This time, I was sent to Victoria Hospital. It was fairly easy to get to, with both train and bus stops near by. I took the bus to get here and it was an easy hop off and back on kind of stop right near the hospital. Walking up, I'm not sure if it was the day or what, but it's very peaceful in the area, I even mentioned it to my guy when walking up. There is a nice little sculpture garden which just adds to the niceness of the place. The building is quite new (not sure how new) but some of the hospitals I've been in around here are surely much older than this one. The entrance is quite open and bright and there is a wee cafe just to the left where patients and visitors alike can enjoy a cuppa. There are signs posted everywhere, so it's quite easy to find where you're going, even though I did get lost coming out, but I was eventually guided to where I needed to go. The staff are friendly and I was in and out with not too much of a wait. I'm always early anyway, so I expect to wait a tiny bit either way. I'm not a huge fan of hospitals (who is anyway), but this one is quite nice.

After a punctual arrival to the same day admission I was met with kind and welcoming nurses who took my name and got me seated. After a short wait I was met by the anaesthesiologist to go over the operation and then the surgeon. Both were well informed and kept me as ease. After a brief stint in the pre op room I was taken down to the bed I'd be knocked out on for a couple hours. I was wheeled calmly to the room, injected with some awfully cold fluids and work up two hours later feeling like a dog who just returned from the vets. Sore and feeling sorry for myself, I was met with dinner and drinks and just the most lovely team of dedicated nurses. minus leaving like I was walking 9 months pregnant and a little unsure if I can reproduce or not, I was well looked after and well fed. Only room for improvement is making the fluid pumped into me room temperature, maybe heat it up in the microwave before or leave it on the radiator. Cheers, Tim.

My appointment was on a Saturday, super early in the morning (8am) and I was able to get parking easy enough. It's free on the weekends which is a huge help as I had forgotten to bring cash with me that morning. Walking in, it was like a ghost town, but I was able to speak to the information desk personel and was pointed in the direction I needed to go. Since I was early, they were able to take me in before the person who was meant to be there but never showed up. Score. I was taken in to the MRI room by a really nice lady and was told exactly what was going to happen. After I was put in to place on the bed, I was asked if I wanted to listen to music since the machine is quite loud. Since it was around Christmas time when I was there, they had Christmas music to listen to which made my day. i was in and out of there in about 45 minutes, which wasn't too painfully slow. The staff here are really friendly and helpful and I didn't mind my visit in the slightest.

I hate talking about people like this but the smell that was coming from her and the attitude that i was greeted with first thing definitely made me never want to be a patient there. This is not the standard that you expect from a private hospital, needless to say i wont be back and I would not recommend it to anyone else. If you are looking for a private hospital please go to Ross Hall.

Right, who the hell designed this place?…read more I've not seen as many confused looking people in one place since evolution was taught in my high school in Paisley (who you callin' a monkey!). Now I'm pretty sure it's not just me, but the design of this place is just wrong in so many ways. I'm not gonna bore you with any of the details, but it's suffice to say that on you're visit here you'll turn around at some point and realise that you should infact be going the other way... and be two floors down. Oh and another thing. Bank machine please? I think they might (might have one in the shop on the main floor, but when that shuts?) Oh and another thing. Food people! This hospital, or certainly the section I was in, is a maternity hospital, so will at times play host to a bunch of hungry dads to be. With the canteen shutting on weekends (wtf? Babeis don't do weekends??) this means that any hungry dad with need to remain just that... hungry! It's three star, but barely. I may well update when the babe arrives!

The first time I was here I was induced. I found the staff in the ward to be overworked and as a…read moreconsequence not very nice to women who were in a lot of pain. I was told repeatedly that I couldn't possibly be in labour as it hadn't been long enough, given pethedine without being checked and as a consequence of that had a baby who wouldn't feed because he was too tired. I must give praise to the staff who eventually delivered my son. They were in the room within seconds of being called and worked quickly to avoid any long term damage to him. As a result he's a normal child despite having a very traumatic birth. On the post natal ward my baby was taken out of the crib and placed in an incubator without me being told anything and then when I visited the loo I came back to find him shoved up a random woman's jumper apparently they were trying to keep him warm! He was very sick and it was brushed off as just something babies do. I later found after a deal of upset and worry that he had gastric reflux and couldn't keep a thing down. My second visit was a whole lot more pleasant than the first. I had my baby at home and was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance to deliver the placenta. The ward was full when I go therethankfullyand I was given a birthing room in the midwife led unit for the duration of my stay. To say these were chalk and cheese would be an understatement. The staff were considerate, helpful, kind I was kept informed of what was happening with my daughter and was given ample opportunity to sleep. Down to practicalities. The hospital is in the city of Glasgow. There is a car park on site but it gets very full around visiting time so hope you don't need the hospital then. It's a fairly new hospital and is clean enough and has bedside TV/telephone things. You have to buy a card to watch TV or make a phone call. Best bet is to use the card to watch TV and pop outside to use your mobile for telephone. The food is ok, there's plenty to eat and drink. If you use this hospital I would recommend the midwife led unit without a doubt. It's much more relaxed and you're more likely to have a pleasant experience.

As far as hospitals go, it's not bad. The new building is a lot more approachable than the previous…read moreoffering with a bright, clean open space. Whilst it still has a very clinical feel to it - as a hospital should - it's considerably less oppressive for people who aren't big fans of the hospital environment. The ground floor hosts the day surgery, information desk and other public areas such as the cafe and toilets. The majority of the clinics are on the upper floors and are accessible by lift or stairs. The staff on the information desk are always friendly and very quick to answer any queries, which is comforting in this sort of environment. Stobhill also houses the local Minor Injuries and Out Of Hours clinics, which are accessed from a separate entrance round the side of the building. One of the big issues regarding Stobhill is the lack of parking. There are three car parks - one at the main entrance, one across the road and one slightly further down the hill - and they are pretty much always jam packed any time after 10am. I'd usually recommend arriving in plenty of time in order to get a space!
