Atrocious
I arrived at the hospital having been referred by my Dr, I arrived at 17:00, having been told over the next 8 hours of waiting that I was next and that the surgeon then got called to surgery the next excuse was he was doing ward rounds, this is disgusting, I have an hours drive home and then will need to be up in 5 hrs time for work, if I leave then I am discharging myself and will need to see my GP again, all this and an extortionate parking fee 🤬

Disabled people can't communicate with NNUH
The Norfolk and Norwich can't really deal with disabled people. I think that a lot of older people like me are giving up on services because they can't access them digitally. My only option is to call up the hospital, but I can't speak to a person, there is only the option to leave a message on an answering machine. Because I have a stammer, I can't use the answering machine, and when I told the hospital this, they said that they were terribly sorry but they couldn't help me, so now I have no wa ... y of contacting them. I feel that services think that I am disposable now that I'm over 80.

Amazingly quick
It was amazingly quick today. My husband's oncology nurse told me to come and pick up after 11am and it was ready. The person was very helpful and told me about the side-effects of the medicine. I'll give them four stars as nobody's perfect.

Small waiting room
They're polite but not overly quick. The waiting room is very small for the size of the hospital, and compared to other hospital pharmacies. I'm also not convinced it works to have one pharmacy serving both inpatients and outpatients.
I actually came a few days ago and was told it would be 45 minutes which you know really means at least an hour. I chose to leave and come back today, and it took about 10 minutes.

Friendly and helpful staff
The first couple of times during last year I was told the wait would be about 30-35 minutes, and I've been told the same today. It's understandable given the number of prescriptions they have to deal with. The items have mostly been correct although one time the amount wasn't right but I noticed on the day and they changed it. The staff have been friendly and helpful.

Quite a long wait
We waited for about an hour and were told it would be 40-45 minutes. It's quite a long time and would be quicker to get it from my local GP. Last time I was here the consultant's instructions had gone horribly wrong and I had to trail round the hospital to get it sorted out, then I was told it would be another two hours. It was a Saturday before Christmas and the staff here were really rude. I asked for it to be sent to my GP but I was told that would take at least 48 hours which, because of ban ... k holidays, would have meant I'd not get it until New Year's Eve.

Hardly time to sit down
The prescription hasn't come down yet from the consultant I saw in a clinic this morning but they're going to keep checking their screens and let me know when it comes in. I was here two weeks ago and it was ready in two minutes. I wasn't expecting that, I hardly had time to sit down!

Nice people
The first time we were here during last year we waited over an hour and this time seems a bit quicker. You've got to think though they're busy people, they've got to supply the whole hospital. The first time, my prescription hadn't been sent down so I had to go back and sort them out. The staff are good, they're nice people, but it does take a while.

Increased efficiency and productivity
The new robot is a lot more efficient, and it is quieter. The old robot measured between 50 and 90 decibels. It is more accurate, and means we can now look at reviewing systems and methods to increase productivity and accuracy further. In day-to-day working, we are now more efficient, productivity has increased, as well as workflows and systems. Staff morale has definitely improved. We have been able to add 4 new terminals so staff are not having to queue up and we have new checking benches whic ... h is nicer environment for staff and better processes. The new robot is smaller so we have been able to readjust the space and I think we've done the best we can with the space we have.
