Admittedly, I'm picky about doctors and find it hard to find one that I both feel comfortable around and actually like. So it was a pleasant surprise to find some good doctors at this health centre. If I'm not mistaken, this is a son and daughter team. I have not seen Dr David C Downward, but my husband has and seemed happy with him. I have seen his daughter Dr. Heulwen S. Downward and really liked her. I haven't been that happy with a doctor since the one I had back home in the USA. She was friendly, but not overbearingly chatty which I can't stand (particularly in doctors, dentists, and hair dressers.) I would highly recommend this health centre, however if you have an appointment on a Thursday the centre is closed from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m., which can be really annoying if you forget this and show up early for a 2:00 appointment.

We took my nan here when she finally accepted she needed wheels, and she bought her very first granny mobile here. The staff were so friendly and patient, allowing her to test drive several models. The wheelchair she bought was quite cheaply priced, although I think the quality reflected that as she needed a replacement soon after. I have since heard the shop has become more specialised, and so the quality may have improved. The shop is a little inaccessible, which is a little ironic given its audience, and we required taxis to and from the shop, however a delivery service is available if you can't get out and about.

Well I must say, having visited hospitals all over the world as a traveller, there's a lot to be…read moresaid about the NHS, despite its faults! Arrowe Park is a fantastic hospital, I was born here, and have been here on several occasions since for treatment with various ailments. I've never had a bad experience, the hospital is always clean, the staff have always been professional and dedicated and I haven't died yet! A friend of mine was here not long ago suffering from a bad case of Pneumonia, and things didn't look good. However, with care and top medical attention, the staff at Arrowe Park soon had him back on his feet and in ship shape! As well as being a centre for medical excellence, the hospital has a cafe, a restaurant, a book and flower shop and a gift shop. It's basically got everything you'll need on tap if you have to stay here!

I have had dealings with this hospital since I was about five years old. My nan has been admitted…read moreinnumerable times with various illnesses of varying degrees, she has always been impressed by the standard of care and lavishes respect and thanks upon all of the staff. However, as I have grown older and am more aware of behaviours, language and the appropriate level of care required, I have to disagree with her. I believe my nan is thankful for any help and any painkillers and medication when she is ill, but in my opinion this is not enough. When a patient is admitted, especially for a long time I thin kthey deserve attention from and time with the relevant people, be it doctors, nurses or surgeons, and I don't feel she has got it. She was recently discharge from hospital and is still extremely sick, I think it was too soion for her to leave the hospital. When in Arrowe Park, which was just under a month, she was moved from ward to ward and nurse to nurse, none of which I was very comfortable with caring for her; they were brusque and blase and often rude. Doctors who looked younger than myself were diagnosing her but not listening to anything she had to say- which was highly relevant to her current condition, such as medication she was on or even the fact she had certain operations or conditions before! The diagnosis changed day to day and was never really fully explained to patient or family. The behaviour of one nurse in particular was disgusting- even nan could not forgive it. She was rude to visitors, horrid to patients- including a very old woman in the next bed who could not speak English, force feeding her roughly and admonishing her when her weak hands dropped something on the floor. Worst of all this nurse did not give my nan her tea until several hours after the rest of her bay which affected my nan' diabetes as she could not take her insulin. The nurse later confessed she did not know nan was diabetic (despite this being a diabetic ward!) she then proceeded on two occasions to give incorrect levels of insulin which caused serious sickness and blackouts. Disgusting

Alder Hey is a Children's Hospital, serving the North West. As a child lets just say i was a little…read moreaccident prone, so I had something of a season ticket to Alder Hey. Apart from the injuries themselves I have fond memories of the place. The staff were always very friendly, kind, caring and helpful. It was as if they couldn't do enough to help and make me better. Now as an adult I have returned to Alder Hey and the lovely atmosphere is still there. The staff are all lovely and seem to totally love their jobs. I have friends whose children have been inpatients or just visited clinics here, and they really cant praise the place enough. The main corridor is 1/4 mile long, but it is lined with murals and paintings on each of the 3 floors which makes it interesting, attractive and less scary for the visitors. This is a great hospital and I cant praise it enough.

Well despite all the organ storage trouble which has tarnished the name of Alder Hey over the last…read more10 years, this place has helped me live as normal a life as possible as a Haemophilia sufferer. In fact, it was a specialist Dr here that first diagnosed me as a sufferer after years of horrendous nose bleeds. I used to have to visit Alder Hey at least once a month for blood tests, and any time that I needed any dental work or operations, this was due to the fact that my blood couldn't clot properly and needed to be thickened before and during any treatment which I was at risk of bleeding throughout. I actually used to look forward to visiting here as the staff were always so friendly towards children, and the murals that decorate all the corridors used to fascinate me. This is a truly great children's hospital, unrivalled anywhere in the North of England!

My time at the Coronation Centre so far has been absolutely amazing and extremely rewarding. All of…read morethe staff and service users have made me feel really welcome, and they have shown an interest in me. Both the staff and service users are kind, caring, friendly, funny and supportive, and the staff have tried to get me as involved as possible in order to make sure that I have enough experience by the time that I leave. This has therefore given me a real insight into what it is like to be a support worker for adults with learning disabilities, and it has inspired me to want to go into this career after I have finished my College course. Personally, I feel that the service users have coped really well when getting to know me and seeing a new face, but also learning to trust me. Another thing that I have really enjoyed so far is that I have gotten to know both the staff and the service users, and I have interacted with the service users as a group and on a one - to - one, and it has been very rewarding to watch the service users laughing, smiling and enjoying themselves. All of the staff members have really positive and professional relationships with the service users, and they offer an outstanding level of care to them, which aims to successfully meet their needs, and puts the service users at the heart of the care that is being provided. Every single member of staff is amazing at their job, and I praise them for their hard work, dedication and commitment. I cannot fault them in anyway whatsoever.

We even got to see the dermatologist after waiting for months for our referal to come through. I really can't praise the staff enough. They were calm, professional and friendly.

Felt so unwelcome and a complete waste of money for the displeasure of being treated like crap. Do not recommend!
