Royal Hampshire County Hospital

Got my son here with severe pain and didnt get any help for pain relief at all. Poor kid was crying and screaming from pain. No one cared. Worst hospital experience in my life. Avoid for your kids if you can.

I came to Winchester Urology Dept. from Basingstoke Hospital at the end of May 2022 and I do have to say that I was extremely impressed by the reception intake process, the ambulance people who transferred me and the staff at Winchester. The NHS STAFF Are excellent shame about it being a money pit and it does need an overhaul. I am delighted to be returning for various reasons though.

Four hours they made me sit there promising me it would only be a minute. Liars the lot of them. Sent there from 111 so already been referred to sign off on a prescription. Should have taken any one of their twenty doctors busy texting on their phone. Rather than seeing patients. I watched the waiting room turn over three times without a word. Then I get looked at like it’s my fault fifteen years of my records have been lost like it’s my fault I’m being terrorised by my local council which is how my records are missing in the first place. Never go to Winchester hospital because they will leave you there until your dead

I was referred to winchester hospital stroke unit on the 31st October from a visit to A&E Basingstoke hospital, well I went on the 1st November to see a stroke consultant then 3rd for altra scan on both sides of my neck then today an mri on my brain got the all clear so got to go back in a couple of weeks for mri on the back of my neck as they think I have a trapped nerve. The nursing staff were brilliant took care of me well I felt so comfortable with them thankyou

My wife has been 'blue lighted' into the RHCH on two occasions during the past month and has been in hospital a total of 20 days. We have nothing but praise for the call handlers and paramedics who got her into hospital so quickly. The doctors, nurses and support staff in A&E and the wards in which she was treated were brilliant, caring and professional. Well done to all.

My husband took me to RHCH early afternoon on 9.11.22 with an extremely painful knee injury. All the medical staff were professional and kind. I'd particularly like to mention Vicky, the nurse practitioner, who examined me in Minors. She was warm in her approach, professional, thorough, reassuring and clearly explained what she was doing and why (she also recognised I wouldn't be able to tolerate ligament stress tests at that time and made a referral to the trauma clinic instead). The radiographer and Lyndsey, the nurse practitioner who took over from Vicky, were also excellent. These medics are worth their weight in gold - if only they were valued by this vile Tory government before we lose them all! I couldn't have asked for better care in the 2.5 hours I was there (it was like day and night compared to the experience I had at QA Hospital Portsmouth the night before). Thank goodness I live closer to Winchester - RHCH would always be my first choice!

Have had a total knee replacement which all went well until today when I was ready to go home and it started bleeding and wouldn't stop meaning another night's stay! The care I have received throughout my stay has been brilliant, absolutely no complaints, and nothing but praise for everyone, in particular, Gabriel and all the ladies in Physiotherapy. Thank you to everyone.

My wife and I have both had Blood Tests taken at RHCH this week.
We have to say the service is ACE with very helpful and efficient Staff. What a magnificent transformation from the previous set-up where waiting times were for ever and the waiting room was full of coughing millions. Full marks - well done!
