The staff in 1 east gynaecology have been 100%, from the cleaning staff to the consultants they have all been great. They have communicated, updated me frequently and looked after me well. The ward is kept very clean, they are in cleaning it at least twice a day and change the bins frequently, this makes me feel safe regarding covid and the risk of infection. The bed sheets can be very rough and the pillows and mattress are done, the staff did get me another pillow when i asked however I had to bring my own pillow in as I was quite uncomfortable. Furthermore, I am in a bay of 4 and we have no television or entertainment, it would be nice to have something to make the days go by quicker. However the nurses and healthcare assistants are great at getting you up in the morning and making you feel ready for the day.
I came into hospital via ambulance and the paramedics were excellent, they couldn’t do enough for you and they didn’t make you feel like you were inconveniencing them. Moreover, they had a bit of craic with me so it made me feel less worried. They drove to the hospital at a nice and steady pace so it was a comfortable journey.
The emergency department was crazy, I was put into a cubicle and the bed was like a rock. The staff there always done their best and they have to go through some amount of stuff with the amount of people coming in.
The staff at the CT scanner are very nice. They explained everything clearly and how long you’d be in the scanner for, as it can appear quite daunting. The porters are also great, they have a bit of craic with me.
The food menu has greatly improved since my last visit here, there is a greater variety. The breakfast and lunch are great here.
The discharge process is very long, you could wait 3-4 hours to get home.
All in all I have never had a bad experience in CAH, they always try to help you in every way possible.
