The Queen Elizabeth Hospital

Please do not close our maternity ward! It is a life line, essential to our community and would leave a gaping hole if you closed it!
Far too valuable in west Norfolk to be taken away!

I been in as a patient many times, I had a major operation, and thanks to the Consultant ,who save my life was successful and all the staff are wonderful, very caring and helpful. Thank you to all of you at Queen Elizabeth Hospital you all are the best always. Thank you very much.

I was seen for an X Ray and it was a good experience. The staff were very kind and helpful. However I was told I had an appointment at the hospital but it wasn't until I got there that I knew what it was for.

I was treated for a suspected stroke at the QEH and cannot fault the fast and caring treatment I received. The stroke unit fast tracked multiple tests on a Friday afternoon and the communication that I received at every stage of my treatment was superb. The nursing staff and the consultant showed huge empathy and kindness whilst finding the time to make sure that I had detailed information about the tests and treatment. Highly recommended !

The gyny clinics are in the newer part of the hospital ,I was there for pessary change,Jo did it she is so good and professional her nurse assistant was very friendly all in all a horrible job made very good well done Jo .why is the gyny clinic never in the awards winners I feel the gyny clinic deserve medals

Getting the results after a scan seems to be taking far longer than it should. As a frequent outpatient to two different departments they are both similar. Generally it takes more than six weeks to get the results verbally via specialist nurses. If as in some cases it requires a consultants letter explanation, both the letters, I have received take approximately two weeks between dictation by the consultant & being typed, then a further three weeks to be received by post. In almost all cases tha ... t between 6 weeks to two months to get a result & then if required an appointment to discuss further treatment. There was a time when letters were sent out via the NHS secure email system. But that appears to have been stopped. QEH is now switching to consultations by phone, this is not an improvement for the patient only for the waiting lists numbers.

We have used the A and E department on three occasions over the last two years one requiring an ambulance.
There was a wait but the service was very good with excellent on going care
We do not own a car so the thought of losing this facility at our local hospital leaves us in fear. Similarly having to make a difficult journey for specialist care is gravely concerning. With so much new housing planned in the West Norfolk area, it would be outrageous to close these services.

I feel it is important to retain the current A&E, ICU and maternity services. It is too far to travel to the surrounding hospitals (which are all about an hours drive away) from the QEH catchment areas and doing so for urgent time crucial health issues could seriously affect patient health outcomes with increased risk of mortality or poor outcomes.
Somebody must be interested, and there will be a loss of medial staff

Not sure if this is correct place for my feedback but was directed here by Mp. I feel it is important to retain the current A&E, ICU and maternity services. It is too far to travel to the surrounding hospitals from the QEH catchment areas and doing so for urgent time crucial health issues could seriously affect patient health outcomes with increased risk of mortality or poor outcomes.

I arrived 30 minutes before my appointment and spent 30 minutes driving round in circles waiting for a parking space. Then the parking meters were broken and you could only get 2 hours for £3.40 parking ticket. It was very distressing and I just made it to my appointment, despite being 30 minutes early.
The hospital staff are amazing but the facilities surrounding it including the car park is an absolute distressing scam!
