All staff were lovely and very caring . I couldn’t fault that but it was the length of time waiting in each area which was the hardest . I was treated very well when I was seen either by the nurses, doctors or other staff I saw.
All the staff were excellent, professional and caring.
My visit at the Emergency Department followed by SURR(SAU) and then to the ENT Department at the Queen's hospital was very impressed with the quality of care provided. The doctors,nurses(SURR) and staff were professional,attentive and delivered excellent treatment throughout my fourth visit. Their expertise and dedication were clearly evident,and I truly appreciated the level of service.
I thought communication was excellent. I made them aware I was deaf so communication was done via typing messages on mobiles or writing on paper.
Thought I had already submitted a survey! But here goes again. Apart from the time taken, which is no reflection on the excellent staff who were very busy, I couldn't have been happier with my experience from the ambulance crew through to the doctors. Regularly checked and asked if ok. Was given clear instructions what to do once home.
The system is broken in terms of waiting times. The nurses and staff are excellent in general but after being sent home following a 14 1/2h wait to then be told to come back a few hours later and sit around for another 5h and then have to report back the following day and wait another 10h before being able to have an operation is just not good enough.
I was booked in for a procedure which was done during the day. In the afternoon I asked a head nurse about something I was concerned about which was my heavy bleeding. Rather than speak to a Dr, she said it was normal and sent me home. This caused me to have blood clots and I ended up back there in less than 24 hours. The staff tried to convince me not to wait the 3 hours to see a Dr. I did wait as I knew something was wrong. When the Dr examined me he dug out huge blood clots from an open wound without even telling me what he was going to do and without any pain relief. It was excruciating and hugely traumatic. Then the Dr & nurse just walked out of the room. The terrible treatment has left me both physically and mentally traumatised.
Staff very busy and probably couldn't give as much time with each patient as necessary.
I trained in medical science and am conditioned like that.
Could be better.
