I was in for a week being treated for sepsis. I did not feel that I was kept informed about my treatment. I had been rushed into A&E wearing only my underpants. On discharge I was sent home in a taxi I paid for at 9pm in sub zero temperatures wearing just a surgical gown & a pair of disposable pyjama bottoms. I had to walk the last 50 metres to my front door. Humiliating.
Care was very good, i do not think it could be improved.
My only complaint was that towards the end of my stay was that I was suddenly moved to a different part of the ward without any explanation, it would have been nice to be forewarned!
I didn't feel I needed to worry about anything, staff were all lovely. DR Arvinte was my doctor and was great
Every experience that myself and my family have with Bedford hospital has been excellent.
Sadly the only downfall is the food served during my latest stay, in late September this year. I am gluten free so I accept that it is not always easy to cater for people with allergies; however, the consensus of opinion from other patients in Tavistock ward was that the food was very poor. Such a shame.
Brilliant hospital, great care as an in patient, nothing too much bother from the staff.
I had first class care throughout my complex hip revision surgery and was treated with compassion and care by all members of staff.
I received exceptional care in the hospital from all members of staff from various departments and areas of expertise. Can't thank you all enough.
The hospital is looking run down simple things like replacing paint on walls which had been bashed, wording on reception desk, letters missing, ceiling tiles absent would cost little to fix. Lots of staff shortages meaning nobody to discharge, medicines, meals and washing very late etc. long long wait for pharamacy to prepare prescriptions on discharge. Clinical assistants very hard working. Waited 6 hours along in a room with a small window prior to operation.
SDEC doctor very nice. Some of the staff on reception were also very nice. It would have been nice if the nurse had explained a bit more, and if everyone had introduced themselves. Toilet dirty, urine on the seat etc. Main thing that makes it unpleasant is staff in the reception area playing crackly music, makes it a more stressful atmosphere for patients who are already tense without extra jangling of nerves from the music.
Absolutely faultless apart from delay in discharge. Over 24 hours waiting for doctor.
