"Awful experience, extremely unprofessional"

About: Stepping Hill Hospital

Anything else?

I recently had to go to the womens unit, gynaecology for treatment.

My doctor wasn't on shift but they hadnt replaced him which the nurse openly told me so

I had to wait for over 90 minutes for them to find a doctor for the clinic.

I wasn't talked through the process or asked to sign anything, I was treated like I was in the way and they just wanted me in and out.

I had the procedure done then was told to get ready and go and they would contact me within 4 weeks, I was appalled by the complete lack of care or professionalism at this hospital. I left very upset and after 6 weeks of worrying I contacted my doctors and got them to chase up my results. After numerous different answers from the staff on this unit I was told i needed treatment. I'm obviously currently in the process of being referred to another hospital where I will get the care and attention I deserve.
