UHB Solihull Hospital

The maternity department is well organised and the midwives are good. They explain things clearly. The doctors we've seen have been fine too and we've never had to wait long.

This was my first visit for a glucose test and they were good. I was seen quickly on arrival and then waited 2 hours for the results. The staff were friendly throughout my visit.

I came here for a growth scan and was seen in good time. They booked me an appointment for 3 weeks time to get another scan and see a consultant. They provide a very good service and I feel very confident in the care I am receiving.

They refused to take my blood and said I needed to get it done at my GP instead. This is despite my GP saying I needed to come to the hospital instead. Very disappointing.

I came here for a maternity appointment post birth. I saw a wonderful midwife who was very thorough and communicated well which was very reassuring. She was probably the best midwife we have seen.

My experience of the ophthalmology department at Solihull Hospital has been good. I have to attend every six months. Appointment reminders are sent by text and phone calls, which are very helpful. I am always seen on time and see the doctor as soon as I arrive. Everything has been very good and I have not experienced any issues.

My experience of ENT at Solihull Hospital has been great. I had plastic surgery, this was done as an outpatient and went very well. I have also had follow up appointments which have been great. The staff have been very warm, supportive and helpful throughout the procedure and follow on care.

I am very happy with the service and care received from the pain management team at Solihull Hospital.

My experience of the rheumatology department at Solihull Hospital has been poor. Communication is a real issue. I am unable to contact them and they never return calls when you leave a message. Care has had to be coordinated with my rheumatologist and my oncologist and communication between the departments has seemed poor. With one doctor telling me one thing and the other telling me another. There have been long delays for planned tests and procedures. I dread having anything to do with the rheumatology department.

I have had an number of blood tests and scans at Solihull Hospital as part of monitoring following my cancer treatment. It has been good but communication could be improved as results are given quite basically and a little more information would be useful and reassuring.
