Review titled Minor injuries
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 07 December 2023
Not enough staff on for minor injuries. After sitting for 2 hours only 3 people had been called. Nurses just walking about chatting and going in the stock cupboard. There is certainly no sense of urgency for them. People coming in hours after me and being seen first and certainly didn’t need to. Receptionist staff are not the friendliest and don’t look like they enjoy their jobs. No communication as to how long waiting times are. Still waiting to be seen might be here all day.

Review titled Friendly and helpful
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I had cataract surgery August 2023. Every member of staff went out of their way to welcome me to Ward 1 and put me at ease. The nursing staff, theatre staff and the staff in the recovery room were all so friendly and professional. I felt very confident that I was having the best treatment. I live in Otley and it was good to be able to use a local facility. No worries now about having my second cataract removed!

Wharfedale is a very nice hospital to be treated by, however since my appointment in August to discuss my ongoing treatment I have not heard from them which is a concern as my condition has deteriorated, this is despite writing to the surgeon myself and my doctors surgery writing to the consultant !!!

Fantastic building and great potential . Sadly receptionist felt she could diagnose me in the waiting room and dismissed my concerns when I felt I needed to be see . 111 backed me up but they turned me away. “Nurse too busy “ . Wow bet she’s glad she’s not a midwife .

Review titled Fantastic NHS treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Having cut my big toe very badly, I went to the Minor Injuries clinic at Wharfedale. Explaining that it was bleeding very profusely, I was taken straight through to a room where two really professional and friendly members of the nursing team took quick action to stop the bleeding, clean me up, give me a tetanus jab and sew the wound up. In these times of NHS criticism, I want to fully emphasise that I couldn't have asked for better treatment than these two ladies gave. I'm only sorry that I can't name them here (though one had driven from Hull to Otley for her shift - that's dedication indeed!

Review titled Great treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Martin Bamforth - Posted on 01 June 2023
Called in to the Urgent Treatment Centre with a painful infected toe on Wednesday 31 May, having paid for plenty of parking time and fully expecting a long wait. It was busy, but I was home within an hour, fully sorted. All the staff I saw were excellent - professional, friendly and very efficient - simply couldn’t have been a better experience. Thanks very much!

Review titled Wonderful Care
Rated 4 stars out of 5

As American spending time in beautiful Yorkshire, I had a minor 'spill' during a 'ramble.' Result: snapped thumb diagnosed as gamekeepers/(preferred) skiiers thumb. Had heard of Nhs lacking personnel & timely treatment. Staff overworked, underpaid. Did not want to be a burden on system. However, decided condition should be evaluated, and soon. The entire staff was sympathetic and caring. Yes, I was there for 6+ hours but I received adequate attention & care. I cannot say enough about every employee who I met: reception, physician, nurse, x-ray tech.... I am fortunate to live in an area in the us which offers world renowned healthcare: Boston, Ma. I have never been treated better at those hospitals, by their staffs. Everyone who works at the NHS and in particular Wharfdale uc deserves praise, support and a liveable wage!!
