WARD 12 - excellent care
December 17, 2024
Here's a revised and polished version of your feedback:
I was very well looked after by the entire team. My surgeon explained in detail what was going to happen during my procedure and immediately afterwards. The nursing team kept me calm and reassured while I was waiting for my procedure, and they provided excellent care during my recovery.
I feel very grateful to have been cared for by such a wonderful team on the ward. Thank you!

Urology at Boothroyd Centre - Excellent
Urology
October 7, 2024
Had to take a relative to an appointment in the urology clinic. Staff were so friendly and supportive and the quality of care was spot on. Ended up needing emergency care as an inpatient which was arranged as soon as possible and the staff monitored relative's condition until a bed could be arranged.

I had to attend to give blood to help my consultant with my diagnosis. I arrived and took a ticket .it was very busy but the staff were very professional and efficient. They dealt with everyone with respect and great support. Regards my treatment I was helped by Ayesha and Sam
The ladies were fantastic and even though my body was not in a mood to give up blood that easy. Both staff remained calm and made me feel comfortable and the experience was very pleasant
So big thank you Ayesha and sam wonderful patient care

Excellent support on acute assessment unit
April 5, 2024
My mother was transferred to the assessment unit from A&E at PGH. Despite being a busy unit all staff worked hard towards a safe discharge once assessed as medically fit.
Fantastic

Relative of admitted elderly mogher
ward 10- 11
June 24, 2023
My mother was admitted from PGH A&E to ward 8. She was exhausted and was found laid flopped over on her back by myself the following morning laying in the wrong direction with cornflakes soggy as she had not been able to eat without a beep going off from her drip in every mouthful, if it had been in her other arm it would have been more manageable. This went on for all the time l stayed until was flushed by her nurse. The IV was stopping and starting.
The ward was noisy and extremely busy , mum told me that a nurse had spent a long time with her trying to compete forms but mum couldn't hear or understand her accent and was very frustrated.
I was asked to leave at the end of visiting but felt that l needed to stay as the ward appeared short staffed.
The corridors in the wards were obstructed with equipment and porters had difficulty maneuvering trolleys. A fire hazard.
The meals were described by my mum as having been reheated up from the previous day or else cold and so unpalatable.
My mother had been moved to ward 11 on the 2nd day and was extremely tired but placed next to a television that blared out next to her at high volume so preventing her from sleeping.
The staff on ward 11 were completely amazing, extremely caring and efficient and helped me with all of my enquiries but l felt that there was a huge shortage of avaailable physio which was needed due to constant bedrest and my mother's joints stiffening up.
The staff helped where they could providing a lovely bed.
The car park says that disability spaces are available but not until you enter and are obliged to stay does it say that there are no concessions for the disabled badge holders.
Staff moral needed a boost and they shouldn't have to pay for parking at their work.

My elderly mother was treated with kindness and respect whilst having an x-ray for a fractured jaw. The doctor quickly arranged a specialist appointment at Pinderfields the following day at a suitable time for us.

I suffer from hospital-related anxiety and I live near Pinderfields but was referred to a consultant DDH which was overwhelming for me as I am used to my local hospital. However, I was sent a letter in plenty of time and with lots of information about how to find the hospital/entrance/ parking info etc. It was great is allowed me to be completely prepared for travelling to the appointment.
I was seen within minutes of arriving and then sent for a blood test - the waiting area was just next door so again less anxiety for myself. Really please with the experience.
