I attended Peterborough A & E after my GP was concerned about my ECG. She gave me a letter and while I was on my way to hospital continued to try and telephone them to warn them I was on my way, but no one would answer.
On arrival it was like a cattle market. After seeing a Triage nurse, despite having an urgent letter the nurse told me to wait in the waiting room. After 1.5 hours I was given an ECG and blood tests these were taken by a brilliant nurse and a young trainee. The hours this nurse was working for the pittance she is paid is disgusting. After more waiting I saw a trainee doctor and had a chest X-ray and then was seen by another doctor. In between times I was back in the waiting room that was absolutely overflowing with people waiting to be seen. What I gained from this and overhearing conversations, 80% of people waiting were there because they could not get a GP appointment. The lady sitting next to me was there because she had a sore finger. Another chap was talking on his phone saying he could not get a GP appointment for three weeks so decided to come to the hospital. This is atrocious for people like myself and others that needed urgent care and being held up. The overall care I received by the staff was good considering the pressure they are under.
One thing I strongly object to and it should be dealt with, there is a lot of talk about obese and diabetic people and yet sitting in the waiting area are vending machines filled with chocolate, crisps and fizzy drinks. These should be removed. I saw several very obese people using these during my seven hours at the hospital.
The staff kept a very pleasant attitude despite being under such great stress.

Staff were courteous and professional at all times.
I was kept fully informed and and updated about my care and my treatment was performed as quickly as possible in a very bust A & E department.

I came to a&e following a RTC- extremely rude HCA with shaven head she was so rude and so was the doctor did not offer me any pain relief when I asked her how long the wait is she shouted back and said how long is a piece of string shocking service from this rude HCA. The doctor on duty she was also very rude and told me to self discharge myself if I wasn’t well to sit it wasn’t being well to sit but where is the sympathy here I was involved in a collision I was shaken up and to recieve this service absolutly disgusting will be reporting this matter to CQC also.

The only comment I have is that I asked the nurse if my husband who is a consultant in the hospital to attend the procedure with me but he refused and when I was in I realised that there was no female in the room only the doctor and the nurse who were both males, which I think in the hospital policy is not accepted and there must be a female stuff attending with a female patient. But any other things were perfect.

I haven’t had my surgery yet .But what I can say is that I have met Dr Kamath and Dr Carmichael and both were absolutely wonderful. I have ptsd and find everything it hard to understand everything and both were easy to understand and made me feel at ease.
I can honestly say I have no worries with either of them and feel 100% confident in both.They are a credit to our struggling NHS and we are lucky enough to have them both.
