Airedale General Hospital reviews

Just like to thank all the staff at ward 20 during my surgery today. Was very nervous today but the surgeon really put me at ease before the op (apologies couldn’t remember your name). Also the recovery nurse Sinead was great. Ward 20 …

Having just finished my courses of treatment prior to surgery I wish to place on record in public my heartfelt thanks & praise to HODU RADIOLOGY RADIOTHERAPY & all the admin reception porter & nursing staff. …

Can’t fault the staff at Airedale for assessment and treatment of the swelling on my leg after I fell over. The questions they asked were relevant and made sense. The service was friendly and prompt, there was a thorough check and diagnosis after X-rays. And best of all, I haven’t broken anything!

The preoperative assessment nurse Carolina was absolutely wonderful. Very helpful and clear on all aspects of the procedure.

I’d just like to wholeheartedly thank the Staff and Doctors for the very informative and friendly service they gave to my family and me. This is why the NHS should be free at point of use. We are very lucky! …

Visited gynacology colpscopy clinic. All the staff I spoke to here were very helpful and the Dr and nurses were great. The Dr even went through some previous test results to explain things fully to me, I felt really listened to and …

Both my husband and I attended for our covid booster yesterday 17/11/22

I was in Airedale hospital over Christmas with pneumonia and I was looked after extremely well. The nurses and other staff were working tirelessly in challenging circumstances and I cannot thank them enough.

Turn your heating down please it’s like a sauna in the entirety of the hospital, I can’t imagine the money this hospital is wasting on unnecessary heating

I was in Cardiac ward 1 for 12 days in Sept and couldn’t fault the nurses, doctors and ancilliary staff. They dealt with some difficult circumstances with great professionism and were very friendly, kind and helpful. A big thank you to all of you helping me on the road to recovery.

What an absolute wonderful hospital we have in Airedale. I had the misfortune to visit A&E last Tuesday. From the word go the reception lady I spoke to right through to the wonderful doctor were absolutely fantastic. I was seen in minor …

Not getting into it here (my thumbs would be worn down to the bone if I tried) but anyone who’s had a ‘one-star experience’ as I have done needs to make sure they escalate it to the right places and get concerns acknowledged and addressed. …

My 93 year old aunt had to attend the breast clinic. The staff were amazing. My aunt has dementia so all the procedures were doubly difficult. At every point the staff were understanding and caring. As an ex NHS matron I was thrilled to see such excellent care. Well done Breat Clinic staff

Terrible standard of care, I can only hope that someone puts this hospital on the right track about how to treat the elderly and vulnerable..
Hospital acquired infection and pressure sores are not an acceptable method of …

Had a potential blood clot recently. Treatment by ambulance team, a&e and mostly AAU and Jonathan was exceptional. I was very impressed with the care, compassion, communication and thoroughness was outstanding and although long, I was out in the day.

Been using this hospital since it was built, longest stay was 14 days in ICU with heart failure. My 3 children where all born here

Fantastic service worth every penny of my contribution.

Minor injuries at A&E had brilliant staff, xray too.

Our mother is 88, she was given a suspected diagnosis of a TIA. The ambulance took her to the BRI saying that was the best place. 4 hours later in 30 degrees heat my mum puking into a bucket, she still hadn’t been seen. So we decided to …

Generally a good experience, most staff are brilliant and some staff are not, but you get that anywhere.

I thought Bradford Royal Infirmary for waiting times was bad Airedale is worse when it comes to waiting times especially when there’s not many patients in the waiting area majority of patients come in big groups with family members and …

Didn’t have to wait too long there wasn’t alot of parking spaces

I live midway between two hospitals and if I need that sort of care and attention I am able to choose which one to go to. …

If you have to go to hospital this must be one of the best. Made welcome and introduced to the nurses by name. Shown to your own area brought water and made comfortable and kept updated as to the lay out for the day. Surgeon and Anestatist …

Had an Endoscopy procedure and have to say the staff, nurses and consultant were fantastic from booking in to having the procedure. Top class professionalism. A credit to Airedale Hospital.

I have been to the minor injuries clinic today. It was a pleasant experience, one that will not be forgotten for a long time. The nurses and doctors were brilliant all through the pandemic. Would never go to another hospital.

Great staff on the children’s ward. We’re sensitive to the fact that my 14year old was much older than most patients. Good that they can do some school and be credited for some attendance whilst in hospital. …

Getting an out of hours appointment and finding out the doctor is running late. Staff on late nights at hours does not have people skills. Absolutely shocking service. Been coming every few months for around 2 years & every single time the …

Daughter visiting area with grandparents from Manchester and had a fall resulting in injury that required surgery. All staff on both A&E and Childrens Ward were fantastic, the facilities available to us and provision as a whole brought us …

This hospital is a joke, 7 months waiting for a simple procedure, scheduled and cancelled twice is the last 4 weeks, not even a courtesy call to let me know, just a letter with no explanation. Disgusting behaviour.

I’ve had cause to visit orthopaedics and urology recently and on numerous occasions. Mr Leggetter was friendly and approachable as was Mr Koenig and the urology nurses, who have made me feel confident that I’m in safe hands.

Can thank Airedale enough for been so helpful and quick to sort my little boy out thank you

Had great care recently when admitted- had no idea how poorly I was until I was diagnosed- turned out to be life-threatening but the care I received was superb. Caring, hardworking nursing staff working under very pressurised circumstances …

Absolutely wonderful care by all staff on Ward 20 during a recent angiogram. I felt safe and in the hands of intelligent, caring and respectful care givers from consultant to nursing support staff.
Thank you all so much. Thank goodness for our NHS.

Muscle permanently damaged by a so called “qualified vaccinator”. 3 months on I still have pain in the muscle. An official complaint has been made against this hospital who are not fit to be treating any patient. Avoid at all costs

The shock is that there seem to be two hospitals here, some people love it and others hate it. I suffered here for six months with nurses who were downright rude and unpleasant. one even kept moaning about patients getting in the way of …

All members of Staff are very friendly and highly professional. I have been to that hospital several times. Can’t wait to see the new Hospital built.

I had an appointment with a lovely lady called Jane in the colonoscopy department who guided me through my upcoming procedure with patience, sympathy and a nice sense of humour. …

It has its bad points. Under funded, under staffed and car parking can be a nightmare but the level of care is absolutely superb, they do really care. The A and E department are great, I don’t know how we would manage without the staff that work in hospitals, they really are true heroes!

I had an horrendous experience at this hospital & was robbed of my baby girl. I was treated appallingly & don’t want to go there when I’m not breathing, let alone when I am! …

I spent a week between ward 13 and 20 which was opened due to being so busy. The care the nurses gave me was excellent and couldn’t be faulted. Even though they are under extreme pressure at times due to understanding.

I went to Radiology dept at Airedale yesterday Tuesday 17th August. I would like to say the staff were great especially Fiona!!! Thank you so much Fiona. XX

Diabolical at helping those with mental health problems, utter disrespect and disregard. Last thing you need when already feeling horrible and suicidal. They blatantly know the impact they’re having on you and don’t care. Absolutely shocking, vile people

Absolutely shocking my wife booked in for a section at 7am told to sit in day room at 11am went to ask what was happening nobody even knew we were there they then kept my wife in all day pushing for 24hrs with no food and little water only …

Hats off to the brilliant staff “ALL OF THEM” on ward 13.
Also ACU
I stayed on ward 13 a few years ago and was not impressed …

Very poor. If you have an elderly / vulnerable patient in this hospital be aware and you will be chasing round in circles to find out what is going on and what happening. Basic care has been lacking in many areas and I’m not sure the …

Words cannot express absolutely amazing hospital beautiful and caring staff. BRI need to take a leaf out of there book Airdale Skipton hospital The best

A&E staff are soo rude and nasty they think it’s a joke. We as patience understand how busy you are and how much you have to do but as nurses and sister’s I’m sure you’ve heard about the 6C’s. They need to do CPD some of them actually most …

Attended this morning for a biopsy, i cannot lavish enough praise on the doctor and 2 nurses who carried out my procedure. They were so caring and professional.

Set between Steeton and Eastburn this hospital covers and caters for a spectrum of people /patients from the Airedale and Craven areas. Can be difficult to find a car parking space at busy times of the day. Big main entrance into the main …

My father was admitted on the 17th May this year. He had fallen at home when his left leg gave way, that was all. With in 7 weeks he was dead. The list of things he then got helped to kill him. Ward 6 has no understanding of demensia and …

Make sure you collect all of your deceased relatives possessions asap as things have a habit of going missing. Don’t worry, false teeth and clothing seem to be safe, strangely enough jewellery gets lost most often. Having experienced this …
