Attended a maternity ward visit with other birth workers and Doulas. Very clean ward, lots of rooms, neonatal unit nice. Cosy birthing rooms. My takeaway was how the community midwives made me feel . Things have far improved since I gave birth here in 2012.
This was my first time visiting this hospital and I was horrified by the exterior of the building. It was cheap cladding and paint peeling off. I proceeded into the building and there was no main reception desk, so I was lost. The was a cafeteria as soon as you enter the building, and the food smell just hits you in the face. The hospital itself is very outdated to say the least, the corridors/wards had overfilled bins, the toilet had a used patients gown left out - This is a serious hygiene risk. The hospital looked like a old haunted Tudor times primary school. Nonetheless, the doctors who looked after me, were lovely. But this hospital is in dire need of a refurbishment.
Great support from the staff. Visited for the first time, the staff were friendly and helpful. I can see great teamwork and professionalism. Appointments were maintained as scheduled. The patient waiting areas were great accessible toilets. There were also good parking spaces.
I had a CT scan today and I’m pleased for the helpful nurses and team work. They so professional and quick to do the appointments. No long queue, I come a bit early from my appointment time. There is good waiting area for patients, toilets and accessible toilet available in the waiting area. Vendors available out side the MRI & CT Scan Department, just in the main entrance of City Hospital. I been told, City Hospital will move to the new hospital Midland Metropolitan University Hospital by the end of October or early November this year 2024.
Came to City hospital after a referral from my dentist. The staff in oral surgery department were very friendly, professional and caring. Clean and relaxed environment that helped the procedure go smoothly. Many thanks
Have never had a bad experience at city. From dog bitten back sides to giving birth to both of my children here. Nurses and Drs are always ran off their feet and always give as much care and concern as they can. My children when having to go to children's A&E are always treated fantastically too!
I went in to check my knee as was painful for couple of days and couldn’t see improvements. Was seen straight away by Nick who was very friendly and helpful taking me to the X-ray and seeing me as soon as done with the X-ray. Was really good at explaining me what it was and what to do to feel better! Also referred me to a specialist to reassured me that I should be fine. Thanks again and appreciate your help!
Went to the A&E walk in yesterday. Was seen within the hour by Triage and out straight into a bed because my heart rate was so high and wouldn’t drop. Staff were very efficient and friendly, did all the necessary tests, struggled to take blood because my veins don’t like to come to the surface, but they still persevered. From start to finish I was there for around 6 hours.
Great facilities from start to end. At the Enterance the security guard checks your appointment letter. Then guides you where to go. After entering your hands are sanitised and you are givin a new face mask. You have to wear one even if you are wearing your own. Then you go to a self check in counter and mark your attendance through the bar code on apt letter and few details about yourself. Then you are guided by the staff to concerned department. You wait in the waiting area for your turn. Chairs in waiting area are kept 2 meters apart. First a nurse takes you to check temprature and height and BP etc. Later you are called to be checked by Doctor. Throughout guidance and SOPs strictly followed. Well done Recently i went for a walk in covid vaccine. The building is easy to find and has no direction from the main hospital entrance and i had to walk here and there to reach it. Anyway, one i got there it was all great. From start to end every single step was guided and explained properly and i was given my Jab with full prior and post instructions. The finding part was only diffucult so the pictures i have added are for the covid jab walk in center. Was open toll 6pm on Saturday, thts the best part. In short, you go on the back of the main hospital entrance building and walk straight towards the car parks. Cross both car parks and you will see a new building Constitution, cross that building and you will see the signs following the area. The picture with green and yellow bins is the place for Jabs.
