Left in a terrible state

June 5, 2024
My mum had a fall and we took her to Heartlands for treatment. The care was not good, she was left in a terrible state for a long time. When I took her home she had still not been cleaned up beforehand.

Very good breast cancer care

June 5, 2024
I visited this hospital as part of my breast cancer treatment. The staff were lovely and the care I received from the nurses was very good. I would have preferred to receive all of my treatment at one hospital but was sent to multiple throughout the treatment process.

Had to sit on the floor in dirty A&E

June 4, 2024
I had to sit on the floor throughout the 6 hour wait I had in A&E. The department itself is awful and visibly dirty. The care was okay but the overall experience was shocking.

No follow on care after discharge

June 4, 2024
My experience being discharged from this hospital after a stay relating to my heart condition was very poor. I was just sent on my way with no follow up or after care. I had to chase my GP for advice and even they wondered why I hadn't received any follow up.

11 hour wait in A&E

June 3, 2024
My husband was taken to A&E with worrying symptoms. we were taken by ambulance and spent 7 hours waiting in the ambulance and a further 4 hours inside the hospital. He was very upset as I was unable to go to the toilet this whole time so we ended up going home. He has had multiple visits to A&E and each one has made him worse so he refuses to go again.
