Had to dig my heels in for answers
September 25, 2023
My child had spent a weekend in the hospital before being transferred to ward 17. After a number of blood tests they tried to discharge us and said that they would contact us with the latest blood results. I point blank refused. Communication had not been great while in and I told them that I was not leaving until they gave us clear answers. The consultant I spoke to was very understanding. After one final night we finally got the answers we sought, we were given good information and treatment was provided, together with a clear plan for ongoing assessment and treatment.
Excellent care on Ward 15
September 25, 2023
My daughter was admitted over the weekend and while care was very good no investigations could take place until Monday. Blood tests were taken but were lost and needed to be repeated which was frustrating. Staff were wonderful with my daughter, they were very kind and built good rapport with her and other children on the ward.
Children's A&E sent us to wrong department
September 25, 2023
I was advised by 111 to attend children's A&E and that they were informing them that we would be attending. When we arrived they told us that we needed to go to the badger clinic. I explained that 111 had told us that we needed to see a paediatrician and that they were contacting the hospital. Children's A&E said that was fine and that we could see one in the badger clinic. We then spent nearly 2 hours waiting in the badger clinic to be told that we could not see a paeditrician there and that we needed to go back to children's A&E. I explained what had happened and they accessed correspondence from 111. They told me that we should have been sent straight to ward 15 for assessment.
Very good experience

I was admitted to hospital with spinal problems. I have been very happy with the care I received.
Staff morale impacts the environment
September 22, 2023
I am under the cardiac clinic at Heartlands Hospital. The care is good but my experiences at the hospital are not good. The levels of cleanliness at the hospital is not great. The staff seem completely demoralised, there are no friendly greetings, they look stressed out and unhappy. It is such a shame.
Very good treatment in blood clot unit
September 22, 2023
I was referred to walk in at Heartlands with a suspected blood clot. I was sent straight to the blood clot unit. My experience was very good, I experienced a panic attack and the staff were lovely.
Treated quickly in A&E department
September 22, 2023
I attended A&E after being attacked by a ferret. I was seen and treated quickly and was happy with the service and care I received.
A&E lacks facilities for those in severe pain
September 22, 2023
I attended A&E because I was experiencing extreme stomach pain. Trying to sit in a chair was horrendous and I had to lay on the floor for some time before a nurse put me in a booth where I could lay down.
Wonderful Staff
September 22, 2023
My husband was bought in my ambulance and was quickly assessed in A&E and taken in to resus. He had an abscess in his throat and they were concerned about his breathing. He was admitted and had an emergency operation. He spent time in ITU before being transferred to ward 5. He has been very unwell but he is now on the mend. He has been taken very good care of by the staff who I cannot fault at all. He is now undergoing physiotherapy to learn how to walk again. The staff have been a massive support to my husband and our family during a very difficult time.
Awful consultant appointment
September 12, 2023
I had follow up appointment with a consultant following a number of breaks to the same hand. When I saw the consultant they had not read my notes and I had to explain what was going on while they skimmed over them. I was told by the consultant that the physiotherapist had written that I had not been following the instructions. I was shocked by this I believed that I had good rapport with the physio and had been booked in to see them again in 2 weeks time. I had been working with them and following all the instructions I had been given. I left the appointment and went straight to the PALs desk but I was told that they were inundated and to date I have not heard from them.
