The care in Cherry Ward and Laurel Ward was brilliant. A special mention to nurse Donna but my Wife Carol could not have had better care and attention in a private hospital

get made an appointment with gp but the nhs app always gets it wrong and end up missing it, there absolutely useless.

This review is not for the NHS in general which I have always found to be generally good. This is about their app which contains ( like many others) the potentially lethal dependence on the vile VERIFICATION CODES in order to access one’s account. If you must use this abomination, GIVE THE OPTION OF RECEIVING CODES BY EMAIL, NOT PHONE as the inability of phones to receive these codes is a well known and documented issue.

The NHS have consistently failed me for years, and most notably now, Dr. King of Shakespeare Road Medical Practice has spent over a year taunting me about whether I will or will not be prescribed my usual, essential Tranexamic Acid and other medications. It was not even due for review until April 2026, but she was trying to coerce and blackmail me into tests and treatments I did not want, and it was withdrawn suddenly and completely in February. I have been having my heaviest period since 2020. It is miscarriage level. I am in a mess and Dr. King and her minions do not care. They are cruel and cold. I am broken and desperate.

I will refrain from expressing a lengthy complaint, as it would be an unproductive use of my time. As a former nurse, I can attest that the extended waiting periods observed are unnecessary. The assertion that there is no shortage of medical professionals is questionable. A shortage of medical personnel appears to be evident. I endured a six-hour wait, only to be informed that an additional four hours would pass before I could consult with a physician. During that six-hour period, every individual in the waiting area was assessed by a triage nurse, yet no one was seen by a doctor. How can this situation be justified? Ultimately, I returned home due to the unbearable pain I was experiencing. I was compelled to return home and administer painkillers, which, incidentally, provided minimal relief. It is unacceptable that I had to leave and self-medicate with analgesics due to the unavailability of doctors. Consequently, I will not be returning. I am also frustrated with the lack of progress from my general practitioner, despite undergoing four scans and numerous blood tests. Surely, a resolution should be attainable by now. Nevertheless, I am currently at home, in discomfort, and unwilling to endure another 10+ hours on an uncomfortable, slippery steel chair. The responsible parties should be held accountable for this situation.

Please explain why the NHS employs an utterly useless private patient transport company EMED group to provide NEPTS up and down the country, looking into this company it is a private equity company draining resources from our wonderful NHS, they are always late and dont give a flying fig to renal, cancer and all other customers. CEO of ERS should be called to account.

What a laughable website/app,about as much help as a poke in the eye with a blunt stick!

my wife sustained a very nasty facial injury last night [slipped and caught her cheek on counter top] we arrived at york A&E at 5.30 am were booked in and triaged quite quickly , the male nurse said he would organise an Xray just in case of broken jaw. We waited then for a considerable time , we saw no doctors until just after 8am when people suddenly started to be called in , we walked down to Xray and met a male nurse who enquired why we were there, on explaining the situation he took us to the Xray technician , who knew nothing about us until this point. Mywife was swiftly exrayed [ top marks to her] and then we waited again until a nurse took us to another area to see a doctor . This area was very small incredibly hot and stuffy , we were told to wait again .My wife is very claustrophobic and after putting up with it as long as she could she asked how much longer the wait would be ,she was told :we dont know it could be 2hrs it could be 4hrs . At this point we left went to achemist and bought butterfly stiches etc and we now hope for the best .I knew the NHS was in a bad way but this beggars belief. through out all this there were very elderly people slumped in very uncomfotable chairs for literally hours ignored by everyone.
