Quite happy with my treatment but looking forward to going home.
We arrived at 02:50am with my 7 year old who was having some breathing problems. The receptionist told me to take a seat. My daughter was sick in the sick bowl in waiting room. Still told to take a seat. Was seen around 5am by Triage nurse. Triage nurse was friendly and nice to be fair. Then told have to wait to see a doctor. At 07:50am the matron came out to the waiting room and stated it would be at least another 6 hours before anyone saw a doctor and so advised seeking support elsewhere. There was used cups, plasters etc around waiting room. So after 5hrs of waiting we were told to seek help elsewhere.
Exexceptional care from start to finnish
I came in on Saturday afternoon and was sent to the fracture clinic and was seen straight away. I then had xrays and was seen again to review them. Dr Patil and the nurse with him in clinic was very helpful and I was in and out within an hour. The service was alot more efficient than I expected. Thanks again.
I have large cell artiritus and any change in my eyesight has to be reported immediately to A and E as an emergency to avoid blindness. My Dr sent me there for immediate attention. My GP said I must tell A and E about this which did and said there is an on call ophthalmic doctor on call who would see me straight away. Six days before I had had a total hip replacement so my. Husband wheeled me in on an hospital wheelchair. The staff would not let him stay. I sat there for three and a half hours before anyone came any where near me. I could not wheel myself to get help. By then I was in extreme pain with my hip apart from my anxiety about my eye. Eventually the consultant in A and E got me an appointment in the eye clinic. In all I spent 5 hours sitting in a hospital wheelchair. No one seemed to have any knowledge of large cell artiritus or cared in spite of the fact I explained it clearly as my GP had asked me to. I was made to feel guilty for wasting their time. The condition is rare affecting 5 people in one hundred thousand. They neither knew nor cared. Extremely worried about using this service again. Desgraceful
All of the staff were friendly and polite and made us feel reassured that our son was okay.
Wonderful, compassionate staff who went out of their way to understand my illness and inform me of the steps they were taking to fix it.
As my son has a VP Shunt due to having hydrocephalus he is expected to be seen quickly due to how dangerous it can be to leave him waiting in a&e waiting room!
We arrived at around 3pm and wasn’t seen by an actually doctor till 10pm! Who commented on how terrible a&e was to us to leave us for that long!
The waiting time was ridiculous, it was 6 hours wait and 2 hours standing in line outside.
The nurse we saw was very kind to my little girl and put her at ease .
