October 11, 2023
I have been attending weekly appointments for the past few months for blood tests related to blood clotting issues. The appointments have been going well.

Long waiting times for appointments

October 11, 2023
I have attended a number of appointments due to experiencing seizures, I have been generally happy with the care but they could improve waiting times, as it can become very frustrating waiting a long time past your appointment time.

Poor aftercare & rehabilitation

October 9, 2023
The aftercare and rehabilitation following an operation was not good. It was clear that bed blocking was taking place too.

Backlog of patients for urgent cancer care

October 9, 2023
I was referred on the urgent cancer pathway but a huge backlog meant that I was not seen within the two week time scale you are supposed to be seen within. The long wait led to serious mental distress and I felt that I had no alternative but to seek private medical care.

Excellent care on ward 26

October 6, 2023
Excellent service from the staff and doctors on Ward 26. Excellent continuity of care with excellent follow up appointments and good communication in person and via letter. All follow up appointments were prompt. Staff were great and very informative. The sepsis helpline has been great and we have received excellent service all round.

Long time in A&E but excellent care

October 6, 2023
We spent 27 hours in the A&E department, which we expected, but we cannot fault the level of care received.

Good but miscommunication is a problem

October 3, 2023
My appointments generally go well and the staff are lovely. The biggest problem is miscommunication. I have had phone calls to remind me and confirm appointments that I have not received letters about. I have had other letters telling me that an appointment is face to face to then be contacted by the consultant and told off for missing a face to face appointment when I was expecting a telephone call. There are definitely administrative errors and problems with their postal services.

Maternity care was outstanding

September 29, 2023
I recent had a baby at Heartlands maternity department. The care I received throughout my pregnancy was excellent. I felt listened to and that my concerns were heard and addressed. The staff were all wonderful. I had my baby by a planned c-section. It went very well and I felt well cared for through the birth and during my recovery.
