WONDERFUL CARE
No
June 6, 2022
My husband was transferred to Dewsbury Hospital from Pinderfields and was in there for 8 weeks…… during this time he was in Ward 10 and my family and I were blown away with the care and attention of all the staff here. ….communication
was excellent and we were able to speak with his doctor frequently and his consultant periodically and they were very clear with their information. …..unfortunately
my husband passed away recently and the staff were so sympathetic and helpful and caring and it made all our family feel warm and cared for. ….I realise a lot of patients and their families have had different experiences but felt I had to document the wonderful care we had at Dewsbury. ……thank you Ward 10 from the bottom of our hearts.

I noticed very poor infection control

During our recent visit on Monday 28th March we witnessed a patient become unconscious as she fell to the ground she vomited all over the floor and lost bowel control .
She was taken out of the main room . But the bodily fluids remained on the floor for well over 20/30 mins .
I requested that it needed to be cleaned and had to warn patients not to walk on it as they entered .
My husband is a wheelchair user and the incident happened in the row in front of us .
As we were called I had to push the wheelchair over this mess , hence spreading it further in the room .
This was infection control at its worst. As evidence I have images of the bodily fluids and how close it was to where we sat .

I was on the waiting list for a surgery when my health started to deteriorate.
I requested the doctor and my surgery was carried out on an urgent basis.

Waste of an appointment, time and cost
Hearing aid services
January 9, 2020
Husband attended audiology appointment by referral from GP about hearing problems. The appointment came quickly within a week which was good. On arrival at the appointment the staff member said they couldn't do the hearing test due to wax build up and this would need to be sorted before the test could be performed. He was given a letter to take back to GP's to sort this out first. This seems a real waste of time, for my husband, the hospital, the administration department when he had been referred from GP. Either the GP needs to make sure that this isn't an issue before asking the patient to attend or the department needs to perform the ear syringing if it is an issue. Not very streamless service- how many times is this happening. My husband had to take time from work and pay parking costs and still needed to go back at some point in the future to sort the issue. Not well thought out. I would have given 2.5 stars if i could.
Excellent service at the Xray department
X-ray

We were required to go for an xray and were told there was a drop in service. We arrived and were seen within 5 minutes. The process was very efficient and easy. We were in and out within 25 minutes. Fantastic

I always have to wait at A&E a long time. When I get through the doctors see me for 1-2 mins. I can't speak English well. There should be someone to speak my language
Fast . Efficient

Fast, efficient caring staff. Took the time to explain treatment to me and then explained all the results. Very reassuring as I was nervous. Very happy with the service provided.
