Pinderfields Hospital

Very happy and satisfied

Have to travel from Pontefract and journey quite long.
This hospital is better than Doncaster

Happy with service, been really quick. Within days the appointments arrive.

First admitted then was sent home too early as was re admitted after two days with major stroke.
Been at Pinderfields hospital and Dewsbury during stay. Waiting to go into a nursing home.

Appointment came quick no option given on choose and book.
From gp to first appointment four weeks

Seen consultant in Dewsbury and was referred to Pinderfields for examination.

On discharge lots of patients waiting long periods of time for medications

Was happier being in a bay than side room. Stay was over two weeks. Felt was looked after. Doesn't think there are enough staff but the ones that are working are good.
There was one elderly lady and I would take her for walks to give that patient confidence.
Patients waiting along time for basics ie showers
When I used buzzer I found that I had to wait a while for someone to respond.

No complaints.
Excellent car parking.
Food.. Breakfast can't get toast, feels just get cheap food and portions are small. Feels this is letting the hospital down.

Gate 44 noticed that a lot of the qualified nurses have left the Trust, knows that they chooses careers as district nurses. Feels that pressure is too much and this isnt good for the trust.
