Awful waiting times in A&E

February 23, 2024
My experience of the A&E department at Heartlands Hospital was awful. Waiting times were extremely long, and the staff were not very friendly or helpful. This may be due to how busy they were but a little kindness goes a long way and my experience could have been much much better.

Okay but parking is stressful

February 21, 2024
My appointments with maternity have gone okay though there can be a bit of a wait. I am not local to this hospital so it is difficult to get to as parking here can be a nightmare.

Lack of communication between staff

February 20, 2024
I visited Heartlands for a C-section and the lack of staffing meant that I was waiting a long time for pain medication and dressing. There seemed to be a lack of communication between staff which led to a lot of confusion.
