Late Friday evening (about 11-40 pm) Tricia (my wife) and I arrived at the hospital having driven…read moredown from Swindon after receiving the news that Tricia's elder sister was not expected to be present by the morning. We were greeted at A & E by Linda who went above and beyond what I felt was her duty by escorting us to the lifts that would take us to Level 3. (Later I had an interesting chat with Linda about Pandy). At Level 3 we encountered Shelley, who like Linda was extremely helpful, and took us to the side-ward where Shirley was (and also Shirley's other sister and her husband. Immediately Tricia and I were offered tea or coffee. I was different and inquired about squash! It wasn't long before Shelley came back with coffee for my wife (Tricia) and squash for myself!! Shelley also asked if Tricia's younger sister (Diane) and her husband (Mike) wanted more tea - Shelley had also provided Diane and Mike with toast which was very much appreciated. We were then left alone. Later, when Shirley passed away (about 12-25 a.m. on the saturday morning), Shelley plus other staff (who we also apprecated) came into the side-ward, checked Shirley's condition, and clearly understood how we felt. One of the staff (I'm no good on names!) went through with us the procedure of what would happen next which was very much appreciated. After about 20 minutes we left to go to Blackwood (where Mike and Diane) lived. On behalf of my wife, Diane and Mike, and myself, I'd like to express our appreciation for the devoted care that the staff on Tretower Ward (not forgetting many others - too much to name even if we knew their names - who were involved in the care of Shirley) whilst she was at your hospital. Every blessing and success in your vacations, Ken Mumford - Swindon.

Do Not Come Here If You Need Urgent Medical Attention ‼‼ My…read moreMum was told to come here due to signs of cellulitis in her leg and they made her sat in a chair for FIVE DAYS which caused a dvt which spread to her lungs causing a Pulmonary Emboluism and was rushed to The Grange to be put in intensive care. Not only that but the staff were absolutely terrible and couldn't do their jobs properly, They gave her the wrong medication, didn't tell her certain things such as needing to lift her arm a certain way after having her arm balloon up from putting an iv in the palm of her hand, she had to be told by another patient nearby that she had to position her arm correctly to help the pain and swelling. The nurse just walked away and did absolutely nothing!!!!!! The doctors said she would need an MRI scan too but never said when, it took 5 days for this mri scan but by the time she had the MRI done, it was too late because sitting in a chair for 5 days caused the dvt, They also said she should've had a test for blood clots IMMEDIATELY but obviously this did not happen due to their neglecting. This was all preventable and she is now having issues which she is going to have for the rest of her life and she is limited to things she can do all because the staff at this hospital could not do their jobs.

Having only lived in Gloucester for a couple of years I can't speak for the entire hospital as I…read morehave only personally seen a small part of it. I had my baby here in December 2006 and it was a fantastic experience. The midwives were amazing and they did everything in their power to ensure that we stuck to my birth plan. I ended up having a waterbirth in the delivery suite (sadly the birth unit was shut for Christmas!) and it was everything I had dreamed that it would be. The aftercare was excellent and the wards were relaxed and friendly. I've also made three trips to the out of hours doctor, once for myself and once for each of my children. There's often a long wait, but the waiting room as fairly comfortable and there are plenty of toys for the little ones. It's certainly a lot better maintained than some of the hospitals I've been to.
