I have to date had 16 major surgeries the last of which was in Hull Royal Infirmary on 28/1/2026 when I underwent brain surgery to my brain stem.
I have been treated in many hospitals over the years and I’ve got to say Hull Royal is second to none.
The surgery was first class and the staff on ward 40 both day and night shift were so professional, caring attentive and an absolute credit to nursing.
Thank you.

Ward 36 in HULL ROYAL INFIRMARY.
I went to visit my daughter on ward 36 as she had pancreatitis, when I got there she was covered in vomit and she was in EXTREME pain. My daughter was literally writhing in pain, she couldn’t get comfortable in any position. She was twisting and turning on the bed. Was burning up, shaking. It was horrible to witness.
The nurse in charge of her care offered her ORAL PARACETAMOL. Despite her inability to swallow and the severity of her pain. I had to plead and beg a Dr to see her, once he came in to the cubicle he realised she was in absolute agony and immediately prescribed IV morphine which took affect within minutes.
My gripe is WHY?! Why didn’t the nurse in charge of my daughter’s care recognise the severity of her predicament? WHY did it take me begging and pleading for my daughter to get the help she needed? My daughter was literally writhing, crying, vomiting blood, in unimaginable pain! She was in room number 1, literally in eyesight of the nurses station and not a single one of them got out of their chair to help her. I’ve never seen my daughter like that, it was heartbreaking. I don’t know if the nurses on this ward are jaded, too nonchalant or what, but I could never leave anybody in agony,l like that. I’m honestly in shock about it. My daughter is home now, but not for the help of the so called “care providers” on ward 36. Absolutely atrocious!
Wanted to say a huge thank you to Hayleigh in OPAT at HRI. The whole team were amazing however wanted to give a special shout out to Hayleigh for the extra attentions to detail. She gave me some really great headspace recommendations whilst on-going an unrelated treatment. Really appreciated her recognition in this and how she subtly but consciously could offer further support.
Keep up the great work OPAT Team, you are all such a lovely bunch of people♥️
My niece was is hospital due to having an inflamed stomach and an inflamed bowel. She was in A&e for 30 hours while waiting for a bed on a ward. Once on the ward, which was ward 36, the staff were terrible. One nurse in particular kept refusing to give my niece the pain medication AND the antisickness she was prescribed, despite a conversation my niece had with her doctor about this issue, it persisted, resulting in my niece being left in pain and feeling sick for three days. In the end, we as a family encouraged her to come home. Upon arriving home a community nurse came out to see her only to discover that my niece was severely dehydrated, had a temperature of 38.9 and had an infection.
The nurse on ward 36 had labelled my niece as “drug seeking” due to her consistently asking for pain relief, which was never given, or if it was then it was a mild pain relief that didn’t help because she was expected to swallow it even though her stomach couldn’t digest it due to it being very inflamed.
The quality of care was very poor. My niece was suffering and the nurses didn’t do anything to alleviate her suffering due their own prejudice and opinions.
Absolute great care whilst on ward 4, made my various stays bearable.
After suffering a detached retina in my right eye I was operated on by Mr Colsen and effectively saved my sight in the right eye even with macular detachment. 3 months later detachment occurred in my left eye which was repaired by Mr Ellabban. I am highly delighted and forever grateful to the skills of the two surgeons mentioned as well as the rest of the staff involved in my treatment at the Hull eye hospital.
All of the staff on wards 4 and 40 aswell as the staff on icu were amazing after my spinal surgery. I was looked after amazingly and everyone I came in to contact with treat me with great care, respect and dignity. I was in hospital for a week and although I was on pain meds they kept me and my wife informed of all decisions regarding my care.
I have revised Mr Gordins. His support staff, namely Kathryn , are caring too . A caring facility
I was admitted to Hull Royal as an emergency, and was an in-patient for approximately 10 days. Even though some treatment was very painful I was treated with kindness and respect.
Thanks very much everyone.
Although my appointment was cancelled with another consultant in the day, having waited over 6 months for it, the replacement appointment with another consultant was an excellent experience. The reception staff were friendly and helpful and the nursing team were lovely too.
