UHB Solihull Hospital

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.

Went to A&E when with a cut off finger.
The security guard at the Solihull hospital was patronising and told me to leave as there are no A&E.
When I showed the security my finger that had cut off that is when he called and got help.

My wife had to take me to Queen Elizabth Hospital which had a long waiting time of 9 hours.

Need an A&E in Solihull urgently.
Heartlands is no good at all.

I was referred by the GP to the bone specialist because of pain which I was experiencing in my leg and wrist.
It took 1.5 years just to be referred by the Dr and then it took a further 2 years to see the specialist at the hospital.
On seeing the specialist, they surgeon advised that i required an operation.
They provided follow up appointments after the operation took place and provide good after care service.
I have rated them 4 stars because of the positive experience with the operation and care received was appointment was received.

I had what is called Intravitreal injection better know as eye injections into the eyes. I went on the 16th October for injection into both left and right eyes with a surgeon either [Dr name] or a member of his team. The agonising discomfort I received when the surgeon injected into my left eye was more a stabbing injection instead of a routine gentle approach. This has caused me poor anxiety feelings and extremely nervous about any other next appointments I may have in the near future. I have had over 31 injections into my eyes and this is the worse I have ever had to endure. I have made a complaint to the UHB who own the Solihull Hospital about the surgeons behaviour and lack of communication with the operation on my eyes. I just wanted to acknowledge my experience I have just had and hope this painful episode doesn't happen again to other patients.

During my wifes pregnancy the hospital was sending us for scans to Solihull hospital which is far to get to if you live on the other side.
There were times when we couldn't make the appointments for the scans as the hospital sent the appointments last minute and with a day difference.
It was difficult trying to keep up with the appointments for scans especially when the appointments were very close to the appointment dates.
Her scans were being rushed as she got closer to her due dates which was worrying and impacting my wifes health.

I was at the hospital last month for my knee operation, it went really well. I able to start moving around pretty quick.

Not happy with the whole system. No after care.
