"Not good"

About: Rochdale Infirmary

I was put into the wrong Clinic and they did not know until I told them. They then gave conflicting advice that did not fit with my previous diagnosis leading me to not trust the nurse giving me the advice. She also did not listen when I was giving the details of my case. I also found the person slightly patronising and there was no resolution apart from another appointment which meant another day off work for myself and my husband. I really don’t want to go back as I do not trust the admin, putting me in the wrong clinic. If I didn’t know my medical condition I fear I could have been having assessments and investigations that were not relevant. When I mentioned just having the test I thought I was there for they were not willing to carry this out, or even phone the people who referred me to check out what they wanted. All in all very poor and not good.

Dear Anonymous

Firstly, I would like to apologise for the negative experience you had at Rochdale Infirmary. As a trust we work hard to make sure our patients have a postive experience and feel listened to while under our care. I have passed your comment on to the senior team at Rochdale, however as you have not mentioned the clinc you visited we can not pass this directly to the team involved. If you would like to discuss this in more detail, please contact with the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) on telephone 0161 604 5897, or email pals@pat.nhs.uk quoting that you have been told to do so on the NHS Website we can investigate this matter further.

Kind regards
