12 hour wait to be seen in A&E

March 7, 2024
I had a 12 hour wait to be seen in the A&E department. I was brought in by ambulance and spent a good few hours sitting in that before I even made it into to the department. I was as happy with the care as I could be given the amount of/lack of staff working. The department was absolutely filthy, years ago hospitals were spotlessly clean its a disgrace.

Poor communication

My autistic daughter had to attend the hospital. She was kept waiting in a room with no explanation at all. It was not a good experience.

Good care but inconclusive results

March 7, 2024
I attended Heartlands Hospital for skin cancer tests. The staff were wonderful and took great care of me during my appointment. Unfortunately the results were inconclusive and I had to be booked in for a biopsy at another hospital.

An awful experience due to long wait

March 6, 2024
I was the victim of a violent assault and was taken to Heartlands Hospital's A&E department. I had suffered a head injury but spent over 4 hours waiting to be seen. I was happy with the care once I was seen and a number of tests were carried out. The wait on a busy Saturday night after the trauma of my attack was horrible.

I was admitted to Heartlands Hospital for 6 weeks and was treated for problems with my arm and shoulder. The service and care I received was quite good. I had no complaints.

Outstanding end of life care

February 29, 2024
My brother recently received end of life care at Heartlands Hospital, and sadly passed away. He was very well cared for and the staff were wonderful. They communicated well with us and our family were well supported and cared for by the staff during a very difficult time.

Long wait but very good treatment

February 29, 2024
I recently had a suspected heart attack. I spent over 23 hours in the A&E department, but the care and treatment was very good. Lots of tests were carried out and they found a blockage. I was admitted for further treatment. Overall I was satisfied with the service.

No Red Card Priority in A&E

February 29, 2024
My experience was awful I waited over 7 hours to be seen, and was left in the general waiting area despite being a cancer patient and having a red card for emergencies. The staff took no notice of the red card and I was not examined or treated as a priority.
