I have been admitted to the QE twice July 2022 & Mar 2024, under both Mr Kalkat and Mr Almond. Both teams have handled my care with kindness, patience and professionalism.
I had no choice of hospital at the time, but it soon became very clear that I was in the best place.
Additionally the staff on wards 727 and 513 were amazing, despite the huge pressures put on them, I always felt cared for.
Previously mentioned regard admission.
Appointments came through quickly, seen quite quickly and looked after well. All staff in the hospital are friendly and approachable. The environment is always very clean.

It’s a long time ago since I had my life saving surgery at the QE Birmingham, I was an in patient there for three weeks, having been at another hospital where my aneurysm was not diagnosed.
I found the care I received at the QE was excellent , very caring and the meticulous operation which could have cured or killed me, went exceptionally well .
I was glad to have a single room with an en suite shower room which made my stay much more pleasant , being peaceful . I would recommend it .
Amazing attention to detail you are the focus all of the time
All the team that delt with me treated me with dignity and respect, I can't praise them enough
I have been an inpatient on a number of occasions where my stay was fairly welcoming. and my mobility disabilities were usually noted and access enabled. eg: I was provided with a specialist type of bed to accommodate the potential for the risk of pressure palsies.
I have attended this hospital as an outpatient two or three times a year for the last 15 years and have always appreciated the provision of facilities for disabled persons especially the availability of Disabled toilet facilities.
I would however add that given the very large number of Older Persons and Disabled Service Users and young parents with children who attend as Outpatients, I feel more attention should be given to providing adequate Disabled/ reserved parking facilities and those facilities that exist should be extended so that there isn't such a long and sloped pathway from the Main Outpatients Entrance to the Carparks, ie: in the examples of self-propelled wheelchairs, older Persons pushing their partners/relatives wheelchairs/ carrying hospital stay luggage/mothers/ fathers carrying babies toddlers whilst pushing prams etc etc.
Queen Elizabeth is Clean, Modern, and the Staff were very kind and considerate
Visited hospital colonoscopy appointment @3pm. Had to wait for something happened with another patient, saw doctor and nurse it was explained to me what was happening,
the doctor tried to put a canula in my right hand I asked him not to because my veins are not good on my hand but he did it anyway and it failed, leaving me with big bruise. He then put canula in my right arm ready for my sedation which I requested to have before coming. The next thing I know I am screaming with pain they tried to give me gas and air which was unsuccessful, the procedure had finished, and I was told they could not do because of poor prep pan colonic. he informed me I have a polyp and said he could not Finnish because of poor prep. I asked if I had done something wrong I was told NO it was down to movi prep not working and I would have to come back for another appointment. I was taken out of room put in to bed and was told I had to stay there because I was sedated and could not leave, which was untrue because I didi not feel I had been sedated.The medication they gave me was 3mg midazolam, 75 mcg fentanyl, and entonox, i certainly did not feel sedated. I have to go back at some point and I dont want this to happen again it was very traumatic
