I was in ward 7 for nearly 4 weeks. I couldn't have had better care from all the services. The physios were excellent, and helped so much with my movement. The Occupational therapist helped with my coordination,and cognitive skills. She was amazing, but the speech therapists were outstanding. I was on a feeding tube, unable to eat or even sip a half teaspoon of water. I was put on a feeding tube (ng) to start with. I got exercises to do with my mouth, which helped to strengthen my swallowing areas. In turn I was able to eat a yogurt for a wee while, then ice cream and then generally managed to eat more substantial food. I did put in the effort with all my exercises, but especially the ones from speech therapy, as I was so determined to eat properly again. Katie you are amazing. I was in a sideroom in ward 7, and all the staff couldn't have been nicer. The nurses were all very caring, and attentive. Nothing was too much for them. Working 12.5 hours per shift, I really don't know how they manage, some having to do extra shifts to make ends meet is awful after what they have to do. No matter what they still managed to smile by the end of their shift. Thank you so much for looking after me. Some days, I think I was spoiled by the auxiliary nurses too. They were so kind and helpful. The cleaners too were always chatty and friendly. If you do end up in ward 7, then you'll have a good stay, and will definitely be well looked after.

I was a day patient for a small operation. Everyone I came into contact with was extremely helpful and caring. I was treated by four nurses and two surgeons. First clas.

I visited the out of hours service at Queen Margaret Hospital accident and emergency department in the early hours of Monday morning. I received excellent care from David & Fiona who were on duty. I received first class care and advice and I am now on my way to good health again. A credit to their profession.

My husband has literally just returned home from hospital, resting and recuperating from surgery. He just received a phone call, seemingly posing as an after-care follow-up. After a few short questions regarding his health and well-being, the call quickly devolved into what I would refer to as little more than solicitating a positive Yelp review, or worse yet, an ass-covering exercise. I was, at first, impressed with what appeared to be a kindness, but quickly became infuriated at the deep insensitivity of such a practice. I find this incredibly offensive, inappropriate and, at the very least, incredibly ill timed! If you had phoned, asked questions regarding his state of health and then said, for example, "would it be okay we sent you a short survey, which you could reply to when you're feeling better?" This review is proof positive that, if I was so inclined, the facility is in place for us to do just that! Someone needs to have a word with your marketing/pr department - today!!

Staff at main reception very helpful although there was a long queue upon return from appointment to make another one. The staff within the hospital were also extremely helpful and treated me with dignity and respect. Would definitely recommend this hospital in the future.

I called QMH my home for nearly a year, I am very attached to it, but the food is awful, menus are monotonous and it destroys your soul to eat the same hacket fish and chips every friday, especially when you hate fish and the only other option is a baked potato, with coleslaw and no other choice of filling. I am not a christian and don't want to be part of any religion so I don't feel it is fair not to have alternative menus for those who don't believe in traditions such as eating fish on a Friday. It offends me that I have to celebrate these things when I'm not a christian, as I have stated I have no desire to eat the same traditional religious food every week. The whole menu for the hospital needs an overhaul as the food is not healthy or balanced or even tasty enough to nourish long term patients either.
