I came up from England to visit family who was not well and to help out one of the things I helped with was to bring my relative to hospital appointments. Now not being from around here I decided to do some research I looked the hospital up on the NHS website and looked at the map to find out where I was going turns out the Main outpatients department is not on the map on the website, we get to the hospital and the map is completely different and everything is in different places from what is on the map on the website, I noticed A LOT of signage that was not on "official signs" just laminated paper with information!
In the corridors instead of actual overhead signage there was again printed signs. This does not look professional.
At the appointment I had to take my relative for tests to be carried out to find out not only is the department not where it was on the website map but also not where it says on the hospital map so again we had to follow printed signs - I take it more than one clinic has been moved as we noticed a lot more printed self made signage
It makes the hospital look like it has no funds
none of the floors match floors are dirty and scuffed and dented
from walking in the door to walking out it felt like no one cared about the hospital or how it looks
