Birmingham Womens Hospital reviews

I had the most wonderful experience having a CSection. I was so afraid and it was literally the last thing I wanted but all the staff made the experience so wonderful. …

Thank you to Ward 8 staff, the 5th floor surgical team and the auxiliary staff, especially the fantastic porter, for your kindness and compassion during my stay today. I was an incredibly nervous patient, however, you all put me at ease. …

Came to triage yesterday due to some issues with heart rate and blood pressure,I ended up staying the night for monitoring the staff are lovely, they answered all my questions and took time to reassure me and make sure me and baby boy was …

Cannot praise the hospital enough! Thank you all!! Thank you to the delivery suite midwives (specific mentioned below) floor 3 ward 5 staff and others!
I gave birth two weeks ago at 36 weeks gestation. I called triage and she was …

I had a procedure here in February 2023 and cannot fault the care and professionalism I received from every person on ward 8 throughout my stay. Dr Paul Smith and his whole team were fantastic, I felt well cared for and safe in their hands. Thank You all.

Had a hysterectomy on the 6th February, want to thank all the staff on ward 8 4th floor for your dedicated care and support during my surgery and starting me on my way to recovery, everyone was so kind, my surgeon was just brilliant, I …

Ward 8 women’s hospital.
Amazing from start to finish,
Exemplary care compassion and kindness. What an Amazing Team. …

Love and respect for the hospital staff
Whether it’s doctor, surgeon,nurse, midwife, receptionist or cleaner. …

Doctors and nurses do not care about the patient, The nurse told me that I was busy and when I was buying coffee downstairs I saw that she was checking the phone maybe Tik Tak😐
And a dirty, old and cold hospital. …

Terrible Hospital!
Don’t risk your loved ones ! …

Fantastic experience at the Birth Centre here. The staff went above and beyond to allow me to have the birth I wanted and I couldn’t thank them enough for their support during the whole process. A special mention to Jess, Kate, Claire and …

Andrology fertility facilities are absolutely dreadful. They send you around the back entrance – for privacy, apparently. Which means you are sat in a room just by the service lift and expected to be “productive” when you hear trolleys …

A huge THANK YOU from my wife and myself to the delivery suite and postnatal ward 4 staff who supported my wife and helped her during her labour journey at the Women’s hospital. The midwives who helped and supported my wife during her …

At 27 weeks pregnant I had bleeding and was terrified. Triage reception staff were very efficient and kind. Was seen within 15mins at triage. The nurses and Dr’s were amazing. I was transferred to ward 1 for observations, again nursing …

Can someone tell me who can I complain to as an inpatient? Thank you there is a nurse on night shift called Tammy and she is so so mean to me l told her I cudnt breath and that my face is so swollen and pins and needles Iv had same symptoms …

One of the best Women’s hospitals in the West Midlands and probably the UK as well… Individual experiences may vary depending people you end up seeing there… …

Would give 0 stars if I could. I need to check my appointment but no one is ever available to answer my call in that department. No other department can check my appointment and just keep transferring me to the same number who never …

System is absolutely dreadful and needs a serious looking at. Partner waiting 4+ hours for a simple procedure, no-one coming to check on her or offering food/water, no updates on time despite going to reception and being told she was next …

I had surgery here yesterday for endometriosis, and the staff could not have been more lovely if they tried. I have had endo surgery before at another hospital and it wasn’t a great experience, so combined with some of the bad reviews this …

Triage department is absolutely ridiculous. Only 3 pregnant woman waiting in reception and medics cant get through to see them within 4hrs. Pointless waiting. For your babys safety, do not choose this hospital! Staff care nothing apart from …

Everytime I come to this hospital I feel like I get insulted – I am a Asian and there’s been 3 incidents I have had to walk away as if I am not an urgent patient but people that come after me get attended before me they seem fine yet they …

Shocking to read such reviews, even those that believe they are actually making a valid point about cleanliness and the the fact they don’t answer phones here (what a shame kids)🙄 the services are free you tards! What the f do you expect …

I Had my surgery done at this hospital by Dr Clark.. He was very reassuring & had a warm bedside manner I am extremely pleased he gave me back my life after having a total hysterectomy, it’s a pity his secretary doesn’t have the same conduct or bedside manner…One thing I cannot stand is a dismissive rude people..

Staff and nurses are very good l stay ward 4 and 8 my baby was in hospital very good care for my baby Al hum du lillah Thanks For all stafff and doctors and nursess l remembers seher nurse . Thanks

Just want to say a big Thank You to all the staff at this hospital. You just can’t ask for more, my partner had the baby one week ago and all the staff was amazing. They really looked after my fiancee which is not an easy thing to do with a …

I want to leave review for the department Hysteroscopy Clinic BWH QE Birmingham Edgbaston. I have had excellent care and service from all females staff, Charlotte, Helen, Siobone,Sam. 26/7/22 @ 15:30pm. I was really worried scared about …

Telephone call to radiology 26/05/2023 AM. Lack of customer care, unwelcoming and unfriendly attitude.

There are always people smoking in front of the hospital in the non-smoking areas. No one takes any action. It’s disgusting. The hospital management really can’t do anything about it? The people who take care of security at the entrance …

I am a patient at the gynecology outpatients at this horrific place. The staff are unbelievably unhelpful. The do not answer the phone. When they do they are not willing to book appointments for you. They promise to call you and but will …

I was scheduled an appointment a mere week after getting my results. I found all the staff I encountered to be friendly and efficient. Dr Farooq was very informative and I felt like I was in good hands. Very easy access from University station and well signposted.

Negligence and consistent failure to administer prescribed medication to control illness. Post natal care for mother has been shocking and failures of others reflect badly and many individuals working hard to provide an amazing service.

Went in today for 28 weeks blood appointment. Told them I had reduced movement they sent me to triage who saw m quite quickly. They hooked me up to a monitor and the lady who saw me was very reassuring I feel so much better having been …

I had a procedure done at Birmingham Women’s hospital yesterday and would just like to pass my sincere thanks to all the staff on ward 8 especially sister Jackie, and Debbie they were so helpful and friendly. The care I received was …

I was a patient at Birmingham Women’s Hospital in March 2021 and the care I received was beyond exceptional. I suffered my second miscarriage and had a surgical management procedure at the hospital and the care I received from beginning to …

Triage reception staff dreadful. Asian lady and a white woman with a blonde ponytail- unprofessional and incompetent. Visited this evening. Gave birth 2 weeks ago and was concerned my c section scar was infected. I was told on the phone it …

Gave birth here in 2014, recieved utter disrespect and appalling treatment, my first child and the nurses and midwifes. Firstly was told to shut up when I was groaning in pain due to strong labour pains & contractions. …

Had to go into pregnancy triage. Luckily husband was allowed in with me on this occasion as I was really nervous. Nurses and doctors were lovely and reassuring. However, I had to wait unnecessarily for few hours in the waiting area because …

Wild goose chase trying to get to the correct department and Half the time the line either busy doesn’t take calls due to higher h demand or just cuts off??? And this is for the antenatal department… why is this .r 20+ times I e been …

I want to share what a brilliant service I received here. People are often too quick to leave negative comments without it being constructive in anyway, and not many people take time to share positive feedback. …

Recently attended the clinic with my wife for a scan on the 21st of July at the day assessment unit. …

I’ve had 2 scans so far at BWH. I love going there because the midwives I’ve dealt with are so nice and friendly. You can see their passion. I think it has the best maternity unit in the country.

Gynaecology department at the Women’s Hospital Birmingham! Nikita’s went above and beyond! Thank you! My own doctor could not trace my bloods that were necessary for my appointment at the Women’s hospital! Nikita made time during her busy …

Pregnancy triage awful. I had severe cramps at 6 months pregnant. I waited 6 hours to be seen and others who came after me were seen earlier because apparently the midwife claimed they were more priority. Unfair, I sat in a stuffy room which was warm and not properly air conditioned. I expected better from the Women’s hospital .

Lady with black hair and blue highlights from maternity department is beyond rude and patronising. We are in such a difficult time and her attitude and care is beyond awful. I has some personal concerns so I needed someone with me but she …

I gave birth at this hospital alone without my birth partner and without painkillers for the large majority of my labour not due to the pandemic but due to racism . My symptoms were ignored and the midwife assigned to ward 1 (D1) on the …

I have had 3 of my my babies here and I am now currently under there care with my 4th. I would never go anywhere else. Every dealing I have had with them from beginning to end has been nothing short of fantastic. The midwifes, the …

Asain Security guards x2, made my Mrs change her fabric face mask but let 2x asian women walk through wearing them. Said my 6 month old baby was too old to be on the ward but later seen the 2 asian women pregnant on the ward with 2 year …

Appalling service here, rude reception staff and rude radiographers, on our 20 week scan we arrived 30minutes early taken into appointment 15minutes late and then confronted by radiographer for being late?? Absurd behaviour and big disjoint …

Very dissatisfied with their scheduling. They keep rescheduling my appointment which is not the worst, but they forgot to inform me about it so I keep losing money because I have to take the day off then obviously I have to pay for the …

Absolutely fantastic service from every member of staff we met during my partners birth. World class. Thank you Birmingham Women’s Hospital!

Absolutely awful. I am now 11 weeks pregnant and have been waiting for a letter for a scan date. Instead I have received a letter saying they have no room for me at the hospital. I have had a previous stillbirth at 40 weeks and a partial …

If this review was about the labour ward and suite then it would be 5 stars. The staff are amazing. However radiology is a disgrace. They are unable to communicate with any other department and have sent me a scan date which was a week …

I went to have the Endometrial Ablation operation today on the 19th of May 2021.
I cannot thank all the staff enough. …

I was discharged today from Ward 1- my whole experience from entering reception to being discharged has been flawless. Much love to the midwives, MCAs, doctors, cleaners, reception staff and anyone else I may have missed out for caring for me and making me feel better so quickly. You’re all heroes x

This hospital is exceptional, it should be the flagship hospital of the NHS. I just want to say a big thank you to each and every department I have been to over the past 11yrs Ward 8, Gynae Outpatients, X-ray department, Maternity Unit …

Unprofessional and uncompassionate.
******* is in completely the wrong career, with my partner visibly distraught she continued to verbally attack her and belittle her. Serious concerns for other patient safety and her ability to act in the senior role she has been appointed to.

Amazing fertility and antenatal departments. Ground breaking and exceptional! Thank you for everything your have done for me and my family. Total unsung hero’s that work very hard.

if i could i would give it a rating of – stars as it horrendous as the midwifes do not know how to do their job right i have seen my sister in law go through a lot of pain and no care from the midwifes and disrespect and no support when …

Gynecologists are never on time with follow up appointments. Always waiting minimum of 1 hr. No acknowledgement until you complain. They never inform you that your consultant is not going to see you. So disappointing. Not a good service at all.

Disgusting have been in hospital for a week with my pregnant partner ready to give birth, arrived being told we would be delivered that night as of delayed movements of my baby, everyday they said the same thing” sorry u wasn’t delivered …

Pregnancy for a first-time mum can be riddled with concern and anxiety and, particularly through labour and during birth. Any mum-to-be needs kindness and understanding, morale support and ante-natal care. This is what my partner Joanna …

Would help if they actually answered the phone! It’s a good job it’s not an emergency! I’m 18 weeks and still haven’t had a scan yet at my midwife appointment she couldn’t even get through to them cause no one was answering! So I don’t even know if I’m booked in or not I really don’t need this worry and stress!

Hi
My daughter (first time mommy) attended the hospital 27/29th May in labour went on to deliver early evening triage staff were superb delivery staff – superb …

The care when I was pregnant at first was good then went down hill, when I went in for planned c section and sterilisation on the day was repeatly asked do I still want to go ahead with sterilisation but when baby came out needed help with …

If there was less than one Star I’d give it. If you’re intending to give birth here please please think of other options. The management of the whole process of having a baby here is disgraceful . I don’t even know where to start and the …

Due to complications in my first pregnancy i was referred to & cared for by the team in fetal medicine. What a god send they were – They always went above & beyond & nothing was ever too much trouble. Regularly contacted me with updates on weekly scan, xray results. Vicky Hodgetts & Veronica Donovan are a credit to the hospital.

This place is a disgrace. Waiting room right opposite reception and birth centre have got most discomfortable chairs for expecting women to wait on, usually upto 4-5 hours as apparently they are so busy staff to have any doctors available …

Horrible horrible horrible midwives
They don’t have any human side in them
Horrible receptionists …

Had the misfortune to use this place a few months ago. Absolutely they most awful traumatic experience I ever had. I admit some staff were lovely but the weekend staff absolutely the worst type of humans I have the displeasure of meeting. …

Keep giving poor excuses as to why they can’t induced me and its past a joke really unhappy this is why I dontnlike the NHS and they are pathetic this is the second time they have told me not to come in and my dr don’t want me going past 39 weeks and they just drag thins out worse hospital ever

I gave birth at this hospital.They don’t give you any pain relief during labour,only gas and is not helping,it made me throw up and gave me headache.The midwives were lovely but kept lying to me when I have asked for an epidural.You won’t …

Neglected me in labour and my healthy baby died shortly after birth,
Lied and covered up there neglect and got away with it when I seeked legal help. …

My wife spent all night without nurses checking on her properly they missed the fact she was in labour with no meds all night. It was only when the doctor came I the morning did they actually do anything. Terrible place sont risk it.

Not a centre of excellence. Individually the staff can be exceptional, overall the set up isn’t. It’s on a knife edge of sustainability. Definitely severely understaffed. Communication is very poor. Have your wits about you.

I was very disappointed. My appointment was with the Gynecology outpatient Dept.The doctor had a student in the room, I was told she would observe not ask me if you could observe. I struggled to understand all the information the doctor …

Had two of my sons here. An excellent team of doctors, nurses, midwives and so on… I’m just lost for words to appreciate them.

Our child was born premature, this hospital has been nothing short of amazing, everyone was really helpful and friendly, they took amazing care of us and answered any questions we had. Our little one is safe & sound and we now feel more …

Dr paraons a pure excuse for a professional gynecologists left me to die no explanations they tell lies dont care about you wellbeing there all discussing ppl at the gynecologists department never again

5 stars and a big thank you to Kate Mason and catlin Baker for the support and help of delivering our son if you ever get these two midwives you should feel honoured and safe knowing your in there hand great people thank you so much.

I have nothing but praise for the staff at the womens hospital, what was a difficult twin pregnancy i spent alot of time in hospital in 2019/2020 with my surviving daughter being born at 32 weeks she required nearly 4 weeks stay on special …
