Ward G8 - I have been in many times before-if I didn't know what to expect the explanations might be a bit thin. I can't really find any fault. You just have to call and they come. Food is much better than it used to be.

I was seen very quickly and I was looked after really well. I missed the pharmacy opening times though which mean't I had to get my prescription elsewhere

Discharged with terrible concerns

unknown
July 5, 2018
Resident was discharged to us and in the handover the nurse advised there were no concerns apart from a small moisture lesion to the sacral area. When this lady arrived back to us she had bright red urine burns all over her. Two grade one pressure areas on both big toes, deep marks on her nose both sides from her glasses that look like they haven't been taken off her face for weeks (she was in hospital for 4 weeks) the lady was very distressed.

I've had a number of skin cancers removed and all the treatment I've had has been excellent. I'm listened to and taken seriously and then they act quickly when they are concerned about anything.

Communication could be better

I'm happy with the departments that I've visited, communication could be better as sometimes there is a lack of information coming from staff

Professional clean ward. Very patient and explained everything brilliantly. It's a discussion with the staff and I now have regular 6 monthly checkups at the hospital. I can see that the department is very busy, but they remain polite and I don't mind waiting.

Appointment system could be improved

IBD
June 21, 2018
I had an appointment which got changed. I went to the new appointment and when I was there, I found out the person who should have seen me wasn't there, so I had a wasted journey. Then I had a new appointment that was at an unsuitable time, so I had to change it again and it was difficult to rebook.
