A few months back, my friend was admitted to Winchester hospital after throwing up blood. we had called 111 as, for obvious reason, we were extremely concerned. after two a&e visits in the span of two days of this occurring, he was given a CT scan and told the throwing up blood was due to an ear infection, and was then prescribed travel sickness medication as well as omeprazole the throwing up blood has now happened for a second time, two months later. we, again, called 111 to ask for advice and he was brought to a&e in an ambulance. he was not much later discharged and told to come back if his symptoms became worse. he then developed extreme weakness, sensitivity to light and sound, severe shaking due to feeling cold even thought he was under 5 blankets and a coat, had to be assisted to the toilet etc. we called again, hoping for help, in which we were told that an ambulance would come. this was cancelled about 10 minutes later, and we were made to take him to a&e ourselves if we thought it was “that bad”. after taking him to a&e for a second time, he was seen by a doctor who told him to “get out because he was a drunk” ( he had had two beers prior, no more, and was stone cold sober). he was treated so utterly poorly, and for two separate occasions. i am fully convinced that the staff in this hospital could not care less. unbelievably disappointed.

In September I was admitted having had a migraine for two weeks, utterly exhausted and unable to care for myself. Barely able to walk or support my own body weight.
On arrival my bloods were taken in a cubicle with other people's blood spattered on the floor.
A person who had never met me or examined me arrived to say I would be treated "in chair".
The nurse who was told this information looked horrified. I was too ill to understand what was happening but, I then endured over 9 hours sat in a very hard plastic chair with intermittent burst of speaking to staff, 10 in fact, 10 times! I had to try to find the energy to explain over and over again, what was wrong, when I finally reached my limit of absolute exhaustion, nearly passing out, someone gave me a bed. No fluids were offered in that 9 hours, no food was offered. So if you get told you're being treated "in chair", prepare yourself.
What was even more shocking, on arrival to the ward, the sister told us she had been expecting me at 2pm, it was now 6pm!
I was finally given some food, biscuits, I'd have eaten anything at that stage, and fluids were set up.
The next day a male nurse handing over to someone else stood at my bed and said loudly "I don't even know why she's in here!" Nice, thank you so much, so I told him I was having a CT scan and lumber puncture. He ignored me and walked away. In fact the only time he acknowledged me was when my husband visited me. I had to ask for pain relief because none were offered.
A used bed pan was in the wards bathroom for over 24hrs. Flies were starting to form. This is the room where I had to wash and brush my teeth. When we on the ward finally got a nurse/carer to remove it, she simply said, we don't go in the bathroom, so we didn't know it was there.
After having the lumbar puncture I was told to lie down and sleep, however the alarm of an IV drip thing in the next cubicle was sounding, it was left ringing for over an hour! Apparently no one working on the ward was qualified to turn it off, let me remind you of why I was admitted, a migraine with suspected bleed on the brain. Again I had to request pain relief when someone eventually bothered to check on me.
Awful experience, totally broken NHS.
I also had to listen to an elderly female patient repeatedly voice she did not want to be washed by a male nurse, he went ahead and did it anyway.

My family and I have needed care from the Royal Hampshire County Hospital on various occasions and the care and treatment has always been consistently excellent. The A&E appears very well led and organised especially in comparison to other hospitals. We are very grateful to the paeds department, SDEC, SAU and outpatients. I know the OOH clinic is run separately but it’s so helpful to have that service based near the A&E. Many thanks again ❤️❤️❤️

I have today been to the Anthony Letchworth gynaecology ward for day surgery. What a great team and a very positive experience. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and everything was explained clearly. They took great care of us offering hot drinks etc and offered frequent observations and great aftercare.
Thank you very much.

I was referred to the colonoscopy department after an abnormal poo sample as part of the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme, right from the first point of contact I was dealt with by highly trained, professional and compassionate staff.
I can't thank them enough for making me feel at ease and comfortable.

On Christmas day I twisted my ankle. Yesterday is my daughter and I were in Winchester she took me to the hospital as my foot was still swollen. Reception were very kind and not long after registering I was called to the Triage nurse who immediately asked if I wanted some pain relief, which I accepted. I did not wait long before I saw someone, who after pressing my foot, and finding the painful spot, sent me round to X ray where i was seen quickly and returned to the waiting room. Not long after the nurse I seen me earlier, called me into a room again. She explained that had damaged a tendon which would son heal, but to keep on taking paracetamol for

I had come to A&E after I faced an injury to get my foot X-rayed. The waiting room was practically empty & I was told someone would check me before X-ray. I sat there in pain waiting for over 2 hours. No one even bothered to check on me or figure out why it was taking so long for me to get seen, as there was only 2 other patients in the A & E room. If perhaps I had chopped off my leg, they would care enough to see me then. Would rather travel to another A&E if I was in an emergency again.

The staff were fantastic and incredibly helpful when I attended on a Monday evening with an injured elbow. Seen by a nurse, X-rayed, diagnosed and sent home within 2 hours. Very grateful for their help and kindness.
