Share review of Spire Manchester Hospital
Excellent care from all staff. It was a really good experience to be a patient in Spire. My experience of hospitalisation is very limited, so it is hard for me to make suggestions to improve things, in fact I think it would be hard to improve the patient experience at Spire.
The one area that I would criticise is the tension/compression stockings that I was provided with prior to discharge. After a few days at home I had to get someone to peel these off and discard them. I have spoken to other people who have had the same problem. In my case they felt as if they were stopping blood flow! I realise there are 3 sizes , but this is not sufficient. I suspect that hundreds of these must be discarded by patients, an awful waste of money and a risk to health. I just kept doing exercises. This criticism must apply across all hospitals. It is an NHS problem.
