Really good care
January 14, 2025
I was in and out of hospital all last year as I had a few falls which meant I had to stay. The care was really good. The nurses worked hard.
Excellent and very quick

I had surgery for basal carcinoma here. Everything was picked up quickly and surgery was done in weeks. Excellent care was given.

I waited 2 years for our appointment at the falls clinic to be told they will change the medication and you will be fine. My GP should have told me this.

The asthma nurse was really good with helping me and giving me reminders of appointments. She makes sure my notes are up to date. I can call her if I need to and she provided me with an asthma rescue pack.
Treated me well

I ended up staying in for 3 days. It was okay. They treated and cared for me well. They said they couldn't sort an advocate for me though.
Lack of oxygen and long waits
A&E
January 14, 2025
They told me at A&E to use the computers to book in. The receptionists said how do you know how to spell, her attitude was really bad. I was having a severe asthma attack and they didn't give me any oxygen and I was there until late in the evening. I waited a long time. There wasn't enough oxygen so I had to share with another person. I ended up on a chair as there were no beds.
Good communication between the teams

The lung specialist found a lump and suggested they wouldn't operate because of her memory issues. They said they would write to the memory clinic to get an update on her before sending her to radiotherapy. There is good communication between the teams.
Excellent and they care

I had a maxfax consultant appointment who then referred me to the dental hospital. The treatment explanation was excellent.
