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.

The staff on Ward 12 (orthopaedics) are excellent. I went in for 11.30am for day surgery on my hand…read moreand the only down side was being last of the day (I went into theatre at 6pm). 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.

Arrived at the hospital for a scan on the back of my legs…read more In and out very quickly. Clean hospital with free tea and coffee facilities for patients. Only waited 5 minutes to be called in to see the consultant. Friendly nurse & consultant. The only thing I would say is there is a very small car park at the back. If you have an appointment get there early. Not many places to park in and around the surrounding areas either. This stops from me giving it 5 stars. Good hospital friendly staff & I was seen very quickly :)

The doctors are very good, friendly and easy to talk to you don't get the feeling that they are above you. Getting appointments is really easy no long waits, and on the day of your appointment it dosen't seem like they are constantly running behind like some practices!. Theres a small play area for the children to keep entertained while you wait, and plenty of seating available too, it's clean and very accesible for pushchairs and wheelchairs. The parking is good too its never really full so you won't worry about finiding a space. I really can't fault them.

I recently had to visit this hospitals to have some tests. I have never been before as I have just…read moremoved to the area. Parking is at the bottom of a hill so it is a little walk - it is £1.70 for 4 hours, something I begrudge paying, as I feel it is a tax on the sick. There are the usual outpatients departments, accident and emergency and general surgery. I went inside to the enquiry desk and was welcomed by the assistant. She directed me to the blood test section, I took a ticket, waited my turn and was seen within 5 minutes. I went to the x-ray section (just across the hall) and again only had to wait around 15 minutes. The staff were very helpful and the hospital was very clean and well run. There were soap dispensers everywhere to protect against the spread of germs. All in all, a good experience.

Large NHS hospital which does what it has to, to an acceptable standard…read more As with many parts of the NHS there are woeful inefficiencies, and patients can be kept waiting around for inordinate amounts of time. Whether thats in A&E or on a hospital ward. At an estimated £900 per night per patient, it should be in their best interests to put everything in place to allow a patient to leave as soon as practicably possible. Its a large hospital and I have encountered differing experiences from the medical staff. From wonderful doctors and nurses who take time to explain things to you and really have a caring manner, to some nurses and health care assistants who are clearly there because they need a job and don't really have a great caring nature. Lots of parking available, though the only option os to pay for 24 hours at a cost of £3. If your relative is in hospital for 2 weeks, this cost really mounts up. You also have to put your car reg into the machine, to make sure that you don't share your ticket with anyone else! It is possible to park in the estate on the other side of Plodder Lane for free, and then its a 5-7 minute walk to the main entrance. Parking is free for blue badge holders.

To the left is a nice modern waiting area with a fancy free coffee machine for those that sit. Visting various rooms every one was clean and of a high standard. Every staff member I encountered always acknowledged me and greeted me in a friendly manner. My room I stayed in was basic and everything leading up to the operation was good. After the procedure the nurses were frequent to ask me if needee anything food/drink wise . However they did continue to leave my door open which left me with a restless night. In the morning I was offered anything I wished to eat and drink. Overall this is a lovely hospital with great staff.
