"two sides of the coin"

About: Queen Alexandra Hospital

I brought my Mother to A/E on 2.6.2014 and she was diagnosed with a TIA - it was a very, very busy day and despite the delays that must have taxed the staff to their limits my Mother was treated extremely well; thanks not only to ambulance/nursing and medical staff but the unsung heroes - the porters who also make a difference too the way a patient feels. Bad news- I had to park "illegally" just to get Mother into A/E and registered but then had to drive home and get a taxi back to the hospital because there was no where to park . I am 66 and currently suffering from ankle sprain and it drove me to tears to find this part so difficult.

Dear Felicity

I am pleased to hear that you and your mother had such a positive experience at the hospital, but disappointed to hear about the problems parking. Your comments will be shared with the A&E staff involved who will be pleased to have such positive feedback. But I will also pass this to the team who manage the car parks so that they can look into this to try to avoid another visitor or patient having this problem.

Should you have any concerns or comments in future about the hospital, good or bad, then you can also contact us directly through our Patient Experience Team by e-mail on PHT.PatExp@porthosp.nhs.uk or telephone 0800 917 6039.
