Harrogate Hospital is clean and well-run. The ER wait is usually very minimal and the staff are very informative and helpful. The nurses who did my blood work were very friendly and nice. I've never had a bad experience here. My friends who've given birth here have had nothing but good things to say about their experiences, too. Although I hope I won't have to come back here (obviously!) if I ever needed medical treatment, I'd feel secure going to Harrogate Hospital.

Salford Royal is a large, modern hospital, around five miles from Manchester city centre, if…read moreheading here from the city centre, you can hop on the 34/67/100 buses, and it takes around 20 minutes or so, which would be your best bet, as parking is a nightmare. One of the largest hospitals in the area, but may feel under-appreciated or underused with the Manchester Royal Infirmary only a short drive away, which is the largest hospital in the country by the number of beds. The hospital was redeveloped in the early 2010s which was much needed, and the refreshed look still feels modern to this day, it is fairly easy to get around the hospital and find where you need to go, the environment is clean, and the staff are friendly, with overly good standards. I did find a huge contrast between certain areas and wings of the hospital, even down to the modern features and comfort of the chairs, but it is the NHS... you can't expect too much. It's surprisingly easy to get through to someone at the hospital's switchboard, and I was passed to my consultant's secretary and appointment line in a matter of minutes, which is how it should be, while other hospitals can be much more inconsistent. Mobile Signal in the hospital is weak, likely down to equipment interfering with the connection. 4*

In my experience, this "hospital" operates at a level of filth and incompetence that is genuinely…read moredangerous. I waited over six hours for a simple blood test and never received the results. As bad as that is, the conditions in the waiting room were far worse. There was wet vomit on the floor, dried and fresh blood on chairs and tiles, and the staff barely attempted to clean any of it. They completely ignored basic CDC/OSHA infection-control standards--no proper PPE, no hospital-grade disinfectant, no isolation of contaminated areas, and no biohazard procedures for bodily fluids (which are considered potentially infectious materials in every credible medical setting). The staff in the waiting area seemed untrained and unengaged accept to make jokes about the patients..People in obvious distress received no assistance, basic triage didn't exist, and questions were answered with confusion or incorrect information. The lack of professional etiquette, urgency, or even basic competence was shocking. A medical facility should be clean, safe, and staffed by professionals who understand patient care. This place was the opposite. It felt like a butcher shop disguised as a healthcare facility--and the patients are the meat. And honestly, a real butcher shop would have handled blood and sanitation far better. If you value your health or safety, avoid this place. What I witnessed was unsanitary, unsafe, and far below any acceptable medical standards.

My experience have all been with the Minor Injuries unit (broken toes, sprained ankles etc) and they've always dealt with me quickly and easily. I was last here last week with a sore foot I'd got while running. In the space of less than an hour I was seen by a nurse, x-rayed, sent back to the nurse and told what was wrong with me - because it's a way out of Leeds, you always get such quick service and treatment, and the nurses are always very competent and professional I find. It's a much less stress free occasion than the A & E of the hospitals in the centre of Leeds, so I'd always choose it over those. Splendid.

The most recent operation involved a two night stay. The nurses were fantastic and treated us both with a high standard of care and respect.

North Manchester General Hospital is one of the older hospitals in Greater Manchester, being…read morefounded in the early 1900's, making it over 100 years older than the new hospitals in Manchester city centre. It is in the Crumpsall area of Manchester, and is in fact the only remaining hospital in North Manchester, which it of course takes its name from. It does have an Accident and Emergency of here, of which I've found to be old-fashioned inside, with slightly longer than average waiting times. The overall look and feel of the hospital, really did feel old and old-fashioned and in dire need of refurbishment, especially when compared to other hospitals, it really didn't feel like a nice place to be (even for a hospital). Parking here isn't great either, there is only limited spaces and you do have to pay which I strongly despise, the location isn't really near anywhere central other than a bus stop (with services into the city center which take a long amount of time, and a number 16 bus which runs every 2 hours into Rochdale and Middleton down Rochdale Road). Overall, poor overall feel, poor parking and overall poor nature of this hospital where I feel it is only surviving and still standing through being the only hospital in North Manchester, sadly warrants a single one-star I'm sorry to report.

Although over time services have been transferred to other hospitals within Greater Manchester, there are still many services offered here, which are useful for people who live within Rochdale. The hospital can be hard to access if you don't have a car, it is almost a mile from Rochdale town centre and the bus which serves the hospital is not very frequent. This is made even more frustrating when considering the hospital car parking charges, which seems extortionate for a hospital. The drop-off and pick-up area is free, so if you can have someone waiting in a car, it will be cheaper. The staff seemed nice enough, I was in and out quickly, but this was down to getting the last X-ray appointment of the day, and obviously, the staff were like me in the sense that they just wanted to get home. There is a small Cafe inside. 3* - The hospital is fine, much better within the trust in terms of facilities and accessibility with everything being gradually transferred out.

Unless you have been in the same situation you won't know what I mean. At the same time I was there there was a drunk idiot visiting also(I was drunk too but not in a twatty way) and he was being really nasty and kicking off with the nurses and staff. It seems as though they decided to take it out on me and treated me like I was him. Very unprofessional if you ask me. I have to visit every few months or so to see my specialist Nurse and it is always a decent experience,as long as I don't fall over in the snow!!!!

Let me first start by writing that The NHS is a wonderful national institution that has seen me…read morethrough many operations safely and I admire and respect its employees. However, when my Dad had his operation cancelled, TWICE, THE DAY BEFORE, enough was enough and he went private. Being admitted to The Spire was like checking into a four star hotel. No queues, no waiting time, no stressed out nurses and sleep deprived junior doctors, No busy wards with dubious bed neighbours telling you all about their prolapsed piles, no, no, no, The Spire is private darling and that would never do!! It had free parking, a lovely, friendly receptionist and pleasant waiting area which we were in for almost a minute before a porter came to fetch dad and introduce him to his room. Quite honestly, having had no experience of private hospitals before, the room was not quite as elaborate as I expected. Maybe the chaise longue and swags and tails curtains in my imagination were a bit farfetched. The Spire's bedroom looked like a nice Premier Travel Inn with a TV and a lovely white en-suite bathroom. I suppose I was regarding the whole situation from the wrong perspective. The Spire is not about the decor, it is about providing excellent quality individual care in an environment where a patient can choose their own consultant, experience tremendous facilities and have their ailments addressed promptly. Actually, it was well posh! Dad had to choose from a menu of full English or Continental breakfast, a typical dinner was chicken and sweetcorn soup and prawn salad- he didn't want to leave!. All the staff were so friendly and there were no visiting restrictions. Dad was more than amused to realise that most of the patients were there for cosmetic surgery and I must say that I did have a look at what procedures are performed there ( boobs, nose job, lipo, tummy tuck, eyelid surgery and bingo wings...... I was just curious). Great hospital, lovely staff and dad received the treatment he deserved.
