Im absolutely disgusted with this hospital discharging my mother without disclosing she has a health condition that has now literally tipped hers, and my life upside down. This was on her discharge notes, but nothing was said to us before she left. I would never have allowed her to come home with such a difficult condition, that hadnt been looked into, checked out, had any kind of investigation or any treatment tried. They didnt return my call the day after her discharge, when this had become very apparent, and wed also had to call 999. When I finally rang them after 6 days, they werent in the least bit interested, and just told me to go through PALS, they were too busy to talk to me about it. She fell out of a chair there within days of arriving, and we werent told. I found out when the physios went to put her in the chair the next time I was there, and she was scared to be put in it, and told them to be careful because shed been left and fallen out of it. She got an infection in her foot that wasnt dealt with, so became a real worry, and had her own food taken away from her and told she couldnt have it. I watched in complete horror as 2 senior staff, and 2 solicitors stood over the other lady in mums room, telling her she couldnt stay there, asking her if she was over the financial limit, and telling her she needed to find somewhere to go. If your vulnerable family member is in here, has to self fund, please be extremely cautious and vigilant because the divide between self funding and getting it all put in place, and paid for, and not getting any help whatsoever is huge, and bordering on dangerous. We will of course be taking it all further.

Several visits here for a Covid trial and recently for ultrasound appts. Best NHS experience on each occasion: calm, efficient and caring staff... Excellent architecture and surroundings too.

Visited my dad in here who is recovering from a stroke. What a great facility this is. The care the team here put behind stroke rehabilitation and more is top class. Thank you for everything you do.
