Can\'t fault the care I received

November 8, 2024
I went in for a chest X-ray and ended up being kept in on oxygen. I can't fault the care I received.

Follow up appointments have gone okay

November 8, 2024
I have been visiting this hospital for appointments after my recent spinal surgery and they have gone okay. I was not waiting long and I was able to arrange another appointment for 8 weeks later.

Hooked up to oxygen and left for 3 days

November 6, 2024
I had a bad experience here as an inpatient where I was hooked up to oxygen and just left for 3 days. The care was appalling, the paramedics that brought me in did more for me than they did.

Admitted for seven weeks

October 31, 2024
I was admitted to Heartlands Hospital for seven weeks. I was very unwell and was finally diagnosed with gall stones. An operation was scheduled but was cancelled a number of times due to junior doctors strikes. Care in the hospital was good.

No wheelchairs for patients

October 28, 2024
Appointments have gone very well here, I have been happy with the care. Directions could be made clearer on signs as the hospital is very big. Getting around is difficult walking with my sticks but I did manage just had to take it very slowly.

Ward 6 staff unable to uphold patient dignity

September 30, 2024
The level of care received on ward 6 at Heartlands Hospital was awful. There was a clear staffing problem. When I needed the toilet I was told there was no one to take me, and I was told to soil myself and that someone would 'clean me up'. I found this completely undignified. I had to rely on my family during visiting times to help care for me. My experience on this ward was appalling.
