Treatment sorted very quickly

August 25, 2023

Fine, diagnosis and treatment has been good. Treatment sorted very quickly for lung cancer. Had symptoms and scan at Sandwell and they didn’t pick up anything on scan but Good Hope had tumor removed in 2017 and were meant to do 6/12 monthly check up’s but during COVID it was delayed but they communicated via phone. They eventually called mom in for a routine scan at Good Hope. Which was around same time the scans were happening at Sandwell / Black country. Doctor at Good Hope said the scan looked suspicious, but doctor at Sandwell said it was scar tissue. Good hope looked into it and treated it really quickly. Cancer specialist nurse good. Communicate well and always at the other end of phone to answer any queries.

My 87 yr father has been in and out of good hope since his stroke in May 23, with many problems, despite the lack of nurses /drs, strikes, due to government screwing the NHS. We are v pleased, grateful how dedicated how hard ALL the staff genuinely work their socks off to save my dad's health, follow ups, care, etc. A&e, Cardiology, haematology, scans, follow ups... Compared to other hospitals Hands down I would choose Good Hope Hospital. Thank you

Moved services out of hospital

July 24, 2023

Moved services out of hospital because of wanting to be an centre of excellence but it doesn’t help when services get shipped to another part of city. It becomes barrier.

It's a good hospital. I had an operation on my ears just before covid but I've not heard from them since then. So I pay privately to see people about my hearing.

I had my kidney removed due to cancer. They weren't a particularly good service and felt the hospital overall could have been a lot better.
