Exceptional care and service at Breast Clinic

Cancer services
March 22, 2023
Received outstanding care at the breast clinic at Solihull Hospital. Was seen very quickly, the whole process was explained to me by the nursing team. I had a mammogram and scan and was seen by the consultant who was very informative and reassuring. I was given results by the consultant on the day who advised me that nothing looked sinister but as a precautionary measure a sample would be taken to confirm. I received these results quite quickly too.

Very good experience

Visits here are always very good. Wish they had an A&E department because Heartlands is awful.

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback about the Solihull Hospital. It is lovely to receive such positive feedback from our patients.

We are very pleased to inform you that in June 2023 the MIU will be opening again and in addition to this service there will also be a minor illnesses service which will be provided by a local primary care provider (GPs) and this collaboration will mean that the two services will be opened in June as the Solihull Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC).

The UTC will provide a much needed urgent care service – supporting with minor illnesses and injuries - for the residents of Solihull.

Kindest regards, Patient Experience Team

Urology - Waiting 9 months for an appointment

March 20, 2023
I had a scan back in June 2022 and I am still on the waiting list. I have no idea when I will be seen. I have been waiting for 9 months so far. I am living with the on-going worry and I feel desperate for answers.

Unprofessional staff

Staff at the endoscopy were very rude, I was sitting there waiting for almost an hour and no one ask me anything. Any time I tried to ask them a question, they say they are busy. It was very unpleasant environment.

The cancer service at Solihull hospital is sometimes inadequate, I get misinformation and I do not understand why I have to be sent to other hospitals for check-ups. I do not drive and in my condition, it is difficult for me to travel.

Appointment waiting time

Gynaecology
March 1, 2023
I went for my appointment, I arrived 30 minutes earlier and I waited for an hour before someone told me that I have to wait for another hour before I will be seen. I was not happy at all. In total I spent 3 and half hours just to be sent home and come back another time, in addition, I paid 5 pounds for the parking.

Surgery cancellation

Outpatients
March 1, 2023
I got a letter saying my elbow surgery has been cancelled and that I have to start another referral process to get another appointment in 3 months. It has been 2 years and it is impacting my daily life. Now my GP will take a while to start getting anything done. I can barely get face to face appointment.

Great care environment

Two years ago I had a knee replacement at the hospital and it went very well. All the hospital staff were amazing and they deserve all the good things such as a good pay and days off. There are very few staff in hospitals and it is difficult for the staff to take time off.
