I have been treated by several local hospitals and have been very satisfied. My only gripe about North Tyneside was, several years ago, it took 5 weeks after diagnosis of a serious heart condition for the cardiologist's report to be typed up and propagated.
I enjoyed North Tyneside's meals. :)
I have found all the staff very polite and helpful.
I have attended a number of tines at the Hospital and all my appointments have been on time, which I feel is very important.
Due to no Parking being available my husband was not able to attend my appointment with me, this is not ideal as he has been with me during my treatment and it is better that he hears the Medical Staff discussing my case with me.
My nana was in this hospital for quite a while.
Some of the staff were great but not very efficient.
My nana was not treated with dignity or respect as she was left waiting 45 mins to go to the toilet. And as for the cleaning that was a joke coffee stains on the floor for over a week the stairs leading to the ward hadn't been done for over a fortnight.
The visiting was also disgraceful, you get one hour in the afternoon and one in the evening and during this time doctors and nurses interrupt your visiting to weigh and do the blood pressure, and to finish off the parking is a rip off £1.20 per hour plus 60p on top because you are with the patient for an hour but then you have to get back to the car and if you don't pay this it is a £70 pound fine so no i would not recommend this hospital to my worst enemy.
my stay in hospital was fine with no complaints.
Please note that all scores above should be 100% right from the administrative staff to the nurses and Anita the Dietitian. All concerned looked after me with respect and dignity.
I was more than happy with the care I received during my time at North Tyneside General Hospital. The ward staff on Ward 7, pharmacy staff, theatre staff, Anita the bariatric dietician and the lovely Ann in the cashiers office have been both professional, caring and their support has been invaluable! The only downside was that I was in a side room and it did get a tad boring - the hospital pay as you view TV is extortionately expensive! Thatnk heavens I took my laptop and a good book in with me!
I had a good experiance today at this hospital
the main letdown of this hospital is the food. it is all brought in frozen and reheated in trolleys. the soups are powdered and reconstituted. it is horrible, dry, over/under cooked. there is not much choice for special dietary requirements and generally it is poor quality.
Ward was clean, staff were very good, if not looking slightly understaffed, but in all, it was all good
