I has just a few experiences (luckily) with the hospital, a couple of them during the COVID-19 situation. I must admit that the bad reputation of the UK health system is very well-deserved, unfortunately. Personnel and doctors mainly stick to standard protocols and guidelines, do not go beyond those, and seem not to be capable to interpret data and symptoms, adapt to the specific patient. They do not learn from experience and from other countries and are not humble enough to see that other countries are doing much better. After all, the UK is still one of the country worst handling the pandemic (data and figures speak for themselves). I must tell that there is a sort of efficiency, however, especially in my second experience during the pandemic, there is a worrying lack of humanity and too much arrogance. A suffering person is just left by themselves, unless their conditions are very serious. Some staff are more kind, a majority less....some not polite at all. For instance, at the triage, a Gregory or Greg or something like that was rude, either almost insulting or just very odd....he recorded something I have never said and his observations were also contradicted by his colleagues and doctors. I think that more capable, competent and polite person should be employed. In general, I was feeling too unwell, so I was not able to complain, but the lack of humanity and politeness was remarkable in my humble opinion.

On entry to the hospital via the Eye hospital entrance was fine, however, it was evidence that staff weren't keeping 2 meters apart, which worried me. It was a different story when I finally arrived at ERCP. The ERCP team were outstanding, everyone was thorougher in the way I was treated, both before and after my procedures. Richard Hammonds is an amazing consultant, who listens and responds in a positive manner. His explanation of my procedures were precise and informative; keeping me engaged with interest and anticipation. Covid-19, has proved problematic, in terms of cleanliness and therefore, waiting for the theatre rooms to be ready and the recovery area bays kept 2 meters apart, were exhausting at times waiting and therefore the staff were able to positive engage in conversation, which put my mind at ease. However, the ERCP had systems in place for all scenarios. The only point of reference I would suggest is that, when I started to get re-dressed; there was nowhere for me to sit comfortably and wait for my husband to pick me up; as I remained in the recovery room on a chair that was found for me. I felt unwanted and alone. I didn't really want to be surrounded by other patients recovering from their procedures. Perhaps one or two chairs could be placed against the back wall in situ.

My husband was on Ward 7 HPB for over four weeks from December to January 2020. The treatment he received was wonderful and all the staff no matter their grade went out of their way to go that little bit further than one would normally expect. Tehseen the ward manager has her finger on the pulse and knows just what is happening at all times. When my husband had to be rushed back in on two occaisions after home leave the staff were so professional making a difficult situation easier for myself and my husband. This ward is a credit to Manchester Royal Infirmary and the NHS in general. I am a nurse myself but rarely have I ever seen such team work. Thank you all.

All the staff at MRI were very caring and work extremely hard to ensure that you are fully informed about all aspects of your care. The HDU team in particular are so supportive to both patient and relatives and keep you fully updated with your recovery progress. My husband and I both attended the Surgery School prior to my operation and found this very helpful and informative particularly in relation to pre-op fitness and the visit to HDU. The only downside was the long length of time(in excess of 7 hours) waiting for medication on the day of discharge, eventually one of the ward nurses personally went to the pharmacy to collect it, due to the length of time I had been waiting.

Great dedicated, friendly & helpful staff on HPB Ward 7. They showed respect to all patients. They had time to answer any concerns that I had during my eight days as a patient. Patients were outgoing too that one lady & I became friends during my stay which made it enjoyable.
