This latest visit was for Twenty Nine days in the Cardiac wards and Intensive care and not to forget the Dental department my experiences as in 2017 after my first Heart Attacks I have always found Blackpool Victoria Hospital Outstanding in every area and Department that have had a reason to provide a service to, or for me. I have nothing but Gratitude and an abundance of respect for all members of the medical staff for being very caring, and professional, and all ancillary staff of all areas my heart felt thank you for looking after me. Thank you Ian Nelson

When my father went into hospital on the 10/7/21. they left him in a side room for 2hours without being seen. Then when someone finally did turn up it was just to tell my father, to do a urine sample then they left him again. They transferred him from urgent care, to Accident and emergency, where staff could see my father was in a wheelchair but left him there for 12 hours. without asking my family member would my father like to sit on a chair or bed. He was not offered food until 9pm he went in at 2pm, a member of staff took bloods and did it incorrectly as blood was running down my fathers hand. The staff were complaining about the patients, which is totally unprofessional. There was no communication between the staff either. So overall To improve the care for patients at this hospital, would be to overhaul the hospital and get caring staff. Deal with the staff shortage that they have.

I was told by my GP to attend the hospital my specialist would be waiting for me upon arrival, i was taken by ambulance and asked to sit in a waiting room full of people some with masks some without, I wear a mask all the time even though I don’t have to due to my immune system. Not only did they not inform my specialist I was there, but I then had to wait 6hrs to see a ER Doctor that had no idea of my situation or how to deal with it. She stood back away from me even though we both had masks on and asked me to remove my cannula myself!

The treatment I have received over the last two years has been first class. I wish to pass my sincere thanks to all the staff who cared for me over this period.

I have been a patient of the Rheumatology clinic for around 25 years. Three months ago all my rheumatoid meds were stopped and since I have been in agony with my joints but I get nowhere with the doctor, Dr Jones or the rheumatology clinic at clifton hospital. The nurses are wonderful at both hospitals and Dr Jones secretary is very helpful. My rheumatiod progressed to the point where I needed ankle fusions on both feet and new knuckles and wrist fusion on my right hand, I'm worried about what no medication will do to my joints but not able to get any answers from anyone. I feel totally let down by my rheumatology consultant and by the clinic at clifton hospital. I already suffer from depression, anxiety and PTSD, all this not knowing is making things worse.

I attended Surgical unit for a day case procedure. The anesthetist and surgeons listened to my concerns regarding general anesthetic, pain relief and reactions to medication experienced previously and after reviewing notes from past surgeries put measures in place to prevent reoccurrence. It took a few hours for me to fit the criteria for discharge and the ODP, nurses in recovery, student nurses and Healthcare assistants really took care of me and gave me the time I needed and reassurance. Every step of the way on the day the staff went above and beyond in too many ways to list here, but each bit was noticed and appreciated. I felt entirely comfortable with the team. My boyfriend still teases me over the victory dance I did (and even repeated because Sr Lindsey pretended to be sad she missed it) when I was good to be discharged and because after confirming my dob in anesthetic room declared "and what a glorious day that was" Apologies for my terrible sense of humour and dancing. The only downside was when the clerk sent my boyfriend out of the waiting area after he had been specifically invited up by recovery staff to help relieve my anxiety that was preventing my discharge. This was a minor breakdown but left him a little confused So to all the morning and afternoon team 2nd floor on 29th May 21 a big thank you and huge appreciation to Aimee who worked very hard to arrange my date too

I attended A&E following a fall on the beach where I injured my arm. I found social sistanced seating areas to be very clean. I waited 2hrs to be seen but Im guessing others were prioritised due to their injuries. Once see I was X rayed, re-seen and then cared for by lovely Bradley who made me feel very comfortable and cared for. Thank you Bradley. I did not cry after leaving you will be pleased to know.
