Ipswich Hospital

Amazing care given to my mother-in-law when we had to come to A&E whilst on holiday. All the staff were so helpful and caring. Special mention to ED ACP Pete who went above and beyond to help us. Much appreciation to all the NHS Heroes at Ipswich Hospital!

I’m on holiday in Felixstowe with my wife and two days ago had a nosebleed which I couldn’t stop although I’d tried for two hours.
I’m on blood thinners owing to heart surgery in July.
The treatment I received in the emergency department at the hospital was excellent. All staff were very caring and considerate and the waiting time wasn’t long.
They provide a wonderful professional service.
I came away after two hours with the bleeding stopped and good advice how to stop it if it happened again: it hasn’t happened again.
Best wishes to all

Just a quick note / comment about Ipswich Hospital-

I needed help - and every dept. I was taken to - A&E etc treated me with kindness and respect.

Everyone from the young man cleaning the floors to the kind folks giving out teas and coffees etc were lovely.
The nurses and doctors just don’t have enough time in the day as they work non - stop doing their very best.

I’m back home now and I thank everyone that helped me get through an upsetting time. That message is from the bottom ( of my now working) heart!!!

Thank you

came here back in 2019 due to mental health problems. Had to wait hours on end however was understandable due to short staff. The crisis team in A&E however were awful, just said I was going through a blip yet I ended back there two days later. The care I have have had in the wards has always been great.

Action, Treatment and Care Saved my Life
Three weeks ago I was taken to A&E at Ipswich Hospital with severe abdominal pain. Noting my pain and how unwell I was, I was fast-tracked through the line and into triage very quickly. Then I had bloods taken, was set up in a bed and given pain relief. Every step of the way, from the moment of arrival I was talked to, had things explained and was treated so very well and gently, with reassurance. So many staff whizzed by doing their amazing things, I will wheeled here and there (I was dipping in an out by this time). I had finally felt I could float off and I was in good hands. After tests, I was then taken to the Surgical Assessment Unit where again every staff member made eye contact and good communication (very patiently as I didn't always grab what was being said). Finally my results showed that I had Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, Ovarian Cysts, but also Sepsis. I was then moved to Stour Ward, so gently and carefully all the way in the dead of night. For the next two weeks I was there and I was very ill. But the dozens of staff, regardless of their position or duty gave me the treatment and care I needed to get me well. It was hard and scary, but made better because I was in such good hands. I am so grateful. I am so lucky. Thank you. I was discharged last Tuesday (13th September 2022), am due to come in again for an MRI scan and to meet with my Consultant, but I am now on the road to recovery and getting my life back.

There was a little wait, as expected. But once we had checked in, we got seen very quickly.
I attended with my daughter (4) she fell in the bath and split her chin open. We arrived, was seen and home in an hour and a half. The staff were absolutely fantastic. My daughter is very shy but the nurses were patient with her and made her feel comfortable. The new parking system is much better. Now don't have to worry about having change with you and never knowing how long to put on the meter. A few pounds to pay in the car park is nothing compared to the amazing service you receive for free. Never a bad word to say about our NHS

Perfect experience. Saw Consultant on 02/09/2022. operation on 13/10/2022. Just had two followup appointments. Both times finished and out before appointment time. No complaints at all.

The care I have received here has been outstanding. During chemotherapy they have been kind and patient, making sure I understood what was happening and being reassuring at all times.

Chemotherapy is never easy, but here was the best it could be.
