What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Wishaw Hospital (GB-1301), also known as University Hospital Wishaw, is a district general hospital in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, not a travel terminal. Therefore, the feedback gathered pertains to patient experiences rather than traveler reviews. Overall sentiment appears mixed, with strong praise for compassionate care and effective treatment in some instances, contrasting with significant complaints regarding wait times, staff attitudes, and basic hygiene in others.

What Patients Appreciate:

Caring and Professional Staff: Many patients highlight the kindness, empathy, efficiency, and professionalism of nurses, doctors, and other hospital staff, particularly in specific wards and emergency situations.
Effective Medical Care: Positive outcomes are reported for various treatments, including surgical procedures and emergency interventions for serious conditions like heart attacks and severe injuries. The hospital has also shown significant improvements in trauma mortality rates.
Accessibility and Facilities: The hospital generally complies with disability accessibility standards. It features a 24-hour accident and emergency department, a large maternity unit, a paediatric neonatal unit, and an MRI scanner. There is also a café and a restaurant on-site.
Flexible Visiting Arrangements: Inpatient wards offer patient-centered visiting arrangements to suit individual needs.

Common Complaints

Excessive Wait Times: A recurring and significant complaint involves very long waits in the Accident & Emergency (A&E) department and holding areas, sometimes extending over 10 to 12 hours.
Poor Staff Attitude and Communication: Some patients have reported combative, rude, or uncaring staff attitudes, along with instances of poor communication or unprofessional discussions about patients.
Cleanliness and Basic Care Issues: Concerns have been raised about uncleaned bedside areas, including dried bodily fluids or food, and finding previous patients' soiled items or medical waste in lockers. Delays in providing pain medication or essential comforts like water have also been noted.
Parking Difficulties: While substantial parking is available, it can fill up quickly, partly due to staff parking.

In summary, Wishaw Hospital appears to deliver high-quality medical care in many areas, supported by dedicated staff, but patient experiences are significantly marred by persistently long wait times in the emergency department and occasional lapses in staff professionalism and basic ward hygiene. Addressing these critical operational and care delivery aspects could substantially improve overall patient satisfaction.
