I was seen In the Breast Unit and was very satisfied with all of the care I received.
I was well looked after and everything was explained to me. I was able to ask questions and was given lots of helpful information. My operation was arranged quickly and I was very happy with the results.
A great service from the breast care team. All thorough tests were completed within 1.5hrs!! Amazing service, thank you for putting my mind at rest!!
The nursing staff at Southend at the breast clinic were always there to answer any questions after each appointment they were knowledgeable and supportive. A high delivery of care emotionally is delivered. The radiologist (tanya) who gave me a biopsy and guide wire procedure and found pre-cancerous cells was so skilled at detecting any abnormalities I cannot thank her enough. The day-stay staff on the ward do an outstanding job as I experienced 2 operations there. The care was excellent on all levels.
I have had a CT scan on Saturday 29th 2022 from the time I arrived till leaving, everything was made clear what would take place, staff on every level kind and helpful.
Yesterday Wednesday 2/2/2022 I had a Colonoscopy procedure. Again staff amazing. During procedure the nurse chatted with me between my gas and air , this was so kind and helped take my mind off what was happening, be it quite tolerable nothing to worry over. Afterwards on discharge another nurse made me a most welcomed hot chocolate. They rang my partner to meet me and the same nurse walked with me to the outside of the building.
I was fortunate that I had nothing untoward show up.
So I have the highest praise for all peoples working there under such trying conditions we are presently facing.
thank you Mavis Hunt
Having been admitted during this dreaded COVID-19. My biggest concern was catching this awful disease. I and my wife had to self isolate for 14 days Prior to the hospital admission. They gave me a Covid test which was negative. While in hospital the staff were doing everything that was humanly possible to stop the transmission. My only adverse comment is the food menu isn’t what it used to be. Won’t be concerned at all for my next visit to have my new knee done. A big thank you to all staff and dr tam. Many thanks Bill Clement
Southbourne ward is a nightmare.left on bedpan for 20 mins and no access to buzzer.nurse finally came and admitted she had forgotten me. Commode was just as bad next day I was left on commode no access to buzzer again had to shout for another patient to call nurse.
Hope nobody gets put on Southbourne ward.
Staff can't answer the phone. Emergency buzzers not in reach of patient and most of the time if you can get another patient to buzz for you it is likely that you will wait upward of 30 min! Patients soiling themselves due to waiting so long.
I want to say a big Thank you to Princess Ann ward
My mother passed away on 24th february a little unexpected but the staff were very informative and kind
I especially want to say thanks to HCA Kyla Rose ,her kindness and patience to my mother will not be forgotten by me.
Excellent Hospital. Always treated with compassion and respect. Nurses are wonderful and doctors great. I have had a couple of cornea grafts at this hospital over the past 3 years and have always been treated well and with respect. Some people don't think about how much the hospital is stretched and short staff and tend to moan about the slightest thing. We are very lucky to have a great health service (where we don't pay a penny!) We must all get behind the health service and give them praise rather than knocking them down. I say well done Southend Hospital you are a great hospital and thank you for giving me my eye sight back Dr James Myerscough.
This review relates to the Nightingale Centre Breast Care Unit & the Day Surgery Unit off of Carlingford Drive.
The level of care & professionalism was excellent. Thank you to all the staff concerned.
