Chapel Allerton Hospital

Hi. I went to Chapel Allerton Hospital today. I had a Chest X-ray. There was such a lovely nurse in this department called Louise who was so warm and friendly and very caring to everyone, myself included. She was one in a million. I just wanted you to know and for her to get some recognition. Thank you.

Currently staying as an in patient on C2 for rehab after broken hip. I have never felt so isolated or ignored. I am using a cardboard box as a foot stool bcos they have no stools. No one interacts with me, at the end of a ward with the blue curtains pulled round me like a prisoner. I am an elderly lady recovering after a fall and was moved from the LGI ward 34 to here and I have deteriorated and been left alone with no support, no physio, no conversation, my knee has been swollen for a week and no one has listened to me til the doctor attended two days ago and told them I must have a foot rest - which was a cardboard box. The staff sleep in the laundry room taking in turns every night. I’m left in a chair for 11 hours at a time . I hope I am never sent here again

Went to day surgery for a tumer removed from my eye.couldnt believe in this day @age you were in such agony with injections.thought you should be put to sleep for this.didnt explain wat was happening.felt like a object on a convayer belt.no care at all.was tromatised with this afterwards.would never have had this done if I'd have known.most terrible experience of my life.

Today I went in for pretty major Knee ligament surgery. PCL, PLC and some other crazy code beginning with M. I was throughly looked after by every member of staff at the hospital. But predominately a nurse Called Karen in her 50’s a Bob cut and slim. Karen was very kind she was very efficient and she completely put my mind at ease. Her spirits remained high all day as did her standards.

Yesterday I had elective surgery on my ankle. From arriving at the hospital to leaving, the care, professionalism, communication and proficiency of staff was exemplary. Special thanks to Mr Bakhshayesh, Dave, Magda and many whose names I didn’t catch including the anaesthetist, staff nurse, student nurse and physiotherapist. I felt that I was treated as an individual with dignity, humour and kindness.

The staff are very helpful and kind. It is also very convenient for me.

Should I be unfortunate enough to require hospital treatment in the future I would hope it’s at this hospital

My experience with getting the dreadful word of skin cancer I was scared but the minute I saw the surgeon Mr Hussain he put my mind at rest the day of of the surgery was very daughting to me but I got there and the nurses were absolutely amazing and put my mind at rest the surgery went well and now discharge everything is fine so thanks to you all

I have had MRI scans before in different locations, this was the first at Chapel Allerton. I asked to be put on the cancellation list to speed up the scan and was called at 7.30am Monday 23rd to ask if I wanted to go in at 8.50am, which I did. I waited 5 minutes after completing my form and the two staff were so pleasant and friendly. I was in pain and concerned I would not be able to stay still but they reassured me and made me comfortable. I was told that the results would be with my doctor in 7-10 days. They has seen my history of bowel cancer 2 years ago , although the scan was in respect of sciatica. I was shocked that my GP rang me on Tuesday 24th with the result - so quick!!!and thankfully no sign of cancer but degeneration of the spine and discs, which I will hopefully get treatment for. Full marks for the team , I hope they see this review and know how grateful I was for their care

Had a THR at this hospital, on the 26th April 2022, I was taken care by the best staff one could hope for, if a large hospital such as Chapelallerton can be run by such great staff why is every NHS establishment not been done in the same manner. This is my second THR at the hospital, the previous having been carried out in 2010 again my experience was exceptional back then, I had been offered my recent THR at a local private establishment, I choose to support my NHS and will continue to do so nothing could be improved on elsewhere. Thanks to everyone
