York Hospital york

Would like to thank ALL the staff on ward 16 from the bottom of our hearts for the care they gave Shirley till her death this evening. No one could ask for a more careing set of nurses, totally dedicated to the nursing profession and the people in their care. You should all be so proud of yourselves, and you will always be in our hearts. It seems she touched all your hearts with her singing and sense of humour. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DID.

Simply one of the best hospitals anywhere!!! I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma and the treatment I received was and still is simply awesome. The clinic waiting times are well below average. Think A&E let's them down performance wise but that's down to being under staffed, not the hospitals fault.I had a dreadful nurse supposedly to supply Macmillan support. She didn't do anything only made things worse. Her attitude and unprofessionalism doesn't alter how I rate the care I received from the other staff it was and is awesome.I think there are one or two less than expected nurses, but you will find that at every hospital in the world

I went for an appointment at the colposcopy clinic after been told I had a severe high risk smear test result. I was distraught on getting a letter out of the blue to go to hospital. So for days before the appointment I was very distressed and freaking out. I have never had an abnormal result. I read a lot before the appointment, hours on end, spoke to cancer charities, read testimonials, read reports in medical journals, knew exactly what went on at the appointment. So I decided based on all I had read that for the moment I would not do anything but wait for results of a less invasive procedure I am having. So I went only for a chat. I didn't say anything at first and was asked a few questions and then she wanted to start the process. So I said I've only come for a chat and that I had made an informed choice to do nothing at this time. She then went on to explain that I had got a high risk result and drew a line on a piece of paper to show where I was. She then said that if left I would get cancer in 10 years time. I said that is not true. Out of the percentage that have a high risk there is no way of knowing who will go on to develop cancer. She said it was true and I would definitely get it. I left and have reported this incident. Luckily I was very well informed before the appointment otherwise that would have scared me. It was scandalous. Unless she has a crystal ball and can say who is going to develop cancer she would get a Nobel Prize. As it is it is very worrying that that is been told to patients in a high risk category. Treatment has to be offered to everyone in this category and they do not know that if left alone who would go on to get cancer or at what speed.

My son was seen very speedily. We were all treated in an excellent manner. The doctor was calm, friendly and knowledgeable. Excellent. Thank you so much!

Amazing hospital which has really improved since Brexit as it’s clear more money is been pumped into it. Many thanks to all the staff who work so hard .

I found the hospital hard to find with all the roadworks, traffic lights and so many round abouts. Once there I can't fault any of the staff they were all fabulous. The ladies in the cancer center were just wonderful and with a four hour appointment I was kept well informed at all times. Well done ladies.

I was examined at York Hospital A and E today (04.09.21) for a suspected heart attack. Every member of staff that I came into contact with was kind, efficient, competent. The doctor who took care of me was so gentle and reassuring, and so clear in his explanations, that what might have been a distressing experience was the opposite. The whole service at the hospital was efficient and professional. Lindsay Walter

Went to York Hospital after fall. Staff were absolutely brilliant and transferred to Orthopaedic ward. I was looked after and wanted for nothing. The deadication and professionalism of all the staff was superb. Many thanks for looking after me. Xx❤️NHS

I needed to go to A&E on Monday 20th September 2021 and wish to thank the amazing Doctor Lyndon. Who was incredible he got me sent for a MRI.and continued to update me . His kindness skills and sheer loveliness. We are blessed to have such amazing people who put up with lots of abuse, and little thanks . So thanks to all the staff on duty this Mon as I am very grateful for my care and support. Xx

arrived at 6pm, still waiting to be seen by a doctor at 9pm so gave up as we were advised of a further 1 to 2 hour wait before seeing anybody so treatment time was on top! Quite frankly this is not the sort of service that you expect in 2021 - too many excuses
