The hospital feels generally outdated. I was in inpatient for several months and found my care to switch between incredible and appauling. The A&E is a disaster, not very clean and rediculous waiting times even when brought in via ambulance. Saying that the doctors on all wards were amazing and very competent including the students. A couple of nurses who in my opinion shouldnt be aloud in nursing one of whom left me with a full catheter bag overnight despite me asking for it too be emptied so got alot of renal pain that night. The waiting time if you press your buzzer can often be very long and the staff can be very irritable but again some staff were amazing. Hospedia is very expensive, general patients on manual moving beds, long waiting times to move wards but still a good hospital held together by some amazing staff.
