In the start of 2025 I was taken to WHISTON HOSPITAL by ambulance to A &E there is spent 8 hours in…read morethe back of an ambulance then 3 days in the corridor before and allocation of bed on a specific ward was available as I need a separate room due to personal illness and being a C Diff carrier so it's a precaution. But I had to go back on the 14th Dec to A & E once I'd had my bloods done and assessed I A and E it was only a matter of 3 hours then I was allocated a bed on observation ward then treatment began. 24hrs later I was moved to the correct ward in an a room allocated bed. This was a vast improvement which not only assist ing my physical but mental well being in itself. I have being a long term patient in and out on a regular basis been given the best care available by the doctors and nurses at Whiston and can only commend and praise the work and the treatment I have been given. Whilst I was in A&E I must admit I did see a lot of footfall come and go wanting treatment which could've been acquired and was more suitable for the walk in centre locally at the Millenium or seen a doctor if they had rang the surgery to make and emergency appt. The life and capacity is being square out of A&E due to these factors. I would like to give a huge thankyou to the drs and nurses at Whiston Hospital. Whom along with treatment have not only shown me their care but with compassion and empathy also. Hats off to you Whiston Hospital you can only work with what you've got but within 6 months I myself have experienced a vast and impressive improvement. Thanking you Donna McLean

Poor care, my mother says she would rather die than go to Whiston!!…read more The place is new and soulless, clean and tidy, but no care, staff talk between themselves, while you stand waiting to ask for help. They managed to lose my mothers belongings, broke her hearing aid, they could not understand how important a hearing aid is, thinking shouting at a deaf person is the only answer. When you ask for info the Drs answer was I have not seen her, the nurse pulled out a scrap of paper from her pocket!! what happened to records? To telephone you need a password, but you have to go in to get the password, the system is just not right. Car parking a joke, no info on the web site, even parking attendants telling you to park on the grass, taxi ranks full of cars parked in the wrong place. Not enough disabled bays, so cars just dumped all over the area. WH Smiths is so expensive just to buy water or sweets, at least Costa Coffee was ok. All in all It was very disappointing, when the care is so bad for patients they say they will not press the care alarm again, it must be bad. Some nurses were lovely, but it was never the same staff each time you went so confusing and upsetting for elderly people. Come on Whiston, do some fine tuning, make the patients feel cared for, and improve the food, terrible compared to Newton. Its not only medicine that gets people better.

I have been to A&E there twice…read more First time I had a suspected fracture to my shin. I waited for 3 hours in pain and when I finally got to see a doctor the atmosphere in there was making me feel sick. I told him that I need to go out for some air and he said that if I do that then the bed would be given to someone else. I went home unseen. Second time I went in having sliced two of my fingers down to the bone at work. The triage nurse changed the bandage for me and told me to take a seat. Whilst I sat there, the waiting time went up from 30 minutes to 4 and a half hours. Again I went home unseen. I won't go back now unless I am dying. Even then I don't think a doctor would get round to seeing me until I am actually dead.

They were so friendly and made the whole operation almost enjoyable! The nurse, anaesthetist and surgeon all saw me within the first hour of arriving and the anaesthetist was incredibly thorough; she talked through my pre-existing conditions and thoroughly checked me over. The technician and post-op nurses were also so friendly and made me feel at ease! Very grateful.

I highly recommend this practice. Myself and my family have been patients here for a number of…read moreyears. We have practices that are closer to us but prefer to travel here as my closest clinic managed to lose our medics records and are horrendous. We tried Cavendish which is a short drive from our home but worth travelling a little further with the service they provide. I always manage to book an appointment for the day if I call at 0800hrs. When I make an appointment I will wait no longer than five minute to see the doctor or nurse. I get referred immediately with any issues I'm having. Also same for my seven year old daughter. Recently she got sent home from school due to UTI. I rang the practice at around midday to see her about arranging an appointment and she was seen the same day at 1530hrs. Also the staff and doctors had good bed side manner. Give this practice a go, you won't regret it.

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. The hospital in general just makes you not want to be treated anywhere else. The only downside is the parking, it's a shame they can't expand as a lot of people just park where they can.

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*

There are not so good at calling patients in for chronic disease check ups and really rely on you bringing yourself in for that. Reception is situated away from the waiting areas so you're less likely to ask those questions that pop into your head while you're waiting. If the doctor suggests you need to see the nurse for something, you have to make another appointment and come back another day. If you have tests done and the doctor is off when the results come back, you have to wait until they are back in work to find out.
