Avoid this place. They discharged me in 2022 with septic arthritis (Staph Aureus infection) in my left shoulder and arm. This spread into my spine & right side. They eventually admitted me, operated and gave me 6 weeks IV antibiotics and discharged me for a second time with the infection still in my spine. They took 6 weeks to arrange a scan and recall me. They then failed to start IV antibiotics for a further 9 days, until I asked a different hospital to take over my care. I've been left with significant injuries to my upper body and right knee. Tameside Hospital have purposefully altered my records to hide their negligence - repeatedly! All the evidence is available, yet Tameside continue to refuse to meaningfully engage, to enable these to be corrected. read more

Tameside General Hospital - 2 copies of the same document - the top one is after Tameside illegal alterations, the bottom is before. Please avoid - Hospitals Near Me - Ashton Under Lyne, XGM

This hospital gets a lot of stick. I have heard it called Shameside. Please! Come on guys, this is a hospital. They look after you when you are sick and you don't pay anything! No hospital is perfect we all know that but Tameside in particular gets a beating in the newspapers and on the news. MRSA and C Dif have been topics of concern and also waiting times etc etc. So take it from a girl who works in the accident and emergency part, we all work hard. It is a hard job and i understand that people do not want to be there. We are helpful and we have millions of thank you cards, but I guess that part gets missed out. Anyway it is a lot better than it use to be. Massive improvements are being made right now and are ongoing. New buildings are being made, A new A&E is being built, new everything. Yes, it was in need of a update but the service is just as good as anywhere else! Its clean despite what you may think. Take a look at the website for information on the new buildings and what changes you may see in the future. read more
