The whole process from doctor’s referral to completing the appointment was prompt, simple, straight forward and relatively easy. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. It was as near a pleasure as anything like that can be. The most irritating bit was continuously being asked for my name and date of birth. I realise that is to ensure I am still 'Compost Memphis'. Sorry, I was just channelling my inner Victoria Wood (no relation) linguistic skills. My thanks and best wishes to the whole team.

The signage could be improved, I had to ask for directions part way through both getting in and out. I realise you can’t put every department on every sign but if a page of joining instructions were sent out giving progressive pointers from, and back to, both the main entrance and the South Block entrance, and any others, that would be great and help alleviate the stress of ‘going to the hospital’. The Asian lady who did my booking in had quite a strong accent, and my hearing isn’t 100% any longer. I had to ask her several times to repeat what she had said or asked. I think it is because people doing the same thing frequently tend to speak the well-known script quickly. Just ask them to slow down a little please.

It was really informative and everything was explained really well, talked through everything, felt like all bases were covered and I was made to feel really supported and comfortable throughout.

Honestly nothing.

Very quick to be seen and receive advice

I was referred to A and E by NHS 111 online. I had painful ankle pain. As it wasn't caused by an injury, I couldn't be treated and had to see my GP. I know this isn't Doncaster's issue but I am sure I'm not the only one being referred to the hospital by 111 service when I should have been referred to my own GP. I don't want to bother accident and emergency when zi don't need to. Also could have saved myself a trip

All the staff were extremely helpful, kind and very professional. I was given good information and guidance about the procedure. Information was also given and explained if I needed to contact someone after my treatment. I am a carer and did not have sedation, the staff were very supportive with me which enabled me to go home and continue to support my loved one. I would like to thank everyone involved.

My pregnant partner came in with quite severe pain in her chest and she wasn’t even prioritised as a high risk patient when in my personal opinion she should of been and 6 hours later we’re finally seen just to be given a prescription it’s a diabolical effort from hospital staff

Prioritise pregnant women overall

The team in ACU were professional, friendly and excellent. I was supported and cared for by Samuel Whitworth, who I found to be very though and ensured I receive all the procedures to deal with my ill health. Samual was friendly, caring and explained everything in a way I understood. I also was offered a sandwich and drinks throughout the day when I was there. Thank you Samuel and the ACU team. Samuel you are a credit to the nursing profession and to DRI.

I felt that everything was completed

Most of the staff were friendly, caring and professional especially Michelle who had a great disposition and a lovely personality.

I thought most of the procedures and care taking was robustly delivered although on a personal note I would have liked my teeth palettes to have been accessible when in recovery room, for my own dignity and mental welfare.
