People complain, non stop, about the NHS and the treatment received. I for one can never…read morecomplain. I have had nothing but fantastic service from this hospital. Staff are friendly and brilliant working very hard. The hospital building has been renovated to a reasonable standard. All I can say is, stop moaning and be grateful.
Most reviews are old as I found this a great NHS hospital. Staff are helpful and friendly. I was…read moredue for 'minor' heart surgery and directed to the Essex CTC at the rear of the hospital. Modern area with nice wards and consultation rooms. My only gripe is the cost of parking. Seems they are fleecing the unwell.

A totally fantastic hospital department. I arrived early for an ICD implant and was greeted, shown…read moreto my bed by a very friendly member of the nursing staff. Made to feel comfortable until it was my turn to 'go under the knife'. Everything was explained to me in terms that most would understand before the procedure was carried out. During the procedure, under local anaesthetic, all was described as the surgeon carried out his skills. Wheeled out into the ward for recovery with a welcoming cup of coffee, toast and a yoghurt (I hate yoghurt but ate it LOL). Allowed to relax but with checks every fifteen minutes. Later a sandwich, coffee and banana. Great staff. Finally, released in the late afternoon feeling great. Loads of people knock our NHS. Hope they don't to my face because I think we are so lucky. Thanks to all the staff in this department.
My daughter tried to commit suicide last year, she was attached to the east team for three weeks,…read morethey then said they would put her in contact with coombewood, at first they told her that she was not on their books. Great she has metal health problems they don't know about her. Since she tried to commit suicide she has had two appointments with coombewood neither of them was to see a specialist or talk through her problems., since then she has cut herself quite severely mutilating her leg from the hip to the knee with hundreds of long sweeping cuts. Called the team they said call back at 8.30 this was on Saturday morning 25 th jan. she called back at 8.30 and was then told to call back on Monday morning. If you live in Essex please don't have a mental illness as the care is non existent. Thankyou from a concerned mother
My son has been under the care of the team at Coombewood for many years since he was diagnosed with…read moreparanoid schizophrenia over 20 years ago. Sadly, he died suddenly this year when his heart failed. The team at Coombewood are amazing in their care, commitment and dedication to supporting their clients, and I have the highest regard for them. I held my son's P.O.A. and was his main carer: roles that were respected by the Coombewood team, who included me as part of his support network. They were always easy to talk with and could be relied upon to make contact swiftly if they were not immediately available. They work incredibly hard in difficult circumstances, especially as they are involved in the care and support of people who are so often dismissed within our society, and they continue even though many of their clients will never 'get better ' but require on going help throughout their lives. My son could not have been cared for better than by these remarkable people who gave him respect and treated him as a valued individual even when his psychosis and paranoia made his world such a difficult place for him to cope with. Coombewood clinic and the staff who work there go to great lengths and provide, not only an excellent standard of care, but also a safe place for those who find their world a frightening and confusing one. I only wish that more funding was available for Mental Health Care, especially considering their huge workload.
This used to be under Bupa as Hartswood hospital, some years back and when I had reason stay there,…read morebut more recently it is Now Bupa Spire. I had reason be a visitor there whilst my wife underwent an operation and was surprised to see that all but for a coat of paint or two, and the beds being change from luxury beds to those hospital beds no more suited to wheel you straight into the operating room, not much had change. All very clean and sterile looking, which was nice to see and the staff were very attentive, but where slow on the uptake when it came to offering me any refreshment whilst waiting for wife to return from surgery. Okay it was still streets ahead of my local new so called high tech hospital!
Without doubt, the worse private hospital I have ever experienced. It was not for me, but my wife,…read morewe were there because of a surgeon. None of the nursing staff were aware of the procedure she was having. One or two were most unprofessional in their attitude (one asked for professional advice for herself as my wife was flat on her back recovering). The outpatients waiting area is a scrum. Equipment didn't work, food was poor. Maybe it was only our experience, but there's no way we'd go back there.

My father has been there 22 times in the last year and hes still going strong at 92 thanks to this hospital. Having said that there seems to be too many chiefs n not enough Indians. Nobody seems to know what the other is doing or has done, never see the same doctor so you hear repeats and totally conflicting reports. Toilets are kept clrean but an ocean of stinky cigarettes greet you at the entrance. In the world of the tumbled down decrepid national health I would say this place was fair to middling!
This used to be known as Farnborough Hospital, but the current complex must be less than 7 years…read moreold and benefits from a modern design and layout. I'm not going to comment about individual services - with the NHS it can be entirely down to who you are due to see, about what and when. So, instead I'll concentrate on the facilities available and access: The hospital is served by at least 5 buses, but only the 261 and R1 actually enter the grounds. Most ward visiting hours tend to be 2-4pm and 6-8pm, though the nursing staff are pretty flexible if you give 'em advance warning. Visitors are pretty well catered for: there is a coffee bar and restaurant open during daytime hours, a newsagent which stays open longer and various vending machines. Tip: Finding a parking space at peak times is enough to give you a coronary however (as do the charges), so I recommend using the Sainsbury's car park next door. The hospital is pretty quick to get to from most places, as it is on the A21.
Poor service. I…read morewent to the urgent care centre and was very disappointed with the service I'm 17th weeks pregnant and was experiencing a lot of pain and feeling generally unwell. I was also worried about my unborn child. The dr that I saw was so pantronising. And spoke down to me as thou I had wasted her time, and was suggested that my pain was just due to growing pains! Please I dont choose to want to sit for two hours on my only day off to be told this. It turned out that I had uti. I asked the dr if she could check the baby's heartbeat as I was concerned she advised that they didn't offer this service due to patient misuse (which she was directing at me)!!! I have worked for the NHS for 18 years. And have never been so disappointed with the service.

Just a quick visit here to pick up some results…read more Whilst I had an evening appointment (after 6pm) this hospital was pretty busy for this appointment time. The hospital seems to be in the middle of no-where. It was dark and I was driving but it didn't feel like there was a close station. There is parking on site and this hospital has a nice remote, green setting. As I say, it was a busy time by all accounts. i did have to wait for my appointment, not sure what the delay was. Staff whom I met were polite and there was the availabilty of free beverages to be had. Waiting area was clean and comfortable and free wifi available.

Pros None given…read more Cons I think this is one of the worst hospitals ever. The staff is rude whether you have been admitted, are a day patient or an emergency case. The day staff and the night staff are absolutely horrid. The waiting periods are really long and god forbid if you were to get sick on the weekend and be taken to the emergency room. You could be dying in the waiting area but they will tell you to sit there for two hours at least. They even take time to dispense medicines which can take even up to 48 hrs. The toilets are filthy and wards also leave a lot to be desired. There is absolutely no patient doctor relationship because you never see the doctor but instead are surrounded by noisy rude nurses. God help us from this shambles of a hospital.
