Happy with care on Ward 9

September 29, 2023
I was admitted to ward 9, the staff have been great. The doctors have been excellent and a number of tests were carried out. I was kept well informed. I feel that no stone was left unturned and I feel very reassured that my recent illness is not related to my pre-existing medical condition which is a huge relief.

Good care on ward 19

September 28, 2023
I was sent to ward 19 from A&E for assessment. I spend the day on the ward before being admitted to another ward. The staff were very friendly and informative. I had a number of blood tests and it was decided that I would be admitted and transferred to another ward. I was very happy with the care I received.

I attended A&E upon the advice of my GP. The staff were quick to assess me and I was sent to an observation ward for further investigation and treatment.

Had to dig my heels in for answers

September 25, 2023
My child had spent a weekend in the hospital before being transferred to ward 17. After a number of blood tests they tried to discharge us and said that they would contact us with the latest blood results. I point blank refused. Communication had not been great while in and I told them that I was not leaving until they gave us clear answers. The consultant I spoke to was very understanding. After one final night we finally got the answers we sought, we were given good information and treatment was provided, together with a clear plan for ongoing assessment and treatment.

Excellent care on Ward 15

September 25, 2023
My daughter was admitted over the weekend and while care was very good no investigations could take place until Monday. Blood tests were taken but were lost and needed to be repeated which was frustrating. Staff were wonderful with my daughter, they were very kind and built good rapport with her and other children on the ward.

Children's A&E sent us to wrong department

September 25, 2023
I was advised by 111 to attend children's A&E and that they were informing them that we would be attending. When we arrived they told us that we needed to go to the badger clinic. I explained that 111 had told us that we needed to see a paediatrician and that they were contacting the hospital. Children's A&E said that was fine and that we could see one in the badger clinic. We then spent nearly 2 hours waiting in the badger clinic to be told that we could not see a paeditrician there and that we needed to go back to children's A&E. I explained what had happened and they accessed correspondence from 111. They told me that we should have been sent straight to ward 15 for assessment.

Staff morale impacts the environment

September 22, 2023
I am under the cardiac clinic at Heartlands Hospital. The care is good but my experiences at the hospital are not good. The levels of cleanliness at the hospital is not great. The staff seem completely demoralised, there are no friendly greetings, they look stressed out and unhappy. It is such a shame.
