"Not suitable for patients with long term..."

Very disappointed with this new hospital.

The service seems to be focused on emergencies such as heart attack or road traffic accidents.

My husband was sent to this hospital by his clinicians in oncology as he was poorly and they felt he needed to be checked out.

The staff were not interested in his cancer, did not do any diagnostics and sent him home.

The doctor said they were reluctant to admit him as he had had diarrhea the previous day but this is a side effect of the chemotherapy he was on and not an infection.

They were reluctant to do any type of scan or ultrasound and said this should be done in outpatients.

The medical staff at Oncology had sent instructions outlining his condition and what was needed using SBAR.

The staff did not even read the information.

I will avoid this means of access to secondary care if at all possible.

We spent 6 hours there and the staff did not do anything.

He was admitted to Palliative care at Wansbeck a few days later.

Improvements are need to identify what this hospital is for.

It does not seem to fulfill the obligations mentioned prior to opening.
