I was looked after through the whole experience.
I'd spent a week being so poorly but trying to avoid the place, but the GP surgery insisted on calling an ambulance for me to get there and be treated like I'm making it all up for attention and medication. I'm honestly disgusted, appalled, mortified and do not feel I have the confidence to ever seek help again, especially as this is not the first, nor even the second or third time this has happened to me. This department really needs to work on its treatment of the chronically ill! I'd actually rather let myself drop down dead than attend that department again. Especially now since it means playing very dangerously with medication to try and treat what they wouldn't as a result of the ignorance displayed upon my visit by having double up on dosage to try and treat the pain.
We were treated very well but the wait times were far too long. I got my 9 year old home at 3.30am. She was more tired than anything else at that point and ended up missing a day of school unnecessarily. We had been at the hospital for 6 hour and were told we had saved 2-3 hours because we were rushed straight through to to nurse when we arrived rather than waiting. I have no complaints about the staff or the treatment but the waiting time was terrible.
It's a mixed bag of great and awful staff. On one hand was treat very well. But on the other hand appallingly and reduced to tears. Spoken to with uncalled for comments and gestures. Always feel scared to visit.
Very good experience. Dr explained result of XRay and talked me through the procedure alongside a caring and professional ENP nurse
Staff were very busy but they were quick and efficient
I attended a@e with a broken foot ! When on arrival I had to stand for an hour on said broken foot in a waiting line at front door. No chair available once checked in to reception was told to walk all way to fracture clinic at far side of hospital which was agony then asked to walked from fracture clinic to X-ray was only due to a passing nurse who noticed how much pain and struggling I was in that I ended up in a chair with some assistance but to be honest too little too late
Triage seemed hit and miss long queues outside the building
From the moment I was wheeled into A&E the doctors and nurses were very professional and caring they couldn't do enough for me everyone went over and above with my care.
Even the paramedics when they finally arrived were caring and professional and couldn't apologise enough for having to wait 6hours for an ambulance
All the staff was so lovely and kind and very helpful
