Urgent referral not dealt with quickly

December 14, 2023
I was referred to the cardiology department by my GP as urgent, 7 days later I had heard nothing from the hospital. My GP referred me again but 2 weeks later I still had not heard anything. I became so frustrated and worried about my heart problem that I took myself to A&E instead.

Excellent stoke care

December 14, 2023
I was admitted following a massive stroke. During my time as an in-patient I cannot fault the care I received. The staff were all great, they did their upmost to ensure I was on the road to recovery.

Still waiting for MRI

Cancer services
December 14, 2023
I had a recent appointment that did go well, but I was told that I would have an urgent MRI within 7 days. This did not happen and I am still waiting. I have contacted them and been told that this is due to a backlog of senior radiographer reports being done.

Hard to navigate around the hospital

December 13, 2023
The hospital is difficult to get to and takes over 40 minutes. The hospital is hard to navigate and I have had to stop and ask paramedics for directions. There's no one at the hospital to show you around like at others. When I found the department there was no reception desk, no one to ask if I was in the right place, so after a long car journey, a struggle to to park and find the department I arrived 10 minutes late and they refused to give me my planned ECG. I was shocked by such awful treatment and very frustrated and annoyed by the attitudes of the staff who were unwilling to show compassion.

Long & Awful Experience in A&E

Accident and emergency services
November 16, 2023
I spent 15 hours in A&E waiting to be seen. In that time I was only moved from one waiting area to another. I discharged myself. The department was filthy, waiting times were atrocious. Elderly patients were just left without any care provided at all, I cared for one elderly gentleman in the waiting area. He was very old and frail, he had no food or drink with him, I got him a drink and some food because the staff could not care less. He was left with a temporary sling but no one had even helped him to put it on properly, so I assisted him. Overall the experience was shocking, and I was appalled that vulnerable elderly people we not better cared for by staff.
