"The staff on ward 11 were fantastic ..."

About: Queen Elizabeth Hospital (Gateshead)

(as a relative),

What I liked

The staff on ward 11 were fantastic and very fast when my husband took ill on the ward a few days after being admitted and quickly transferred him to the critical care unit where he was for a few days before being trransferred to the Freeman.

What could be improved

It took three seperate visits to A&E to actually get my husband admitted to the hospital. I don't think the doctors believed how ill he was or how much blood he had lost until he was actually admitted and they saw it first hand.

Anything else?

I would not hesitate to use this hospital again.
