Saturday 9/3/24. Called 999 for what I thought was acute appendicitis. The 999 service was excellent and arranged for a taxi to take me to Boston Hospital Lincolnshire UK. On arrival at A&E I was seen by a surgeon within 30 minutes who diagnosed the source of the problem as a inguinal hernia. I was operated on that same day under full anesthetic. Every member of staff I met at the hospital  was wonderful. I was discharged Monday afternoon 11/3/24 with transport arranged to take me home. This really was first class treatment thank you to the NHS and all the staff at Boston hospital.

waited 22 hour A&E untill seen.....sat there with a spinal fracture and 3 damaged vertabrae.. got seen and transferred to ward 8......in my opinion a special needs ward! asked the question why was i placed there......because i was anxious was the answer! i guess i was after a 22hrs wait in agony...got moved 4 time in my 10day stay from bed to bed....even placed in a covid patients bed after he went into isolation! was told it had been deep cleaned twice....2 hrs after moving in....the cleaners arrived to do a deep clean...i was not happy. the hospital is grubby, i came home with scabies and gastroenteritus ..like i didnt feel rough enough already....its just not clean enough...staff are fantastic...overworked but they are great....i dont look fwd to returning, but no doubt will have too one day...food excellent....hygiene/housekeeping is poor.

I had an urgent appointment at the Royle Eye Casualty dept; I was looked after by reception, nurse and most importantly by Mr Deepak Kundnani, (Speciality Doctor in Ophtalmology) he had a lovely manner, I felt at ease and confident in his hands, he gave me a very thorough eye examination, and explained everything clearly. The eye casualty dept is a new wing, so it was very clean. With the current situation we have with the NHS, I can not fault the Pilgrim, the staff are very nice and helpful. Many thanks to Mr Deepak Kundnani

My 85 year old father was admitted after a fall it was discovered that he has terminal secondary liver and brain cancer. He and his fellow patients on the ward are neglected to the point of soiling the bed (they are not incontinent) just ignored by overworked and insufficient incompetent callous staff. There are a few staff that do go above and beyond picking up the slackness neglect & cruelty of others. but the majority of the staff seem to be in the wrong profession. . I would sooner commit suicide than be admitted to this hospital. It is shameful the way the sick and elderly are treated on ward 6b. They are treated worse than animals. This horrible situation is worse at night. Patients in my Dads ward were shouting for help in the night and resorted to shouting fire but were still ignored - absolutely disgraceful! I went to look for staff to help my Dad move in his bed no one was there to help. My husband and I moved my Dad ourselves. I then had the other three patients in the ward asking me for help. I felt helpless and close to tears. The Government have got a lot to answer for as have the trust that oversees this Hospital. I will be forwarding this email onto the local MP.

I visited the early pregnancy unit today and was cared for so well, the best service I have ever received. Emma Dewey took care of me and went above and beyond to help and reassure me. She was so friendly and really calmed me down, I have left feeling so much better and much less alone. I felt like I was chatting to someone I’d known for ages not just a nurse that you meet on a whim. I would also like to add that the sonographer Oliver Seymour was also exceptionally friendly reassuring and so incredibly caring. Thank you for treating me like a real human and listening to my concerns, not just fobbing me off and rushing me out the door like I have been at a different hospital before. It means a lot to me and I will always be thankful. I hope these 2 colleagues get some praise from this review especially Emma, it’s very much deserved :)

Although I had to travel to Boston for a clinic no longer being run at Grantham due to Covid the hospital was very efficient and well run

I was a patient at Pilgrim Hospital admitted for a Fractured Neck Of Femur. I am so impressed and completely satisfied with the care and treatment I received from all professionals involved within my care. I felt completely respected and treated with the upmost dignity. The staff at Pilgrim Hospital are consistently working hard. However they always exceed above and beyond within their duties. I. Highly recommend this Hospital. Dr. Phil was the Surgeon who performed my Neck Of Femur Surgery. Dr. Phil is a really inspirational professional Doctor who explains the procedure prior to treatment been performed. He is an absolute asset to Pilgrim Hospital. The Surgery was a success and I’m truly impressed with the outcome of my Surgery. I felt truly supported and I’m truly amazed as I do not have a noticeable Scar on my leg from my Surgery which I am truely satisfied with.

I was asked to go for a colonoscopy in the Endoscopy Department at 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning. The staff were all welcoming, good-humoured and efficient and really helped me through the procedure. I was most impressed with the level of care received. Thank you very much!

I have been in Pilgrim hospital a few times, and have always been treated very well. I find the staff are really lovely and Wilhelm in any way they can. Everything was explained all the way through my stay.
