Derriford Hospital: Accident and Emergency Department plymouth

This is a shinning exaple of how flawed the NHS is, grest staff but its run terribly.

Vending machines. Free water. TV. Public phone

This is an over worked and under paid A+E. Always free at point of delivery and the best care in the West all day everyday regardless of what that bell end hunt says. Dedicated child services along with all other specialist requirements. Please stay away unless it's an emergency as this wastes everyone's time. Excellent staff giving an excellent service.

Great service from very helpful, knowledgeable staff

Very helpful & kind staff

3rd visit in 5 weeks. Dr's were reassuring. Nurses were kind. HCA Kimberly is new - ex ambulance crew but what a lovely, helpful and funny lady. Deserves recognition as do all the E.D. staff. Thank you

8 hours waiting time for emergency services? Abysmal.

Awful awful awful. I have been waiting to be seen by a nurse for almost 2 hours. It's not busy at all my self and another lady. Why they call it A&E if they let you wait in agony and suffer.
