I went into A and E with chest pains and was seen by lovely staff around 7.45am a dark haired receptionist a dark haired and blonde lady who assessed me where all lovely. I was then sent to the emergency day care a dark haired lady took my bloods she was brilliant and the blonde at reception. The lady doctor who came over with another lady where both lovely too. Everyone I saw was very caring. In the X-ray dept a lady I spoke to at desk was very busy but still very patient with everyone. A big thank you to all the staff who dealt with me you’re all wonderful.
I sat 3 hours in A&E triage the doctor had prescribed the antibiotics and the fluids to be given and the nurse forgot to give it to me so my temp was 40 degrees and one of them was really rude .Always speaking to her colleag why this guy is here send him home .Doctor come and he decided to keep me in and I was getting my medicine after 3 hours of waiting because the nurse forgot and she was questioning me why my oxygen is down ???As a result of this I am at the hospital where you have to wait 2 hours for a jug of water .Shoking I hope that someone hire up see that and is doing something.
Delay in treatment
my father is suffering from parkinsons and was admitted to tameside on the 16th of feb 2020 having spent a short time on the m a u he was transfered to ward 46 . i have never in my life seen such unacceptable treatment being left in urine and fecies for hours . not been washed properly his food was brought to his bed and then taken away again as he couldnt feed himself and medication being missed some of which are vital i hope and pray that he is returned home to his loving family .
Nothing but good service from start.
I had to wait 2 1/2 hour to be seen. Not even so much as an apology from Mr v buza. Poor service.. shame as rest of the staff are clearly trying their best.
i was admitted to tameside hospital as a result of a severe foot infection needing urgent surgical intervention needing 2 operations over a 7 day period and 3 months or more of antibiotic treatment and constant attention of the high risk foot team as a patient and outpatient .i spent a total of 4 weeks as a inpatient from start of may 2019 till june 2019 and 6 months outpatient visits with the high risk foot team .it was worth it as they saved my foot from amputation but i still have trouble with my ankle after getting osteo myalitus from an infection but im dealing with that as i write this review.all in all i was happy with my treatment and thank all involved with my stay and i would recommend this hospital to anyone

I have been a carer and advocate for my parents and several relatives at end of life in other hospitals, I have never experienced such shockingly poor and inadequate care.
I was admitted to A & E and the care I received there was exemplary, on transfer to the ward every single item of care failed. My notes were left out on a chair in public view for hours until my visitor retrieved them. My condition was not monitored as closely as it should have been or at all for some observations. Treatments were not explained or given in a timely manner. Important investigations were ignored until discharge.
Apparently 7 and a half hours is not long enough for Tameside to produce four routine prescription items for a patient to take home.
I could never recommend this Department/Ward to anyone. Their lackadaisical attitudes (which seem to be from management down) are a very severe threat to patient safety.
My 64 year old husband has stage 4 kidney cancer and was admitted via A&E suffering from the side effects of radiotherapy to brain metastasis. Immediately upon our arrival by car (our choice) the staff from the receptionist, paramedics, clinicians and nursing staff listened to our concerns, asked pertinent questions acting swiftly and compassionately at all times.
The A&E staff liased with our primary care team at The Christie and at all times supported both my husband, myself and our adult son, treating us all with care & compassion at this difficult time. Richard was transferred to the Medical Assessment Unit (MAU) where the standard of care & compassion continued. All staff members introduced themselves & their role to us and listened to our concerns. The following day R was transited to the Integrated Assessment Unit (IAU) which was much quieter and an MRI scan confirmed that the radiotherapy had caused swelling which would explain the symptoms of confusion and weakened motor control experienced. Once again the care & compassion shown by staff was universal to me, R and our son. The liaison with the team at The Christie continued and R was released the following day back into the care of The Christie. Discharge medication was dispensed on the ward and was ready and waiting very quickly after R was told he could go home. The ward pharmacist (probably not her title) came to explain the new regime and double check that we had everything we needed before we went home.
An emergency visit to a hospial can be a very scary & worrying time but the staff at TGH treated us all with care and compassion: Richard, me (his wife) and our young adult son.
