I want to say a massive thank you to all the staff on the day surgery unit who looked after me recently whilst I had gall stones. I expected to go home and have to wait out in pain until I could have my gall bladder removed. Dr Warsi had a last minute availability and got me in, I was so relieved and after a weeks stay in hospital I was discharged hours post op to go home to my 2 young kids, who's birthday party i had been planning from the ward with the nurses help! The ward was always clean and the staff were always happy to talk, any time of the day or night! Whilst I had some coordination issues with blackburn hospital during my visit, the staff were there to comfort me when I was struggling mentally. Thank you all so much for taking good care of me when I was at my most vulnerable

The staff in pre-op, ICU and the ward were all excellent. The room in the ward was crowded and hot, and the bed was initially very uncomfortable until someone kindly adjusted it for me. There were no keys for the secure cupboard by the bed, so I was worried about my valuables. Sleep and rest were difficult. I felt the food was disappointing, but I didn't have much of an appetite so it didn't matter too much.

From entering A&E in this hospital I was so very much looked after by all staff nurses and doctors Mr wangi was my surgeon, and I was operated the day after I was admitted. Can not thank all the staff and Mr wangi enough, for there true compassion and care.

My 1 star reviews weren’t published so I’m trying leaving 5 stars to see if this works. Honestly, I wouldn’t even give 1 star. Was taken up by ambulance with my heart racing and left arm pain. Got dumped in A&E reception and left after making me walk there. Begged for help when my heart climbed to 180 and was told to calm down and wait - when I was struggling to breathe. Had to sit on the entrance floor for 2 hours to bring my heart down to 125-135. Walked through to SDEC - and left. No explanation as to why this happened. Told the nurse my heart was going to fast and was told someone would be with me shortly. Despite the hospital knowing about my allergies, no one did anything when I started to have a reaction when I was in the waiting room. It subsided once I left the room but, still, I was told to walk outside and return to A&E. No care, no treatment, no test results, I didn’t even get to see a doctor. Ended up coming home. At least I get some dignity here. Phoned A&E to see why I was treated like this and was told ‘I don’t know, I’m just the receptionist’ - so, still no answers.

I have been under the excellent care of Mr Warsi for a number of years for repeated surgeries. Mr Warsi is a consumate professional, approachable, friendly and very reassuring. I feel comfortable in his care. Mr Warsi is always ready to answer any questions or queries (no matter how insignificant) and gives you reassurance and confidence in his opinion. I feel I am listened to. Hospital procedures and stays can be quite daunting, but i can honestly say under Mr Warsi's care (together with his excellent team) a lot of that anxiety is assuaged. Thank you. During my many hospital stays I have received exceptional care and attention from all members of staff (medical professionals, the wonderful nurses and axillary staff on the ward and lovely theatre staff). They have always been supportive, friendly and very approachable. I cannot praise them enough. Everyone really goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Nothing is too much trouble and every effort is made to reassure you if you have a problems, questions or requests. Their commitment to ensuring your stay is as comfortable as possible is commendible. Thank you.

Unfortunately over recent years i have been in need of their services a lot and have not had bad care from anyone. from the porters ,nursing ass, nurses, doctors, physios all have taken the time to explain care & procedures that were needed and treated me well. From my own experience i have only bad things to say about F.G.H.
