I was admitted to the McGill Ward on 30 Jan with a possible clot on the lung. The ward was very…read morebusy, I was seen quite quickly and all necessary tests were made quickly. Thank goodness it was a chest infection but was kept in overnight because my oxygen levels were low. My only complaint was the ward was dirty and looked run down and tacky. The loo was horrible, not clean and patients urine samples were left there. Even mine! I was told to give a sample leave it there and a nurse would sort it out. My sample stayed in exactly the same place where I had put and was still there when I left, the same goes for the other samples, they never moved.

All credit to the MFU Dept, who assessed, advised and gave me excellent treatment. Top marks for…read moretheir attention and service. There may be criticisms of this hospital, but the attitude, care, understanding and help I witnessed whilst waiting to be seen was outstanding. Future patients should not be put off by such reviews.

MATERNITY: Having given birth to my first 2 children in the US - where everything is covered by…read moreHealth Insurance and you get to control most things about your birth experience (because you're paying), I'll admit it was with some trepidation that I undertook the NHS version of obstetrics. However, having been put off by Queen Alexandra's Hospital in Portsmouth by their lack of physical tour (you have to get by with a substandard YouTube video), and also feedback from others that it was a busy hospital and somewhat akin to a sausage machine (I had one story of someone being in and out in 12 hours - and they didn't necessarily want to be processed so quickly), I decided to opt for Chichester. It was the right choice - indeed quieter, albeit a bit older looking, but still fit for purpose. This maternity ward is very well run, the midwife was very good and I got the epidural that I wanted (needed!) for my third baby. I would definitely recommend this hospital to any nervous mums. Getting the tour and having a chance to ask questions and familiarize oneself with the layout was really helpful in orientating me to the NHS way and allaying any fears/answering questions. My only pick up point was infant security. As I left the hospital the receptionist let me swan out - no outgoing checks, no bracelet checking, no escort to the door, nothing. It made me wonder what the protocol was should there be an attempted baby theft...

I HAD suffered lower back pain for many years. Visiting umpteen Physiotherapists and Osteopaths…read moreover the years was unsuccessful. Thankfully, I was introduced to Elaine Cooke, the Owner/Practitioner at Homewood, through Networking. I was immediately drawn to her, as her ethos of helping people very much aligned to my own, as a Hypnotherapist. Still slightly sceptical, I relied on my previous qualification, as a Sports & Remedial Massage Therapist, to give me a slight edge in determining if Elaine & I would be a good fit. I needn't have been concerned. Her years of experience, coupled with an innate empathy resulted in me being pain free for the first time in decades. She has since treated my wife, my daughter and has received many referrals from my Networking contacts. My undying Thanks. Love & Respect X

I think it is a wonderful doctors surgery.

My appointment here was rushed and unprofessional. I searched long and hard for a dentist in Southampton, and after reading a couple of good reviews about Ocean dental I decided it must be OK. I would not recommend this place to anyone, that's if you can actually get them to answer the phone and get an appointment. Definitely a no go.
