"Wonderful helpful staff - professional, optimistic..."

About: University Hospital Of North Durham

What I liked

Wonderful helpful staff, clean rooms, good access to the ward,

Anything else?

I visited the hospital (or was actually rushed to ) over the period of 4 days and I had a chance to deal with the staff members working on all the different shifts. Every single one of them- doctors and nurses were fantastic, they treated me with dignity and made sure I was as comfortable as I could be despite of horrible circumstances - going through a miscarriage.

After my missed miscarriage was confirmed through an emergency scan (once again arranged despite the technician being very busy) I was given 3 options which were explained to me in depth discussing both advantages and the risks.

When I was rushed to hospital due to horrible pain over 4 hours before my appointment I was treated immediately and given different types of pain relief. The nurses kept checking on me regularly making sure I had everything I needed. My husband was present with me most of the time and when he had to leave for a few hours the nurses made sure I was ok.

Before going to this hospital I read some negative comments and was slightly worried - well there was no need.

The staff made my experience much less painful which I am extremely grateful for.

Hopefully my next pregnancy will go smoothly and my baby will be delivered there safely
