"A and E"

About: Good Hope Hospital

Anything else?

My husband was admitted to A and E late at night - I thought the staff were excellent, attention was quick (not long before he saw staff from medical as distinct from A and E) and was admitted. The only problem so far appears to be around medication - the pharmacy is apparently notoriously slow, so I had to take in one of his meds - not a problem but really should not be an issue, should it. This is the first time I have been since the hospital's revamp, and the facilities are very much improved.

Dear Anonymous

Thank you for your feedback and I hope your husband is feeling much better after what sounds like quite a traumatic experience. You're right, the delay in medication is not acceptable and I have forwarded your feedback to the Pharmacy who I know will take this on board and take steps to improve this in future. I'm really glad you like our new facilities too and wish you both well.

Best wishes

Simon
