So.. I had surgery on my arm to deal with a serious open wound.. I was sent home with no care plan at all and had a phone call telling me I’d missed an appointment for a follow up.. appointment was rearranged for me.. however I ended up having a serious swelling in my had before the appointment.. I went back to hospital and eventually saw someone from orthopaedics.. he didn’t examine the area at all and told me it was not compartment syndrome.. I went to a different hospital where I was seen immediately and was rushed to surgery for my compartment syndrome to save my arm..
This hospital has been a let down after let down..
This is just one of many bad experiences I’ve had with Blackpool Victoria Hospital..
Go to Preston instead

The worst experience I’ve ever had!!!!
I got completely brushed off! The dr I saw didn’t have a clue what I was on about, I ended up telling him what I thought was wrong with me (gallstones) he told me to go to my GP! Altho I’d been in agony on and off all day! He just said if it happened again come back…. I was so put off by my experience when it happened again I didn’t bother! I waited 2 hours in agony to be seen. I ended up going private for a ultrasound over the weekend and yes it is gallstones! ( he didn’t even take my bloods! Which I’ve been told should of been a minimum ) ! No wonder hospitals have such a long wait!!!! You end up only being seen when it’s too late and you’re practically dying! Complete joke. I live by myself and it’s not as easy as “just come back if it happens again” trapped gallstones can be very dangerous.

My late mother and my late wife received wonderful care at the Vic. My wife actually looked forward to getting chemotherapy because of the uplifting atmosphere and the caring attitude of the staff. I am firmly of the view that the latter is the most important aspect of a hospital visit. If the staff are caring everything else can be tolerated. My own experience has been equally positive - I have private insurance but I have never used it. That must say something.

I’ve had the misfortune having to attend A&E dept on a number of occasions once I was humiliated and laughed at and being told I was a serial attender by a not yet qualified doctor I attended as I could not raise my left arm I left very quickly my choice. I attended during the pandemic was referred by my gp the receptionist was informed I was sent via gp but ignored me and wrote self attended after waiting 8 hours on a plastic chair I watched older people cry needing to use the toilet patients helping them go to the toilet and a woman next to me said thinks she has had a stroke but 4 hours later still not seen the whole place was dirty with blood and fluids on the floors I was seen after a relative asked how long it would be as I was actually in a lot of pain pooing blood I had 2 canulas in both arms the dr I saw was nice I told him I wanted out of this place at that point I would rather have died at home he gave me strong antibiotics which the prescription couldn’t be filled due to no chemists open I removed the canulas myself a nurse came past he (started to remove them too) the room He was with a patient in a chair I told him I was leaving after 8 hours he replied yeah yeah very sarcastic disgusting treatment, third world country care degrading humiliating treatment as a human being shame on whoever is responsible for this mess

We were waiting a long time in a and e , understandable but the nurse working on there was just ignoring people , one gentleman wet himself because she wasnt listening or even talking to him . Also i went to path lab , with an appointment and was turned away , because the doctors name was on the form and it wasnt from the hospital I turned up on the right day right time with an appointment , so its not like anyone else could use it .

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
