Review titled Excellent
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by James - Posted on 12 April 2024
Was referred immediately by my GP and was dreading going due to horror stories of A&E in the media. Turned up at 8.30am on a Tuesday, less than 20 persons waiting, Staff friendly, Place clean and was given clear instructions of the A&E consultation process. Took my turn and was seen within 1hr and results within two. Top work and excellent.... It makes want to be ill so I can visits again :)

Review titled Terrible on site pharmacy
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 April 2024
The look of the pharmacy is awful. Staff are borderline rude and unable to give estimates for prescriptions or wait times despite waiting over 2 hours for a repeat prescription. Car park tickets free for 20 mins but ended up paying for 2 hours. Pharmacy were unable and unwilling to help transfer the prescription to a more convenient location.

Staff have no compassion when it comes to dealing with anyone with dementia and just shouts and tells the person to shut up and get back to bed

Review titled Fantastic care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Hazel Jackson - Posted on 04 April 2024
I was a patient between the A&E ward, Assessment Ward and Ward 42 over a 2 day period at the beginning of April 2024. The care between all 3 wards and departments was amazing. The staff were so caring and reassuring, particularly as I was so poorly when I was initially admitted. I truly couldn’t fault the care, attention and reassurance as I needed a lot of assistance when I first went in but not once was I made to feel a nuisance. I hope my thanks can be passed on to them

Review titled Awful meals
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Mosfad - Posted on 17 March 2024
Tonight's food which was served to me is worse than what you'd get in prison. Wouldn't even serve it to the Russian army. Veg was rotten, potatoes were half raw. Would write more but nhs won't let me be honest
