UHB Solihull Hospital

Referred by the podiatry department to Solihull for problems with swallowing after coming out of coma.
Used to get phone calls when I had any queries or questions.
They phoned also to do welfare checks.
The staff were ok, my brother and son use to walk to them.
They were helpful and said if there was a problem, I could contact them.

Dr referred me end of January. I waited 8 months.
Went to see consultant in the Osteoporosis department.
Suppose to have a keyhole which was caused severe arthritis.
Went to see about the Cartridge during one appointment.
I was then advised to come back in 6 months time.
They checked my other knee whilst I was at the appointment for the one knee.
All the staff was nice, and the only wait was in the x-ray department.
The communication was great from the department.

In 2017 went through a procedure as I had problem urinating. The GP at Pearl Medical Centre had referred me to Solihull Hospital.
I had spent a night in the hospital and the procedure was successful.

Taken into the minor unit this year.
Was not happy their as I had to wait 6-7 hours.
Had to sit there for 7 hours. In between I was taken through to get blood tests and heart monitored.
I was advised to wait in the waiting area again after.

I had to ask how long I was going to be there.
They were helpful and provided approximate time.
I was seen and had various tests done where I was advised nothing was wrong.
The consultant didn't mention what the cause was. they said "might be due to stress"
Could tell consultants were rushed off their feet. They did their best.
They talked through the process.

Excellent service. Appointment reasonably on time.
Long wait for results.
I have been referred to Queen Eizabeth for further appointments.

The hospital is very good. Couldn't fault them.
Investigation for my health is ongoing.

I had a turn there. I was resuscitated 3 times and they sent me home the next day. There was no paperwork for what had happened

More local to me and feels more secure. They were really good, really really good.

Brilliant – they’re absolutely fabulous. They’ve been really helpful.

I had pellet in my eyes as I have age macular degeneration.
I was supposed to have new pellets every 4 months.
Not had a visit since August.
The department never phone with the next appointment until I call.
Next appointment has been provided but that is only because i chased them.
I am worried I am going to lose my eyesight.

Ophthalmologist when you see them are good but it is the secretaries.
They say they have not got any appointments when you ring them.

The eye clinic liaison officer for the department Gerladine is brilliant and has been helpful in the past.
