Very good care on cardiac ward

March 12, 2024
my relative went into the cardiac ward at royal Preston hospital and they were so good with her. They really looked after her and she said she slept the best she has ever slept before.

Very good initial ward but poor cardiac ward

March 12, 2024
my relative was taken to the acute frailty unit at RPH and they were incredible with him. They thoroughly checked him over and gave him a full MOT. They figured out it was his medication that was making him poorly. They then moved him to the cardiac ward but unfortunately the care there wasn't very good. They took away his Zimmer frame and it was noticed that the buzzers weren't being answered very quickly. I went to see him and he was bursting for the toilet and said he'd been ringing it for some time but no one came. I was very happy when he got moved off this ward which is a shame as my first experience was very good with the acute frailty ward.

Waiting times are ridiculous

Accident and emergency services

After being told to attend A&E by 111 I arrived and was promptly triaged, sent to urgent care and was eventually seen by doctor who didn't listen to me, fixated on one symptom and sent me for blood tests, three hours later saw different doctor, explained all over again then sent to medical assessment unit, four hours in and I'm still waiting to be seen

Mixed care recieved

February 12, 2024
Royal Preston hospital were good with me when I first went in and they were quick and effective when it came to surgery after my scan. The only thing I wasn't happy with was I kept getting moved from ward to ward. The care at RPH was 80% good but they were mostly agency staff and I could see staff searching holidays whilst on shift when patients were calling for help. There were also students who were left unattended, one student tried to get someone out of bed that was bed bound, I had to tell him he couldn't get her out.

Lack of care

January 10, 2024
I had a stroke at the end of July 2023 and was admitted to ward 21a. On admission I was given a form to sign so that I could leave the ward to go for a smoke. On many occasion whilst leaving the ward I left the the hospital site and went to to the local shop and café and not once did the ward ask where I had been they had no knowledge I had left the hospital. On one occasion a nurse probably a junior nurse by the colour of her uniform plunk medication in front of me when asked what it was I was informed it your medication when I asked her what it was the same reply it was like extracting teeth eventually I obtained the information. When I asked the consultant to see the scan to which they were referring to I was told no it is not for you and the screen was turned in such away I could not see. I had to demand to have a scan done again as an outpatient and told I was discharging myself enough was enough.

Exceedinlgly long waits for scan results

January 4, 2024
I have been waiting over 66 days for the results of an MRI scan and I am concerned that no-one has looked at the results to let me know about the progress of my condition. I am only able to make use of the neurology specialists at this hospital and I am very anxious to find out about how I am doing with my condition. This is something that is not unique to this hospital in my experience.

Staff were amazing

January 4, 2024
Had minor surgery in the Day Care Centre and the staff were amazing, really caring and compassionate. Everything was explained to me fully and it felt like everything was well organised. Also visited the outpatients clinic to have stiches removed and they were good there too. The only thing I found uncomfortable was walking through to the theatre in my dressing gown and slippers as I'm very self-conscious. But a minor thing in an otherwise good experience

Excellent maternity experience

Maternity

I had a very good maternity experience. I was under RPH and I was under the consultant as I already suffered with migraines and mental health. I was also supported by the tulip team with my diabetes.

Really efficient and quick, lovely staff

Medical assessment unit
November 30, 2023
I had a pre-operative assessment, I was told to allow for an hour and a half but was out in under an hour. Was really quick and everything ran really smoothly. The staff were friendly and overall it was a pleasant experience. I have to say though that parking and paying for parking was a nightmare!

Experience of PALS

November 28, 2023
i don't feel the PALS team listen to me, i have been to complain and i felt they were defending what happened instead of listening to my side of the story.
