Pinderfields Hospital

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.

Good hospital but not enough staff. The staff that are here are excellent and rushed off feet.
House keepers doing meals and cleaning - view is that this shouldn't happen. Wife got CDif and feels that the cleaning is not done properly as the house keepers are too busy.
Witnessed.. Ward was used as detox ward and guards were present at all times on the ward. The person in the room destroyed the room even taking TV off the wall and patient had to be sedated.

Very good happy with everything.
Patient has picked up that people are unhappy with the new eye department as they come main hospital and then told to walk up.
