"Saw quickly in a very quiet waiting ..."

About: The East Riding Community Hospital

(as the patient),

What I liked

Saw quickly in a very quiet waiting room. Convenient to Beverley.

What could be improved

The nurse I saw in minor injuries was rude and uninterested. They complained to me that they "felt crap" after being up all night being sick. Made a diagnosis but was unsure about contraindications of medicine I required. Didn't check with a doctor, said it was my decision whether to take or not!

Many thanks for placing your posting on the Patient Opinion website. We were pleased to hear about the positive elements of your experience, but were disappointed to hear that the staff member’s manner and advice could have been better.

We would strongly encourage you to contact the Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals Trust’s Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) to discuss this matter in more detail. They can be contacted on: (01482) 623065, or by email on: pals.pals@hey.nhs.uk ; contacting PALS will then enable them to investigate your feedback further.

We value all feedback and if you would like to discuss this matter further with us, please do not hesitate to contact our own Patient Advice & Liaison Service on 01482 335409 or email on pals@hullpct.nhs.uk.
