My experience with Lister hospital over the past 18 months is so negative I'm at the point now where I feel there is no point in me sending my bowel cancer poo sample back to them because they would not know what to do with it anyway. I feel that if I was diagnosed with cancer, I'd probably die before they got their finger out and arranged any treatment, such is the incompetency of the place. For example: I had a knee x-ray in September 2023. Come June I still hadn't got the results or had a follow-up appointment. Then, after chasing PALS, a receive an appointment, during which I'm told I need the same x-rays again because so much time has passed since the originals. Time and money wasted all round. I'm also waiting for the results of an MRI scan I had in April. I was due to receive a telephone appointment on June 28th but....surprise, surprise.....no call came. No text, no letter, no explanation, no apology...nothing. I'm still waiting but I've given up now. I'm tired of their incompetence and BS excuses. I appreciate the NHS is underfunded but money isn't all of the problem. Clearly we have too many chiefs running this excuse of a hospital. Kevin O'hart is the Director of Improvement apparently. Well, Kevin, I don't know if you're currently in one of Lister's coma beds or just asleep on the job, but I don't see ANY improvement AT ALL at Lister Hospital. The left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. Meanwhile I may or may not have a tumour......I guess I'll never know. The whole lot of the executive team need firing and replaced with people who know what they're doing.

I was sent to Lister from QE2 urgent care with a suspected heart attack. I am 45 years old!! My Dad died of heart failure aged 55. I wasn’t seen for over 4 hours where I ended up leaving without seeing anyone as no one could tell me when I would be seen and it was so busy that it was making me feel worse! People were throwing up and there were people who had additional needs who were very loud! The lack of basic care was shocking! I was left to sort out someone collecting me from Hatfield with a suspected heart attack. I had driven myself there. The GP just told me to call someone to collect me and just left me after telling me I may be having a heart attack! To be honest I would be dead if I had actually been having a heart attack but no one even cared! The NHS is an absolute shambles and people will sadly lose their lives if this carries on!!

I recently underwent knee replacement surgery as a private patient. The private patients team were excellent and easy to deal with. Communication was always quick and concise. My post surgery care was really impressive as it’s a long while since I spent time in hospital and I was very impressed as to how things have moved on for the better. My surgeon, Mr Thankrar, was first class and the whole team was very professional and I always felt my care was geared to ensure my peace of mind.

March 2019 I was diagnosed with a TIA and was treated at Lister, I was treated so well by all the doctors and nurses. I was sent for MIR scans, Brain scans, x rays, and even to London for a heart scan. Thank you to all the staff at Lister Hospital and our wonderful NHS workers.

What a wonderful treatment Centre, brand-new and very clean and spotless. Very comfortable and great nurse services. They really took care of me and went above and beyond duties to make sure that I was happy comfortable supported and felt less nervous. Their administration and paperwork was 2nd to none and much better than I previously had within another hospital in Hitchin. The doctor and his team were on time and very professional at all times. I felt cared for not rushed to leave and thoroughly looked after after surgery. This is my third time at the treatment centre and again 10 out of 10 for the service care and attention that I received well done team Lister.
