Rated 5 stars out of 5

I was seen by the Maxillofacial team on Wednesday morning. My appointment was on time, the staff were all very pleasant and professional. They made me very comfortable which helped enormously during the procedure. Thank you

Review titled Understanding, friendly and caring staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5

After attending A&E today as a terminal stage 4 cancer patient on chemotherapy who brought my mother with me who is registered newly blind. I cannot praise the staff enough for a ) seeing me quickly. B) making sure I was in a side room to protect myself due to no immune system c ) to the fantastic young man porter who pushed myself to x Ray but also explained where to walk for my mother and let her hold onto him while he was navigating a busy hall and numerous beds to the x Ray staff who helped my mum to a waiting area while I was x rayed and then collected her again to come to me. All of these little things mean such a huge deal to a family who are going through such a stressful time! Neither of the staff had to help my mum but they all did and I cannot thank u all enough as it made the whole situation less stressful for us both.

Review titled Excellent service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Hugely impressed with my experience of the UTC. Called 111 at 9am with a problem with my eye. They booked me in for a half 9 appointment at the UTC, and I was seen on time by a lovely lady. 10 minutes later, my ailment was sorted and I was on my way home.

Review titled Kicked out of my bed before breakfast after surgery
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 March 2024
I was asked to leave the ward and go sit in a waiting room for medication, and sent home 12 hours after I had surgery. I told them I didn’t feel well enough to leave and nurse also made a remark that I wasn’t as mobile as I should be if leaving. I can’t even wash myself or get out of bed on my own. I had been awake only a couple of hours when I was asked to go home to free up beds. There was absolutely no pain level check since my surgery although it has been entered into my chart without asking me. And I was left for 7 hours within a couple hours of surgery with absolutely no pain relief despite having asked and being in more pain than pre-operation. But was only offered 2 x 500mg of paracetamol even though I was IV morphine before my surgery. I cannot even move without help and have been kicked out with ineffective pain relief, no checkup from then surgeon after my surgery, or even a wash. Can’t say I would recommend anyone to come to Chichester and especially not Pagham Ward

Review titled Effective Accident Response
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Gillian Eve Phillips - Posted on 02 April 2024
At 9.30 pm on 23/03/2024 I attended accident and emergency after a fall down steps in the dark, ,damaging my face, bleeding profusely and in shock. I was delt with very effectively within 2 1/2 to 3 hours. the staff were helpful and efficient, I was seen by a doctor who was very helpful, informative, accurate and efficient. I would rate the staff response as a 1,the state of the hospital showed underinvestment, disabled loo closed ,problems with blood pressure monitoring machines, the e response to review my treatment which I was asked to make didn't work---hence this review. That element I would rate at a 3.Hope this is helpful

Review titled Fantastic
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jade - Posted on 14 March 2024
I was admitted for surgery following an incomplete miscarriage. Despite the sad circumstances of my treatment, the staff were fantastic. I felt well informed throughout the process and felt cared for in an empathetic way. As a NHS nurse myself, it’s has re-enforced my love and appreciation for the NHS and I feel proud to work for such a fantastic organisation. The team made an awful situation feel that bit easier. Thank you.

Review titled A lovely hospital let down by the Pharmacy
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 March 2024
I visited the urgent treatment centre with mum and the service was lovely, the team could not have been kinder and we couldn't have asked for more. We were given a prescription to take our local pharmacy but they didn't have the medicine and said return to St Richards who will help. We returned to the St Richard pharmacy, which was closed, and waited until 1 when it opened. a lovely person served us and was so kind, but we had to ask the pharmacist what to do. This was when the excellent service wheels fell off the bus, as the pharmacist shrieked that they could not help now as they "needed to pee". They disappeared for 45 minutes while we waited with Mum in the wheelchair for their return. We all need to take a break, but we all need to be professional and this really wasn't. We were embarrassed for the lovely person at the counter who kept checking in on us, and they were so kind, but please, St Richards, sort out the pharmacy - perhaps have a second pharmacist on duty for comfort breaks?

Review titled Perfect from start to finish
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Adrian - Posted on 22 March 2024
Went for day surgery today. I was greeted by friendly nurses and immediately shown to my area. I cannot fault anything the did in pre-op. Everyone involved in the surgery said hello and provided and calming environment. The nurses in post op were some of the most caring and friendly I have ever known. Faultless, it felt like private service and I am eternally grateful. Thank you to all involved

Review titled Amazing
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Danielle - Posted on 01 March 2024
I have had all four of my children here and the care was amazing. However this week my 8 month old baby girl had suspected meningitis. The whole nursing team, chefs, cleaners and of course the doctors were amazing. They worked so fast and so efficiently. They cared for me my partner and my daughter’s twin sister and of course her amazingly. Allowing us all to stay together. I can’t thank them enough for everything they did. They were so on the ball and got my little girl back up and better within days. They went above and beyond for us. All staff explained everything they were doing and kept us in the know at all times. They made us feel comfortable the whole time we were there nothing was to much trouble. I just can’t fault them on anything. The care we all received was truly perfect. Thank you to the whole of Howard ward for everything you did for my little Esther you all are an amazing team.
