"Excellent staff from start to finish"

About: North Tyneside General Hospital

I have today had my mother in law to North Tyneside General hospital for two appointments and because of the fantastic staff I came across I wanted to write a review.

We arrived at the hospital about 8.50am. I had my car pulled up to an entrance to get her out where a member of staff was being dropped off and asked if I needed help. She got her out of the car and saw her to a wheelchair whilst I parked.

We then went for a CT X-ray where again the staff excelled. They suggested I went to Endoscopy to see if we could be fitted in straight away rather than come back for an appointment at two which I did.

Every member of staff that we came across on the Enoscopy unit were fantastic. They also all agreed it was freezing in there. They all had a smile on their face, very polite and put you very much at ease. I can’t praise them enough.

To finish I was again trying to get my mother in law back into the car when a young lady who was a member of staff offered to help and then took the wheelchair back into the hospital for us.

Thanks again for all the hard working staff I came across this morning, you were all fantastic including the cleaner on X ray doing a great job.

Dear Helen,

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful review. Your mother in law’s experience, and your own whilst accompanying her, are exactly what we aim to achieve with our patients, and it really means a lot to know that we got it right for you both. Our teams in the X-Ray department and Endoscopy will be so thrilled to read about your appreciation, a fantastic way to start their weekends.

All the best,

Jessica
