I received excellent care and treatment by all members of the medical/nursing team on Ward ‘H’ at Ormskirk hospital.

Outpatients dept. seemed chaotic some nurses appeared to walk about like zombies there seemed to be no order. I had a very long wait and was last to see a young consultant in Mr Mistry's clinic , he was off hand and rushed me through my Prostate Cancer review. He had an unfortunate manner and gave me no grounds for optimism, I left feeling quite depressed. Fortunately we have now moved to another area and I am so glad I will never have to visit Southport Hospital again. I am now back under care of Lancaster Royal infirmary which is the place that I had my original diagnosis. I am just coming up to 5 years from my Radiotherapy. I guess I'm a survivor.

The staff are helpful but there is a lack of information as to what Is happening, for example why am I still not seen 2 hours after my appointment time.

The ward I was in had no ordered food as a lot of patients were too ill to eat, but when I did get food it was what was left from going round other wards and no choice just what was left. It was cold and dried up - frankly disgusting. The poor nurses on that ward were run off their feel and it was a choice of finding help to get the patient on a commode and simply letting them loose all dignity and do it in the bed. Not exactly something you'd want to come back to again. I was at least able to carry my own water coming out in a bag and get to a toilet for anything else, but other poor souls weren't .

I was admitted for colorectal surgery and was made welcome on the pre op day of admission. I was seen by the stoma nurse ahead of surgery in case a colostomy was necessary whilst in theatre. I thought this was helpful to prepare a patient otherwise they may be distressed if they came round and it had been done . I was happy about visiting hours as they were flexible enough to cover most people's needs and I did not find it too noisy or disturbing. My surgeon came on pre op day to go over the procedure again so I was fully aware of what would be done. I was fortunate enough to be operated on early next morning and my prep was calm and efficient with surgical team introducing themselves and quickly getting me into theatre to reduce any anxiety building up. Surgery was excellent and I was well monitored by staff afterwards Daily visits by my surgeon or other doctor were reassuring but we're often very quick. When allowed to eat I found the choice and quality of food very good and really enjoyed having an appetite again after many months of feeling ill. Ward assistants were kind and professional despite long hours on their feet and helped me to gain more independence daily pleased if you were making an effort yourself. My discharge went smoothly without being rushed If I had known in advance how positive my hospital stay would be I would not have been so worried and anxious. The only point I can think of to perhaps improve on was the lateness and variation in the night time medicine round. One night it was midnight and another two were also late so patients may not be able to settle until they have had their medication. But this was a minor issue and staff were extremely careful in dispensing and patient identity checks were constantly made right through my stay.

Train staff to recognise that patients are human beings, and entitled to efficient and courteous service.
