Long waiting times/understaffed

August 11, 2023
I have attended the new maternity unit at Heartlands. The facilities are nice and its clean and bright. The waiting times were very long due to staffing numbers that day.

My last visit to the A&E department was awful. I was left waiting for hours. No consideration is given to your age the symptoms you are experiencing.

Great treatment but awful experience waiting

August 4, 2023
I spent over 15 hours sitting in a hard chair in A&E, the wait was awful. When I finally had an x-ray and saw a doctor I was diagnosed with a two broken collar bones and broken ribs. The doctors and nurses were fantastic but the wait was excruciating, and I was in extreme pain in an environment that was not very nice.

Outstanding care for end of life patient

August 4, 2023
My mum was admitted a few days before she passed away. She was treated very well during that time and I was very happy with the care she received. The family, and my mum, were all treated with kindness and compassion at a very difficult time.

8 hour wait when needed immediate treatment

August 4, 2023
My experience in A&E was horrendous. I waited over 8 hours to be seen and treated. I was told that I should have been treated immediately and put on oxygen straight away.

Excellent Care On Ward 21

August 3, 2023
I was admitted onto ward 21 for 2 nights. I cannot fault anything from consultants to nursing staff they were all very good. I did not feel judged about my lifestyle but found staff helpful and supportive, who made suggestions and recommendations about my follow on care to improve my health. Necessary referrals were made by the staff on the ward. Upon discharge I was provided with a taxi home, which was paid for, because the discharge lounge was busy and the wait for hospital transport would be very long.

Good experience I was seen quite quickly

August 3, 2023
I was treated in the emergency day centre by a junior doctor who was very generous with her time. I was thoroughly examined and told that I would admitted once a bed became available. The nurses were all very good. I was well looked after and given a hot drink, a sandwich, and biscuits because the vending machines were not working. I was expecting a much longer wait but in total it took 6 hours from arrival to being admitted on a ward.
