UHB Solihull Hospital

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.

My experience of the blood testing department has been okay. I have been happy with the service provided.

My experience of chemotherapy treatment at Solihull Hospital has been very good. I had to attend every three weeks for treatment and the care I received was very good.

I have to attend Solihull Hospital for blood tests every 12 weeks as part of my oncology care. The service here is very good. I am always seen quickly.

My outpatient appointments prior to treatment commencing have been fine.

I have a hernia that they won't operate on. I'm not sure why this is the case as I'm on a lot of medication to manage it and would prefer the operation to sort it out long term. As long as they keep providing medication to control it though I suppose it's okay.

I came here for hand surgery and I'm happy with the care I received. The communication was good and I was given a number to call if things get worse.

I am happy with the care and treatment I received at my physio appointment. They were very thorough and caring during the appointment and I was then sent down to the UTC to be seen by a doctor.

I have had to attend the blood test department at Solihull Hospital on a few occasions recently. The service is very good and I was seen very quickly each time. This is a real improvement to previous visits last year when waiting times were very long, which was not convenient when you have to bring children with you.
