UHB Solihull Hospital

My experience of Solihull Hospital has been very good. The diabetes and podiatry care has been great.

Everything is fine when visiting for blood tests. The staff are nice. Not sure why I needed a blood test before my operation though as everything should already be in my notes.

I was seen quickly and my blood test experience was good. Ten out of ten service.

My rheumatology appointment went well. Everything was really quick and I'm very happy with the care and treatment received from my consultant.

My regular oncology checkups every 6 months go well.

My outpatient appointment here was good. The staff were nice throughout my time there.

I usually have home visits for podiatry care but at my last home visit they wanted me to attend the hospital and see a doctor. My appointment went okay when it finally happened but I encountered problems getting the appointment and attending the hospital. The first appointment was cancelled by the department and then the second appointment was cancelled due to problems with hospital transport.

My experience of prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment at Solihull Hospital was very good. I cannot fault the team of staff who cared for and treated me. My condition is now managed with daily tablets and I have regular checks ups and blood tests to monitor my condition.

My experience of breast cancer treatment and care at Solihull Hospital was excellent. The staff were wonderful, kind and very supportive at a difficult time during diagnosis and treatment. I cannot fault the team.

My experience of Elmdon Ward was poor. Patients were shouting and balling in the middle of the night and disturbing the other patients on the ward. It was very hard to get any rest. It was a very difficult situation with some patients having dementia. They really should not be put on wards with non-dementia patients. It is unfair on those patients and also those of us who were getting disturbed at all hours of the night. The ward seemed very busy and understaffed. Patients did not get the care and attention they needed, including myself.
