Excellent care from cancer service
March 19, 2024
I cannot fault the care provided by the cancer services department. I have visited for chemotherapy tablet and immunotherapy and every time the staff and doctors have been brilliant.
Long wait time for urgent appointment
March 19, 2024
I have been waiting for over 6 months to see an urgent consultant in gynecology.
Told there was nothing that could be done
March 19, 2024
I visited Heartlands Hospital 6 months ago to see a respiratory consultant about a condition which is restricting my breathing. I was told there was nothing that could be done and I have not been able to get a face to face appointment since. I have been offered phone appointments but I feel that I need to see someone in person due to the severity of this condition.
Doctors and nurses are great
March 19, 2024
I recently attended a number of appointments here as part of an ongoing prostate cancer investigation. I am very happy with this service, the doctors and nurses have been great.
Discharged against my will
March 12, 2024
I went to see a consultant for an enlarged, painful vein. I was told that there was no funding for the operation unless it became ulcerated and was then discharged against my will.
Good standard of care
March 12, 2024
I visit for injections every 10 months. Care from this service has always been good and I get free parking with my blue badge.
Excellent service from the diabetes clinic
March 8, 2024
I attend the Diabetes Clinic at Heartlands Hospital on a regular basis. My experience has been very good. The staff are great and they provide a good service, an outstanding level of care, and useful information and advice.
Given worrying news by sonographer
March 8, 2024
I had a heart scan at the Heartlands Hospital and the sonographer told me that my main artery looked swollen. I was told this unofficially and quite casually and it has caused me a great deal of anxiety and distress while I wait for my 'official' results from my GP. I am not happy that this was disclosed at the appointment without any further information or advice being given.
24 hours of back & forth between departments
March 8, 2024
My experience was very poor. I was brought in by ambulance to A&E. After a lengthy wait A&E referred me to the Badger department. Following another long wait I was given a letter and told to go to Ward 20 for assessment. Ward 20 was very busy but I did have a number of tests done. I was then sent to another ward because ward 20 was closing. I had none of my medication with me and it was a battle with the staff for my diabetes medication to be supplied to me. The whole experience was stressful and very frustrating.
Communication and language barriers
March 7, 2024
I was sent to the assessment unit at Heartlands hospital by my GP, due to concerns about my kidney function. The care was good but I experienced communication difficulties with the doctor. I have nothing but respect for the doctors and nurses working for the NHS but when you struggle to understand the doctor who is trying to explain what tests are going to happen and what your diagnosis and treatment plan is you need to be able to understand them and they need to be able to understand you. The doctors spoken English was very poor and I did not feel that they understood me either.
