Happier with this hospital
April 8, 2024
weve been going to Southport hospital for pain management and i do prefer ormskirk, its easier to park, the hospital is nicer, the staff are nicer. In Southport you have to park miles away and walk where here isn't too far to get to. We used the pain clinic today and we were in and out, on time and no problems at all.
seating around the hospital would be helpful
April 8, 2024
i have to rely on transport to hospital this is sometimes an ambulance and sometimes a car. When its a car they cant fit my walking aid in so when i get here i have to walk from one side of the building to the other with a walking stick and it does take me a long time. I think some seating in the corridors would be great so we can rest on our way round, its a long way to walk all in one.
communication with patients

i use the diabetic clinic a lot and they are very good. they are always on time and the staff are lovely. The car park wasn't too bad today either but im presuming that's because its half term.
struggle with getting around the hospital
April 8, 2024
i have parked in car park A but my appointment is at the other end of the hospital, you cant park on the other one its always full. I use a walking stick and have to lean on the walls on my walk to the appointment. I think it would benefit from some seating scattered around the corridors so that patients can have a rest whilst getting to their appointment.
Parking isnt great and is confusing
April 8, 2024
parking at this hospital is confusing, as you come in to the car park on the left there are very faded disabled parking bays but no sign, so i don't know if you can park there or not and cars park there that aren't in the bays, i think there's a lot of confusion there around where the disabled bays are and where others can park.
communication with patients is good

i had my appointment sent to me via the post today and i prefer that, i have been told that they will eventually go digital but that's excluding so many people who don't use the internet and don't have access to technology. My care today has been great, i can never complain about Ormskirk hospital they are very good.
maternity services are very good

i have been to the maternity clinic today to have a check up with my midwife and it went really well. I went in on time and i was happy with what the midwife told me and she explained everything to me.
very good service

i have regular bloods at the hospital to check my kidneys and i think they are great. They always text or ring me when i need anything and i am always kept up to date. I find this very helpful as sometimes you can get behind with appointments so the reminders really help.
Very good service

The hospital have been nothing but great with me. My relative has undergone cancer treatment and the care was so good from the team.
Waiting 3hours plus at Walk In Centre
October 25, 2023
I injured my thumb and attended the Ormskirk Walk In Centre on Monday 24th October I was triaged then sent for xray quite quickly 3 hours later I was still waiting so I was so frustrated and angry that I left. I spoke to receptionist before I decided to leave and got told that NHS 111 patients took priority over other people like myself that had just walked in. Therefore the next day 25th Oct I phoned NHS 111 got told to go the walk in centre for 10.30am seen and necessary treatment given.
