St James' Hospital

I was a Charge Nurse at St James Hospital in the mid 1960s. I worked on the following Wards Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit and F2/3 M6 M8 M3 Harry and Ellen Cook wards Brunel Villa. I worked very closely with Dr Rodney Bale as his Clinical Practice Nurse. I believe the Principle Nursing Officer was a Mr Adams.? and Colin Allison? It was a great Hospital super staff. I was the first male nurse to work on a Female Ward F2 with Sister Y Gall? Other Drs I worked with Dr Ian Christy. Dr D Brought Dr Brunning . I would love to hear from anyone that worked at St James.
Thanks Roger Barfoot

My husband and I have just had our AZ vaccine. Excellent from start to finish. Very well organised. Plenty of helpful and friendly staff to show you were to go and what to expect. Went at 12.30pm Saturday as a walk in, no queues straight in.

Went to St James for my initial COVID vaccination. It was very well organised and I was well informed throughout the process. There were plenty of people directing and the social distancing arrangements were as expected really good.

Covid vaccination organisation is exemplary! Despite the huge numbers passing through, everyone was very friendly and made the effort to put you at ease. Thank you all so much!

Update after second jab. After 3 months, thought they might have become a bit jaded - but same friendly, efficient experience - can't praise all involved highly enough - thank you!

I had a wonderful experience at St James’ Hospital. The staff are very co-operative and organised, I received my COVID-19 vaccination without any complications.

Just had AZ COVID-19 jab at St James. The whole experience went very smoothly.
If you're driving, make sure you follow the yellow signs, not your Sat Nav. On arrival, I was directed to a parking area that could be a bit muddy in the rain. There were volunteers every step of the way, making sure I was where I was supposed to be. It's not vital but I suggest taking your NHS number as it makes things easier. After the jab, I was told to sit in the car for 15 mins... just in case. There are plenty of volunteers around should you need assistance.
Some suggested takes: good shoes that can deal with mud and an umbrella as you may have to queue outside.
Update 28 March: Car park has been gravelled over so no concern about mud. Still lots of very helpful people around. If your visit is for the 2nd jab, don't forget your vaccination card!
