"Maternity care was good"

The care was good there but I had my other kids elsewhere and wanted to go there instead.

"Cancelled my referral"

They cancelled my referral because my bloods weren't up to date. You wait so long that obviously the bloods will be out of date and then you have to start the whole referral process again.

"They were nice"

I went to A&E as my blood pressure fell. They were wondering why I was at the hospital and that the GP should see me. They were so nice about it.

"Very poor service A&E"

Waiting times shown on the screens for accident & emergency are misleading. They are only showing the triage times are not actual wait times for treatment. We waited nearly 2 hours for a blood test only to be told to come back to see a surgeon when patient’s names are called out there was no use of tannoy system so people could not hear what we shouted and normally took more than one person to do this. Come on this is the hospital to replace Sandwell Hospital and City Hospital. Very poor poor.

"Didn't take my condition seriously"

Admitted with severe pain and I was told I was meant to be going to rheumatology who dismissed the referral because it was fibromyalgia and they didn't take that condition seriously enough.

"It's frustrating"

Been here since last Friday. Communication could be better between the departments. There has been a lot of contradictions. What one says should happen another says differently. It's frustrating.

"A 3 hour wait for the process"

I was at x-ray for radioactive dye put into my bloodstream to have a brain scan. We had a 3 hour wait. It wasn't well signposted to the carpark. Not enough disabled parking. Volunteers are good and the restaurant too. Good value for money.

"Mom is being treated very well"

Mom is in here as her left leg isn't working. Think it's something to do with her spinal cord. She is being treated very well.

"Sent home"

Came into maternity at 3am, they checked my wife and said she wasn't ready to give birth and they only gave 1 paracetamol and was sent home. Arrived at 5am home and then wife was in a lot of pain so came back. She slept in the waiting room and so they said to go home. We arrived home at 8:30am and at 9:30am my wife had the baby at home.

"Cared for him well"

Spent all night in A&E and then moved to a ward. They cared for him well though. Spent a long time in A&E, like there wasn't a bed on a ward or something.

"Good care but poor communication"

Very confusing finding your way around the different wards. Mom was on A7 trauma ward then moved to B8. Can't fault the care on A7 or the staff. There was a lack of communication about my Mom's care and ongoing issues. She also waited for 40 minutes to go to the toilet as they couldn't get her a bedpan.

"The care was good"

Fine, the care she had was good. It's a trek to get around especially with having to go up to 5th floor to then go back down. They have volunteers signposting and showing you the way.

"Little notice given"

The hospital gave me an appointment for my operation with very little notice. I had prior engagements and so could not attend and had to cancel. Which meant I had to go to the back of the appointment line.

I had a really good experience with cancer services. They nursed me through very quickly. I was grieving for my husband and I had support from the consultant. Within 2 weeks of being diagnosed I was having an operation.

"The labour and maternity ward is okay"

Maternity ward has been okay. There needs to be clearer information and communication on things like induction and there should be consistency. Also the wards are confusing you don't always know where to go. Maternity is the purple path and then it's yellow for labour wards. I am told to go to one place and then end up at another. No signage for triage and then told to go to floor three and got to the wrong place. The labour part was otherwise very caring and midwives are so supportive which goes a long way.

"The service is okay"

Sometimes some nurses on the stroke ward do not allow us to stay with him during the night time and because there is a language barrier the nurses don't cooperate with my father in law. The service is okay and they're helpful. The nurses are doing their best but we want someone to stay with him.

"The care was good"

My son was in here after breaking his leg and had to have surgery. He was here for 5 days. The care is good, I can't fault it. When he went to theatre they asked him to swivel and move beds but I had to tell them he couldn't because he had a broken leg. It can be hard to navigate. Even people working the around the hospital get lost.

"The hospital is challenging"

Challenging. Signage and floor layouts are confusing. Audio in lifts isn't available so I didn't know what floor I was on as I have a visual impairment. The volunteers are a positive though, they go above and beyond. They have good training. A staff member told me where the department I wanted was. Why do I need to go to floor 5 for reception.

"Great staff"

I was still trying to find my way around. I was sent for a special scan from the hospitals I use elsewhere as they don't scan anywhere else. Communication is very good. The size of the hospital intimidates me but the people have been great.

"I was readmitted"

I was readmitted after discharge as I wasn't well and the police weren't happy with how I looked and how I had been treated. They gave me Oramorph and the nurse seemed annoyed that I had asked her to put patches on my back for pain too. I then waited for hours and hours to be seen by the homeless team. They gave me a food hamper, booked me a taxi and sorted me some accommodation within the hour. They lost my triage paperwork too. No help from the staff there.

"Not well organised"

Not well organised and need lots of views to injuries. I don't want 10 people looking at me in excruciating pain and their just bothered about seeing it. My discharge was delayed and it had the wrong name on it. I had to return to get pain medication too. No follow up either.

"Faultless care but poor signage and design"

The appointment was very good and very nice. The letter is very clear from them. I received a reminder by text. the medical staff are excellent. Getting to the place I need to is a bit bewildering The way you have to get to one floor before you go to another. The garden is lovely. It's annoying how you have to get different lifts to certain places. All the corridors look alike and signage could be a lot clearer. The sign for the reception is behind double doors. The care is brilliant though. You cannot fault the care.

"They do all they can for me"

C3 did what they could. Really good. It's been brilliant. I have been in 4 times over the last few months for reoccurring infections due to COPD. They do all they can but can't stop the infections coming back. the follow up and aftercare is also very good.

"A terrible inpatient stay"

Terrible. I'm not getting medication and having to fight for epilepsy tablets as they haven't got any. Not been given any pain relief and they don't have any on IV. It's difficult to get around. I was an inpatient for a week and three days I had no food and by the time I was allowed to eat the places were closed. The nurses are nice. The management needs to be accountable. The food is horrible, the car parking is dark when paying.

"A 17 hour wait at A&E"

Waited 17 hours at A&E for a bed. We came in for constant vomiting. They moved them into a bay and then a ward. There was no communication and didn't know what to expect. Didn't understand what they were saying. Different people get treated differently. It's a two tiered system.

"Avoid at all costs"

If I could give lower than 1 star I would. 10 hours and still waiting to be seen?! The worst A&E experience I’ve ever had in my life, nobody seems to communicate with each other or actually know what’s going on, the room I went to take my blood test in had blood over the floor and the bed messed up, sick in the toilet sinks and the first set of receptionists were so rude. Honestly if you can avoid this place at all costs you’ll probably just get sicker with the fact you have to wait half a day to be seen.

"Long time in A&E - needs not met"

Dad ended up in A&E at 6pm in the evening and didn't get home until 5am. They didn't treat him the greatest, they took so long. The attention wasn't there for his needs to be met, they even knew about his thyroid and diabetes and that the GP had said they were at high levels.

"Had to wait twice, some symptoms missed"

Didn't do anything about the fact my vision has gone, just dealt with the nosebleeds. Discharged me and then as we were leaving they had to call me as my eyesight started to go again, so I ended up having to wait all over again. If they had took all my symptoms into consideration in the first place, that would have saved me the second wait.

"Staff are bullies & do not provide good care"

Bad experience again, nurse and Dr at hospital bully mum and not helpful, bad rude doctors and nurses at the hospital. I have said the hospital are not helpful, they are not listening to us and not caring for mum. They hide things from us and do not tell us anything. And the Dr at the hospital are not listening to us, bad, rude nurses, Drs and manager in charge unit hospital. They are not providing good care to mum at the hospital, that's why we discharged her due to the bad experience. The doctors and nurses are bullies and troublemaker. I want them staff removed and for them to apologise to my mum. Do not let these people do this anymore.

"Ignored my disability refused to treat me"

They ignored the fact I cannot be sat upright or standing for more than 5-10 mins without excruciating pain and said
“We are busy it’s sitting in the waiting room for hours or nothing…" I explained I can only lay down but really need to be seen as it’s painful but they just said no we don’t have the bed we are busy. I explained I am registered as disabled they can check they didn’t care and refused to make any arrangements at all

"I was admitted for a Hysterectomy"

I had a hysterectomy via keyhole surgery. The service was excellent and top tier. I was so impressed with the care and support received throughout my stay. The staff was committed to give attention and love to me. I had my own room with ensuite to recuperate. This was BETTER than private care.

I went to the hospital at 3:30pm with high blood pressure, heartbeat and dizziness. I was assessed at 9pm. They arranged bloods to be taken.

"Too long a wait so we left"

I was seen quickly by the A&E nurse and given a wristband. I was sent around the corner and it was like the whole of Birmingham was in there at 11:30am. Lots of mental health patients. The lady calling out names didn't speak English as a first language so people kept asking who had been called. I went to the toilet and thought I heard the name being called so I asked the nurse and she said just wait and they will call again. We needed up leaving at 5:30pm without being seen for a head injury. It's not place for patients with mental health either A&E.

"Accommodating for my daughter"

We went to A&E after my daughter who had ADHD and autism swallowed a blade. A&E was overcrowded and I explained my daughters situation. They let us in and she was x-rayed within 45 minutes. They didn't send us back to the A&E waiting area. They let us stay in a more quiet space which helped her a lot to sleep. She was very calm. We had to then wait 6 and a half hours to see a doctor. They then finally told us to return the next day. They assessed her again and they told us to go back home. She finally passed the blade with minimal injury and harm. If they had seen her earlier they could have probably removed it with an endoscopy.

"My elderly mother was taken in via Paramedics"

The staff & medical care was good however the design of it was a headache. Also not suitable for disabled as my Mother is. No disabled wheelchairs, no suitable chair in discharge lounge. Also no 24hr discharge dept, it closes at 7pm. Transport home arrangements dismal & unreliable. Also the single ensuite room seem fine till you are stuck in one for 3/4 days with no radio, or tv access. Really not suitable for everyone; especially elderly as the company on an open ward preferable. I think not a lot of thought has gone into the detail. Lacking equipment for elderly with limited mobility, they didn't even have a Gutter Zimmer Frame for my Mother to use for an assessment. Take everything with you if you end up there. The medical care & all staff very good, let down by the building & lack of common sense i.e. equipment & discharge transport.

Not enough medically trained personnel. No urgency to treat very poorly people. No care, no expertise, no confidence. The buildings are inaccessible. Urgent care is outside on the roof, nay as well have been outside in the street. No access to water/drinks/food. Toilets filthy.

Went A&E with compliments from infected perianal abscess. Was seen straight away and sent to SDECU all in was treated, bloods taken obs, medication and home after 4/5 hours. Treated well. The new hospital is lovely and I'm sure more signage and digital mapping will be introduced to make it easier to navigate. I wish they would open the roof gardens. Seems pointless otherwise.

This place is ludicrous. Navigating this place is a joke. Ward placings are pathetic. Car park signage is next to none. A&E looks terrible full with patients moaning and groaning and being called by megaphone like a sheep dip. No personal touches here. Horrid place, seems very understaffed. Should have abandoned the project when carillon went bust and used the funds to refurbish the two hospitals some fat cat executive closed. Designed by a Brum central library buff. I won't be going there again. One experience is enough. A JOKE.

"Treated quickly at A&E"

I was blue lighted to A&E as the paramedics thought I may have a clot when I was having breathing difficulties. It didn't take that long waiting, just a couple of hours but others said they had waited a long time as there were no beds. I thought if its something terrible I wouldn't survive. You would think with it being a new hospital you would expect enough beds. I was treated quickly and had a chest x-ray, ECG and it was all done very quickly.

"A&E for over 14 hrs; horrible rude staff"

Partner was in for a suspected blood clot and meniscus tear after being referred by both GP and Sandwell UTC. Were in there for over 14 hrs, the nurses and reception staff were extremely rude and unprofessional. One of the nurses actually barged into my partners leg (the one they knew was injured already) while she was sat on the floor where they’d left her. This was coincidentally about 30 seconds after we had complained about the treatment of the nurses. She then had the audacity to huff at us as if it were our fault without an apology. When we tried to tell another member of staff about this, we were told that because we couldn’t name the nurse who did this by name that they couldn’t do anything and we shouldn’t wait where we’re in the way. Even though we were waiting where she’d previously told us to wait.
Aside from this, all the nurses and staff were very rude, disrespectful and quite entitled and arrogant during the whole ordeal. It’s disgusting that these people are paid through peoples taxes yet they treat and speak taxpayers like they’re subhuman. Travesty of a hospital, every A&E nurse and receptionist working on 21/02/25-22/02/25 should be ashamed of themselves.

"Awful place"

My son was admitted with pneumonia and sepsis the staff are rude and not interested. One nurse came in to give medication and didn’t even know what he was being treated for and had music playing through her phone in her pocket! Another nurse clearly had no clue about infection room control walking in and out seeing sick patients with fleece on and headphone in one ear. As a nurse myself I’m absolutely appalled by the care and delivery in this hospital. You don’t get medication on time it’s 2 hours after it’s due, left crying In pain and they just sit there!
My son is also asthmatic and has been asking for his nebuliser since 11pm last night.
Another incident my son was almost a victim of a drug error she was about to him a second dose of a drug he had been given 10 minutes prior as the previous nurse hadn’t signed off the dose.
I will be making a complaint about the whole experience.
It’s clearly not able to keep up with the huge demands with very little staff.

"Health care is utterly disgusting,"

Being a British citizen I can see a dramatic decline in the delivery of care, no sympathy or empathy more often cold.presentations from the majority of staff who are foreigners. The system & waiting time is totally unacceptable. How is it that the Gov can send billions to Ukraine but not support it's own country that now overwhelmed with foreigners overall we are all human being and our health care is not longer being prioritised. The Metro Hospital presents its self like a.large extended GP.surgery you only recieve care if you're on the verge of dying. There appears to be restrictions in A&E in conducting health tests - trays, scans etc to outrule serious concerns & places the ill patient on a longer waiting time which potentially make them more vulnerable and possibly die. What is the UK.now.doing carnt they respect.mankind, I am sooo disappointed to see the significant health care declined, it is atocious!!!! This type of care delivery need to be investigated pubically & & employed staff to present themselves with the care ethos. The standard is way below what it use to be even 10yrs ago. Staff need more mandatory training to support the wide diversity of patients, to be polite & respctful. Maybe these issue ned to be addressed by the public jews or tv as it is no longer acceptable.

What doesn't make sense given that the commu ity/ country has expanded with more.people, why has Sandwell Hospital been merged with the Metro but has less beds fir admissions? What is the real agenda.

"Patients smoking outside main entrance"

Directly outside the main entrance I was 'greeted' by two patients in dressing gowns smoking next to a sign stating that this was a no smoking hospital and they would be fined £50. As went I out of the Main Entrance I went to get a cup of coffee so I decide to go into Costa (Crumbles). Tables were outside and there was a large welcoming floor banner. When I tried to open the door it was locked, but there was no sign on the door stating it was going to be closed. Then a few yards from Costa there were 6 patients smoking. When I asked them to stop they told me I wasn't the law and to 'eff' off. There was no security to be seen. I emailed the Head of Security on 14th January and now it is the 5th February and I'm still waiting for a reply.

"10 hour A&E wait and disrespectful attitudes"

I waited for 10 hours in A&E at the new hospital. After I went again following a GP appointment who told me to go back to the hospital where I waited another 9 hours and saw the same doctor as before. I got a satisfactory service once seen. They did an ECG but there was lack of communication and a demeaning and disrespectful attitude by them.

"Not impressed"

The layout is extremely confusing and very poorly thought out. Certainly not great for elderly or disabled and even the staff and volunteers don't know their way around. A&E there should be a limit to how many people accompany patients as it's very crowded. IPC If you're going to wear a mask wear it properly-most staff walking around with them under the chin. Ban nursing staff from false long nails - basic standards not met

"Not enough staff and things working"

It's £5.90 for 24 hours parking here or only £20 for the week, so its cheaper than the QE. Why so different. Its new but there are a lot of things not working here, the lifts aren't working and there are lots of issues. The staff are not organised and don't know what their doing. The rooms are nice but there aren't enough staff, they work hard but they are all under pressure, it's a hard job.

I was seen around 5 times before I actually saw the doctor
But that took a whole 11 hours and a bit from 7pm till 7am ish
But then didn't give me anything for my pain, I'd have happily paid but nah he just suggest he only had paracetamol so I just took the ones they gave me which was 2 tablets they asked if I can stay and do a brain scan also but no I would not be willing to wait another 11 hours
