Pleasant hospital with helpful staff

Professionnel but not the friendliest

From the moment I walked into the hospital the staff was kind and caring. Everyone was very attentive and friendly. Couldn’t wish for better experience.

I was looked after at the RNOH when I was undergoing major spinal surgery, March 2024. The staff there were amazing, from when we arrived a day early, they still accommodated for us, to just coming in and checking up on me regularly. They are all really friendly and will come and help you quickly if you need something. The hospital itself is in a really nice area, surrounded by lots of trees and the countryside, so a very nice place to look out of from your window in your room, or when you are having a walk around. The garden was lovely too, it allowed a chance to be able just to have a short walk outside without having to go too far away from your room. The food was good, compared to lots of other hospital catering, and there were always snacks and drinks by your bed if you every get hungry. Overall, it is a really good hospital!

Great hospital and great staff

Excellent experience

Staff were friendly and kept us updated on waiting times.

The staff were all approachable and friendly

I felt things were very disjointed. Daytime nurses were great and very helpful they’d top my water up and check I was comfortable however, the night staff wasn’t great with checking my comfort or pain relief, they were doing blood pressure etc checks but not asking how i felt or how my pain was, I asked for pain relief and was questioned where my pain was - I’d had a hysteractomy so clearly in pain, I was eventually given pain relief namely paracetamol at around 4am and hadn’t had anything since early evening after surgery. I paid private and my expectations of more hands on care during the night was not fulfilled at all. I should not have been in a position where I had to ask a few times for pain relief at night. I ordered a meal for the first evening to then be told I would be on a clear liquid diet for a few days. I ordered soup for my last meal as surgeon said clear/soft foods for a few days to then be told by a nurse I need a meal to gain my strength back so when I say disjointed it didn’t seem all staff were singing off the same hymn sheet and this left me confused in that do I listen to surgeon or a nurse. I’m Still on soft foods and choose to take surgeons advice. Given I paid privately, the only perk I felt with this was my own room. I didn’t sleep much because my door was kept opened at all times and I was opposite the main desk so it was very noisy even during early hours. My husband was told to ask for a hot drink if he wanted one and he had to then remind each time upon which he was brought tea not coffee so it had to be changed. He waited two hours for his cup of coffee. I actually couldn’t wait to leave as didn’t feel I had the level of care at night that I paid for overall. Surgeon was a very lovely man and I was very pleased with him and also the anaesthetist was great.

Good clinic with friendly and helpful staff. More parking would be helpful.
