
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Amanda Hastilow - Posted on 29 May 2023
I don’t often write reviews, unless I feel strongly about my experience. Today I was advised by 111 to visit the MIU at St Austell Community Hospital about my eye. I was seen quickly by triage then after a short wait I saw the nurse. The nurse who examined my eye was professional, caring and reassuring. The whole experience could have been worrying and anxious, but the team’s sense of humour made my experience almost enjoyable!! I can’t speak highly enough about my experience from start to finish, especially when it was a Bank Holiday Monday and it was extremely busy! All the staff were great! I have been to this MIU many times over the years, either for myself or family members and it is consistently good. Thank you

My daughter had to go in due to a fracture on her wrist, they were amazing with her, she went back there to get the cast off and put the splint on and they were so calm with her. Very happy with the treatment.
