Excellent hospital. Had to stay in here for a while and was extremely well looked after. I like the single rooms as it means your sleep is less broken and you are not sharing a ward with a litany of other ailments that might adversely effect you. The staff are helpful and usually on the dot with treatment. They are respectful of your privacy and will endeavour to help.

A lot of people I know don't like the way the hospital is set up but for a younger person I found it amazing. Being in hospital is not an experience anyone wants so this was quite refreshing. I personally would like to see more places taking this approach not only for the infection control that it allows but the privacy. Something that can be difficult to get in a hospital.

My one gripe is the outpatient side. It can overrun by almost an hour when seeing specialists. I know this isn't usually there fault but more could be done to wheedle out unnecessary appointments. Plus the consultant shouldn't wait 10 -20 minutes for someone to turn up. If they are late they are late. Get others in it would make things run much smoother.
