I have been visiting my mother every day since her admission to ward 15 two weeks ago. I would just like to say that the parking is horrendous. I find myself driving around in circles waiting for a space and although I have a blue badge there are nowhere near enough disabled spaces and I don't usually get one. Today I struggled to get a parking space but eventually got one some way away from the entrance. I walked to the entrance, then to the ward which is a long way from the main reception area only to be told by the ward staff that the hospital was closed to visitors because of a sickness virus. While I understand that this has to happen, I don't understand why there was no notice on the main doors and why I wasn't stopped from walking all the way to the ward, (which incidentally, is not easy for me). I was so upset and frustrated on leaving the hospital. I also have to say that the ward staff have been exceptionally good to both me and my mother. I have no complaints about them at all, hence the five star review.
