Royal Blackburn Hospital

My wife had a stoma but at RBH they thought it was trapped wind. When they eventually found out about the stoma she had to have an emergency operation. Also they put a tube down her throat for a few weeks and didn't remove it which meant that her mouth can only open a small amount now. I have to use a screw to try to widen it still. She was moved to different wards continuously and to different hospitals at Pendle and somewhere in Colne. They kept her alive but there were numerous complications and problems we are still facing today due to mistakes made by the hospital.

The service is fine, but I don't like having to travel so far for an outpatients appointment

I came for my pre op in Blackburn bur my operation was in Burnley which I don't like. They told me to stop taking blood pressure tablets 3 days before operation but it should have been 24 hours. This meant I could not have operation.

Times that the letters say to come for appointments do not fit with the bus times, so then I have to phone up to change. I don't know what people would do if they couldn't phone up.

Paying for parking is terrible and the traffic around the hospital has been badly managed.

It was excellent as well as the after care.

I visited General Outpaitents. I was seen on time.The consultant explained everything clearly.
