Their efforts to turn this place into a prison look almost complete. Even the staff have to ask permission every time they want to take a patient from AE for an x-ray or other scan. It was a great hospital (atmosphere) for the first 20 years of its life but has been going downhill since 1999 and is now best avoided - unless you enjoy being physically assaulted by the thug staff. Nursing, admin and management: variable between poor and appaling. The only things worthy of the one star are the doctors and consultants - whom I feel terribly sorry for having to work in those conditions.

I have been a 'guest' here on many occasions over the past 2 decades. I have always found the experiences to be positive and friendly.
Went for a tour round birth Centre, absolutely phenomenal from the staff right through to the rooms. Amazing place, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Felt right at home, the birth rooms have a pool in them. Everything has been thought about was really impressed, relaxing atmosphere. Wife Had a baby there and it was the single most amazing experience ever. The staff were excellent and they were experts in all fields. Looked after my wife and newborn catered for all there needs. To sum it up Wow.
This hospital is sadly lacking in communication between Dr/nurses and worried relatives.Have rung many times for a close relatives results etc only for many calls to go unanswered,and when they are, no information is given out to the patients son and carer .Not everyone has a mobile and with covid 19 not allowing visits,this is proving very challenging.Feel like been kept in the dark,try avoid if possible,How difficult can it be to inform the relative once a day via a 5 min phone call? The not knowing of a close members condition from day to day is beyond frustration .This not a pot at the great work Drs and Nurses do in fact very thankful to them in the past ,but please let's communicate with each other.
I would give this hospital 0 stars if possible. After still feeling pain after morphine, the A&E Dr basically said I was making the pain up. I quote 'if you were really in as much pain as you say you are, you'd be bent doubled over unable to move'. I had explained previously that the pain was coming in waves and also the Dr was in the room with me for a grand total of maybe 10mins. Who is she to tell me I'm making the pain up?! She made me feel so unwelcome, embarrassed and gave me a complete lack of trust in the Dr from the off. Secondly, I am a T1 diabetic who hadn't eaten or drank anything since the day before. They wanted to keep me empty for the ultra sound but didn't tell me I could eat after until I was pretty much begging them. I was incredibly low on my blood sugar levels and thought I was going to have a huge hypo. Finally, they discharged me without removing my catheter. It wasn't till I was leaving that I noticed. I walked back to the ward and was ignored twice when I asked if someone could remove it. The nurse who did it seemed very annoyed at me for daring to ask. I have felt so let down by the NHS today. Turns out I have a blood clot in my liver. I wasn't making anything up. I wasn't wrongly reacting. I was acting like any human would. To be told I was essentially lying ruins any trust or confidence in the NHS in general. Do not go to this hospital if you want to be treated in a kind and caring way. I understand the NHS are under pressure... Just don't take it out on the patients... Once again 0 stars from me. So disappointed and upset by my experience.
