Original feedback for

Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham

★★★★☆

Great care but parking shouldn't be charged

I have been to QE a number of times and each time I can say that I have been well looked after. I've only attended as an outpatient and also visited my dad after he had surgery here some years ago. My only issue is the car park and the prices. I know it is the same at all hospitals, but I do feel as though this should not be allowed. Hospitals are for the sick and the dying - you can't charge people to bring a loved one here for life saving care! Mostly, though, it is a good hospital. The staff I have interacted with have all been professional and polite, but they are overworked - like in all hospitals!

Right to Reply

As part of our commitment to providing an honest and transparent view of health and social care services, Healthwatch Birmingham & Solihull encourages providers to respond to comments the public have left.

Alongside ensuring providers can have a fair say in discussions about their services, replying to reviews demonstrates evidence of responding to patient feedback for the CQC, who regularly monitor our Feedback Centre. It is also an effective way to recruit service users for any wider engagement work at your organisation.

Guidelines for provider responses:

  • Keep language appropriate and civil
  • Remain professional and treat people's comments fairly
  • Engage with the content of the review by addressing specific points and avoid cut and pasting a standard response
  • Don't disclose the service user's personal details or any potentially identifying information
  • Where appropriate leave organisational contact details e.g PALS or patient engagement teams for people to get further information

Remember: your response will be seen by everyone who uses the Feedback Centre, not just the original reviewer. All responses are moderated in accordance with our moderation policy.
