I had a dental abscess which burst and shortly after I felt very unwell. I called 111 and was called by a duty doctor who told me to go to A&E, I arrived at 8pm, it was busy but I was seen quickly and put on a drip and given IV antibiotics, the doctor explained this was necessary as the infection had spread. The care I received was very good. This includes the care from the triage nurse, phlebotomist and the doctor and nurse who sorted my drip and antibiotics. I am very grateful to the staff who treated me last night.
No follow up care at all!
overall i am pleasantly pleased with my birthing experience even if it was upsetting having to have an emergency c-section with a GA. but the team were very reassuring and my aftercare was professional, friendly and really informative.
great job everyone! thank you so much!

Some of the care I received was amazing, some was adequate and some was nothing short of appalling.
On the whole most midwives were excellent but there are huge gaps in communication and a lot of repitition where it is clear notes have not been read or handovers not properly completed. There is also an astonishing lack of resources and equipment which delays or prevents treatment. This is unacceotable. By way of example my induction was delayed due to lack of CTG machines and my drip was delayed because a drip stand could not be sourced.
Everything seems to grind to a halt an hour before any changeover of staff which also causes delays.
I feel extremely lucky to be leaving with a healthy baby but the experience of the induction, labour, birth and post natal care have left me with a very bad taste in my mouth, which is a shame as there are some incredible staff at YDH.
staff were lovely. everyone really friendly and kind.
excellent care provided throughout the induction, delivery and post natal. can not fault the attentive nature of all members of staff.
lovely staff even when at extremely high demand
We were delighted with the support we had during the labour in the meadow suite with our midwife.
