What I liked
I wanted to place on record my complete admiration for all the staff at the maternity unit at Bradford Royal Infirmary. Both of my sons births were difficult and traumatic in particular the birth of my second son this week 24th Jan 2012 where i had to have an emergency c section. I was overwhelmed by the speed at which the staff acted to ensure he was delivered quickly and safely in under 15 minutes. Too many people are quick to moan about the NHS and shouldnt. We are incredibly fortunate to have free health care in this country and the staff I have dealt with at BRI have been fantastic at all times. The staff at the maternity unit are a credit to the NHS and I will forever hold them in very high regard. They make you feel like you are the most important person they are dealing with despite being obviously stretched resource wise. They all had a smile on their faces at all times both in delivery suite and on the wards. I hope this recognition can get passed on. Truely inspiration level of service thank you.
What could be improved
Alot of the midwifes were frustrated by the amount of admin/paperwork they have to complete they said this impacts in available time being able to spend talking to patients. This said this did not affect my experience as I was made to feel important at all times to them despite how busy they were.
The food was quite poor - luke warm at best so thats one area for improvement
"Outstanding level of care and competence"
