Every single member of staff was kind, caring, empathetic and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and I need up enjoying their company despite what they put me through LOL. From the cleaners to the surgeons their commitment under terrible circumstances was exemplary and I can only be thankful it was there I was sent for my treatment.

If my family or I am ever unfortunate enough to need medical care, and they/I am given a choice of hospital, I will ask to please not be referred to Addenbrookes. I hope that I would then be treated by a physician whose motivation is to help a patient with the symptoms they actually have rather, than someone who appears to be more interested in shoehorning symptoms into a diagnosis (ignoring any symptoms/lack of symptoms or test results that would not support that diagnosis), to benefit their research careers. Also, be warned: if you ask 'why' your appointment will end promptly and your GP will be sent a letter advising them you declined treatment and will be discharged. I would not touch the rheumatology department at Addenbrookes with a barge pole.

In addition to my own issue, the week previously I delivered a neighbour to A & E as a relatively urgent case. On both occasions we were treated promptly and with excellent follow up care and investigations and treatment.

I would like to express my deep gratitide to the two anaesthetists who took such good care of me during my surgery on 20 July 2022. I had an unexpected severe reaction to one of the anaesthetics and went into anaphylactic shock. Despite this i came to no harm, they dealt with the situation and the operation could go ahead. I cannot thank them enough.

I have nothing but praise for the care and attention I received from Mr Siong Seng Liau, Consultant Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgeon at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge. In July 2022 I had a huge liver cyst removed by him and his team. Mr Liau inspired enormous confidence by his calm and kindly demeanor, ability to explain very clearly and in detail what the results of the MRI scan indicated, exactly what the surgery would involve, and how long I would need for recuperation. The consultation was not rushed and all my queries and anxieties were dispelled by his clear precise and succinct answers about what was about to happen to me. This was very reassuring and helped me enormously during the comparatively short wait I had between the consultation and the surgery itself. Mr Liau's work is very neat. I have almost no scars- the largest incision in my navel will soon be completely gone - It seems to have been sewn with 'invisible mending' from the inside. Thank you. A follow up CT scan in a year has been arranged by him which is also reassuring and makes me feel very cared for. During surgery the team also noted possible signs of breast cancer which they alerted me to - The signs they noted are in fact due to something completely benign, but again this observation and attention to detail made me not only feel very cared for, but was a clear indication of how competent the team is under Mr Liau. My pain has disappeared and I feel a very lucky woman to have had Mr Liau as my surgeon.

The service I received from Addenbrookes Hospital was fantastic. Everything was explained very clearly. The service from the staff was superb. I felt totally safe and well cared for.

Put greater focus on meals. Several people on the ward weren’t eating or drinking because they physically couldn’t. I couldn’t hold a cup in the early days and my daughter prepared syringes of water for me which were so much easier to manage. Luckily, the man managing the food trolly was great and would butter my toast etc. Surgery definitely saved my life and for that I am of course truly thankful but a clearer discharge summary perhaps would have helped to manage the anxiety I felt when at home….

A very quick response to the finding of a large meningioma. At every visit I have been treated with compassion and excellent surgical and nursing skills. I am lucky to live where I do!
