Review titled Brilliant
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Had my second Prostate Transperineal Biopsy yesterday at James Cook yesterday, a sensitive and undignified procedure but the team were totally reassuring, sensitive, professional but informal. I thank them but would also want to say to "us blokes", don't be embarrassed seeking help over our "bits". Our fears are their bread and butter and they were just brilliant! Thanks. Bob

Review titled Not quite great nursing care
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 March 2024
Short admission for removal of bladder tumour pre assessment fine all staff friendly and helpful. Problems after surgery three times in the night bed was soaken due due catheter leaking as draining bag was full to the brim and obviously causing back pressure “ I should point out I am a retired nurse with 47 years experience and worked in urology theatre and on the wards” My biggest moan is when I was told “ Darling you have to do a big wee wee before we can let you go home It’s rather obvious staff feel anyone of an old age must be suffering from cognitive impairment. Holistic approach to the nursing staff is either anathema or an enigma I don’t know,on a lighter note the food served or rather thrown at you was awful.

Review titled Exceptional life savers
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by A & M Sch - Posted on 20 February 2024
My husband was transferred by blue light ambulance from Durham for an urgent procedure. From the moment we arrived on 16/2/24 until discharge from Coronary Care Unit on 19/2/24 the care was outstanding. Every member of the team work like a well oiled machine, they’re compassionate, sympathetic and superb at their job. We were obviously terrified at the thought of what was happening on our arrival, but the team explained everything and put us at ease. The care on this unit is phenomenal and deserves high praise. Even on discharge day, all members of the cardiac team updated my husband on what to expect, how to cope with any challenges and gave him time to ask questions. This is how the National Health Service should be.

Review titled Great Service!

Huge thank you to staff in the Opthalmology Unit at James Cook Hospital for their service. After a few worrying days over the Christmas period, the consultant put my mind at rest (eye problem due to me getting older apparently, but no treatment required thankfully). In total, I was there approximately 30 minutes, which is excellent in this day and age.

Following cardiac surgery on 17th of January I can only congratulate all of the staff supporting patient care & post surgery recovery on Ward 32. The professionalism of the staff was exceptional I could not fault any aspect of the care I received during my stay. A big thank you to you all.

Review titled Saved a Mum days of worry
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Hayli Ingram - Posted on 02 January 2024
I am a second time mum, who didn't realise how anxiety provoking the second time would be. After worrying about my new little one for a week we went to peads A and E and had him checked. He was perfectly fine but the time taken by the nurse practioner and staff nurse to offer reassurance and advice was amazing, it really settled my partner and I. I'm sorry I have forgotten your names but the two nurses who worked the 23rd December night shift and talked to two shattered parents about the size of babies tummies ... thank you!!!!

Review titled Thank you just isn't enough
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Linda Johnson - Posted on 10 January 2024
My husband was blue lighted to James Cook on December 5 2023 as he was having a heart attack. When I got there ( We live in Durham) he was in intensive care, unconscious. The staff were very welcoming to me and my family. They kept me informed what was happening with the plethora of machines and tubes he was covered with. I'd never been in an Intensive Care Unit before and I was, and still am, in awe of the staff at James Cook. They fought so very hard to save my husband, they threw everything they had at him. Sadly it was not to be. The professionalism, the dignity, compassion and care shown towards both Keith and myself I've never experienced anywhere else. Myself and my family will be eternally grateful for everything they did to try and save Keith and also for their compassion towards us after he died. We will never forget you all, you made a dreadfully stressful and heartbreaking situation easier for us to deal with. No-one or any other hospital on this planet could have done more for Keith than James Cook Intensive Care 2 did. If your expertise alone could have saved him, Keith would have lived forever. God bless you all xxx

Review titled Audiology Outpatient

Audiology are always so good at communicating with me over the phone when I need to call to sort things out for an elderly relative. It’s a friendly service with a smile too when I call at reception for batteries or to hand over the hearing aids for repair. Thank you Audiology.
