About: Tameside General Hospital

What I liked

I received a thoroughly caring and professional service from one doctor who listened to everything I had to say and responded accordingly.

Thank you for posting these comments. I am pleased to see that you received a very thorough service at Tameside Hospital.

I am not sure exactly which area you attended, though it was clearly a clinic. I will bring your comments about what could be improved to the attention of the staff responsible for this area.

Many thanks

“Would you like to help the hospital to improve its services further? We are currently looking for patients and carers to become involved in a development called “Patient Stories”. We want to know more about our services from the point of view of those who received them – what was good, bad, what could be improved, what should be changed. Want to know more about what’s involved?
