Johnson Community Hospital - Spalding

Go here often to have my blood tested. Always on time and a clean and efficient hospital. A&E always long wait just like other hospitals. The bonus here is that there is a large Car Park which is free unlike other hospitals. The staff are always polite as well.

Twice this week I have been in the UTC following what I thought was a minor fall but has become more complicated.
I cannot praise the staff too highly.
Courteous, helpful and professional.
It is not their fault that the wait can be long, they dislike it every bit as much as the patients.

I visited the walk-in on 30 December to check a post-operation dressing. Face masks were required - I think I need bigger ears to cope with spectacles, hearing-aids and masks!! On leaving and removing said mask, I managed to dislodge a hearing aid. The staff were very helpful when my wife phoned on arrival home. Please convey my thanks to "Cheryl (Reception)" for arranging the hearing aid to be posted back to me

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for clinician K Smart. She was very professional and sympathetic to my husband's phobia of anything to do with eyes. Also we are thankful for her advice on another issue. Surprised parking was free. Over 3 hour wait to be seen which sadly wasn't unexpected. Receptionist and triage nurse were efficient. Comfy chairs! Shame it is not more private for people telling the receptionist their problem.

What a great experience! Free easy parking, clean hospital. I had an MRI in the unit which is based by the car park. The two technicians were friendly, polite and professional. I couldn’t ask for better. Excellent Thank you!!

My 87 Yr old mother broke her ankle at the end of December, she refused to let me go and help her as my health isn't good. Someone decided that my mother was depressed and sent a untrained mental health nurse out to her. She decided that my mother was a "tablet horder" as she had 2 lots of medication, but failed to notice the labels, one was from CoOp Lincon the other was from The Pilgrim Hospital Boston when she was discharged after they thought she might have broken her hip. This woman took it upon herself to remove all my mothers medication leaving her a few days worth behind. She said she would bring back a months supply on the 12th January. Mum ended up in the Pilgrim hospital again after a medical episode and was very badly treated . When she came home she had enough medication up to last Friday. Since Tuesday the 13th January i have been asking for her medication to be taken back to her ,on Thursday 15th January we find out they have destroyed £500 worth of medication and I was promised by the manager that mum would get her medication today ,what a surprise it didn't turn up !!! Mum has Heart and Renal failure, Diabetes, Thyroid problems, Gout , she needs water tablets and other medication. She's had no heart medication, No Omerperzole ,No Diabetic medication, No heart medication since Friday . On Saturday 11th January she had 2 mental health nurses and 2 paramedics bullying her to go to hospital so she gave in ,but one of these took the plug out of her pacemaker machine by her bed and mum didn't know until Papworth called today. Now mum can't get round that side of the bed as she's in a wheelchair so who unplugged it ?

This is the Emergency care NHS service as it should be from my experience. Friendly efficient staff, busy but no long wait. If I need emergency care again will definitely go here rather than other hospitals in my area.

After a man call me with my daughter and he told me they don’t have time to check because they are closing at 8,If I want to go in Peterborough or to call tomorrow at gp.What’s the point to have emergency hospital in Spalding.
