Fairfield General Hospital reviews

Today Monday I was told to go to the Walk-in centre there. Driving to the car park was Horrendous. Cars parked all around on the pavements on corners had to struggle to go round the corners no spaces at all. Couldn’t even stop for cars …

The hospital and staff are great. My only downside to report is the parking. Although it looks like there is alot of parking it is extremely difficult to get a parking space close to where your going. We have used the a&e facility a few …

I was in Ward 3 yesterday for day surgery, a busy place with lots of patients. I have to say from the moment I arrived I was met with nothing other than kindness, compassion and utter professionalism. The nurses, surgeons and admin staff …

fell down the stairs and injured my back. The ambulance came because my heart was hurting and took me to another hospital. Unfortunately, the ambulance easily left me in the wrong building without any help or report, and I was without a …

Sharon Turnbull- an exceptional nurse, looked after my fathers today and my family and I will be forever in her debt. She was so friendly, calm and professional in what looks like a war zone, with so many patients needing attention. In all …

My husband was admitted to Ward 7 via A & E and Rochdale Infirmary during Easter Monday and spent a total of 5 days in the hospital. We cannot praise highly enough the efficient care and treatment he received in all areas. We would like to …

The parking is absolutely dreadful. Tiny small car parks, people parking their cars on curbs and hardly any spaces. Much more staff parking. I get this hospital must have a lot of staff but what about patients? The parking has really put me off wanting to come back!

The hospital is not too bad and the staff are ok but terrible for parking , sometimes there’s no space at all to park , they need to sort the carpark out as its cramped and its hard to drive around looking for space . I took my mum today …

Called the outpatients department to book an interpreter for my mother as I am not allowed to interpret on her behalf. I was asked for her NHS number, DOB, address etc. Once I confirmed all these details, the receptionist asks if my mum is …

Be prepared for a wait with A&E but no different to any other hospital. Always found treatment to be pretty quick once you’ve been assessed. Doctors / Nurses are always helpful and professional. My go to hospital.

I was on ward 2 after a heart attack. The care I received from all the staff was outstanding. They are very skilled and professional. The kept me going with , fun, laughter, inclusion, and care. They are fabulous

I was in hospital recently,the consultant m Dowling was amazing,kind and reassuring the staff on ward 12 looked after me extremely well ,obviously nobody really wants to be in hospital but the whole experience was made as pleasant as is possible,I just want to say a massive thank you to all the doctors and nurses xx

In and out in 4hrs…for A&E departments,success.
Had expected a more traumatic experience. Thanks to the staff who were professional and personable ..smooth transition throughout. A special shout out to Chris in UTC. Could not complain about anything. Keeping the faith in the NHS.

I went here at 9pm after a call with 111 about my endometriosis pain as it was unbearable , they told me to go to Fairfield hospital as it would be under appointment and would be less wait time than Bolton A&E. The moment I got there I was …

Great people work here! I’m in ward 12 right now, everyone is very helpful, answers questions, is interested in the condition of patients. I feel safe and taken care of.

Not a nice experience last time. Waited 7 hours to then be told to go to a different hospital. Absolutely ridiculous. Wouldn’t go here unless my life was in danger, which it was last time. The NHS need to sort the hospitals out.

Serious review needed.
I called 111 for my brother, they called 999 ambulance required brother was having heart attack. …

Well with out going into much detail,
I was there for a outpatient appointment and it wasn’t the sort of one you talk about but even though it was my first time, …

Thanks to the nurses and staff in the silver heart unit ward one especially nurses Lynn Sophie and Charlotte and John the porter
He made me feel at ease down in the theatre you are all a credit to the hospital the nurses kept me well informed couldn’t have asked for more well done you are stars

It is the worst hospital to go to in emergency. As my mum was treated as nobody while she is a cancer patient was suffering a chest infection. I would rate zero. The date was the 8th of April at 8.30pm which ever nurse came to look after rashta parveen did not do her job properly. She expected me to do everything.

Took my daughter to A&E yesterday to see if her apendix had issues. Only to be sent away saying its proberly just a stomach bug. I’m now sat in A&E in Oldham with her being operated on because of her appendix.

Parking is horrendous. I spent nearly 30 minutes trying to find a parking space. Eventually I gave up. I parked in a side street opposite the hospital only to get a parking ticket as its permit holders only. The day after I parked on Aldi car park and walked the 1/2 mile.

Do your best to avoid their A&E!
I had an 8 hour wait, with agonizing pain and fever, left on my own in the waiting room, without anybody checking on me, only to be sent to their UTC in the …

This is my own opinion which I would like to share. I stayed at Fairfield Hospital Ward 14 for just one day.A small surgery.
The nurses who work in Ward 14 are amazing.Unparalleled professionalism and …

My partner was rushed by ambulance to A&E diagnosed with neutropenic sepsis kept in department until 17 hours later then taken to ward 7 staff in resus were very attentive but in majors he was not seen by the ward staff for nearly 2 hours …

While my friend was in a lot of pain, they made the patient wait for 7 hours and after that long just one nurse who doesn’t know about anything see and didn’t do anything. They have the worst service and do not respect people’s time and …

If I could ZERO stars I would. Went for bloods. Some girl, I’d like to say nurse, but that was questionable, plucking her eyebrows in the mirror, in the same room I was having bloods done, while the other one was booking a holiday on the …

It is ridiculous that an hospital has 99% of the car parking reserved for staff only and 1% for patient. Spend more then hour to look for a park and obviously I missed my appointment. What a disappointment.

Great staff so caring and helpful. Made me feel looked after . Will be visiting for a few more times . Only issue is parking . building a multi-storey would be an advantage

“I have had more experience of, ‘The Irwell Unit, Signet North & South Psychiatric Ward’s,’ Than I Have Of The Main Body of The Hospital. I Have Had A Few Times Over The Years Where I Have Had To Pay A Visit to The, ‘A&E Dept.’ In Cases …

Thank you to the Fairfield and Salford ICU teams, the job you do while providing as much dignity, reassurance and care that you do is absolutely out of this world. Thank you for everything you have done, it will forever be appreciated.

Paeditric A&E- you’re a wonderful bunch! My daughter was starting to get a bit scared with her breathing today- by the time she was transferred to NManc today, she was saying how much she liked it and wants to come back! You definitely put …

Was in ward 14 for a new hip, just over a weeks ago not impressed, to be quite honest couldn’t wait to leave. Cleanliness was a big issue with me. Staff ok but Cleanliness was laughable. Couldn’t wait to leave. Not impressed.

I went there this morning for a gastroscopy and was treated from start to finish with the best care and attention ,the staff were friendly and made me feel relaxed

Things haven’t changed with pennine trust after being out in special measures. No disabled parking. Staff parking in bays for hospital patients etc. Rude staff, very bad lack of professionalism. Constant mistakes, bad working attitude …

Long wait but understand the priority is to see more urgent needs, the staff work as hard as they can and seem to not stop. …

I had to attend Fairfield A and E last night with a heart problem. From the moment I arrived I was treated with respect, dignity and compassion. The Nursing staff worked as a team, they were very professional from the porter who took me to …

Thank you to all the staff at Fairfield Hospital Bury with a special thank you to all the staff on Ward 12.
It was such a long wait on the waiting list for my operation but when I did …

My baby at six weeks old kept having fit’s. Started at 2weeks where he couldn’t get his breath, constantly crying then the fit’s, took him here, with video of him. Was given medicine for reflux but my gut feeling is more to it. As …

You can always tell the strengths and weaknesses of a hospital by the way its A&E service is run. Oddly, I am not a local resident, what happened to me is that my main local hospital was over subscribed on a Friday night and the ambulance …

This A&E seems very unsafe.

I visited on Saturday and ended up waiting 10 1/2 hours from arrival to seeing a …

Arrived at 10.30pm by emergency ambulance with very high blood pressure and shortness of breath. Soon put in a cubicle, had observations done & bloods taken. I was then left on a trolley in the corridor until the day ward opened at 8.30am. …

Absolutely disgusted. Arrived at 11pm last night in absolute agony with my cyst on my ovaries. Had my bloods done at 11:40pm! Didn’t even get seen till half 7 this morning to have a quick examination on my belly take a urine sample and say …

Absolutely excellent. The IBD team and the doctors are second to none. I’ve been under there care since being hospitalised in 2011 and have received the best care from them ever since. Even during the COVID pandemic I still received all the …

I was in E&A with baby more than 5 hours. my baby had fever. they keep me more than 5hours. maybe for all hostpital just have one doctor or keep us till doctor start job morning… E&A means we need care quick not 6 or 5 hours. It is funny …

Had a colonoscopy there on Sunday (great for working people) – what can I say – treated with total respect and dignity from start to finish – I was terrified and they (Melissa in particular) were kind and concerned about my welfare took me …

Pooor Pooor Pooor Pooor Pooor
What is meant by a term Emergency when there is no doctor available to look after you for more than 7 hours. They will just say “unfortunately we do nit have …

My girlfriend was in severe pain, was stressed and crying, people who work there were extremely rude, didn’t listen nor they listened to what was wrong with her, staff were absolutely the worst.

Very clean ,excellent medical care professional staff ,best hospital in North West England

I cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful caring staff on the accident and emergency department at Fairfield General Hospital . Nothing was too much trouble and delivered with a smile . …

After being rushed to Fairfield on the 13th/10/21 with Covid phunmonia I pretty much owe my life to this team of wonderful people.
From the Ambulance crew who came to my home to arriving in A&E Resus and being …

I live in hope that one day, I will be able to arrive at a hospital not stressed out about getting there, parking and finding where I am supposed to go from the random starting location! Thats a bit general. As I always say, its the staff that make hospitals bearable, Fairfield is no exception, thanks to them for lifting my day 🙂 …

My GP referred me to this hospital because he suspected I was having a stroke.
I arrived about 1 pm. …

Parking is always in short supply at every Hospital
Add 15 mins to your journey to find a parking space.
Multi storey parking would be a great advantage to FGH team and patients
Ground floor for disabled and FGH team members

After calling the paramedics to my elderly, partially blind mother suffering chest pains( the paramedics were amazing) they advised I take her to A& E, so I could go in with her because of her low vision (she would have to go alone if they …

A massive thank you to the hospital staff who were incredible, dedicated professionals every one of them. Also the porters who looked after me from my arrival to my departure. Just a fantastic experience, hopefully I won’t be back anytime …

Absolute brilliant place, my daughter was at the children’s out patients having a docs appointment and a few tests and a xray, she was over tired and worked up would be the mild way of putting it, the staff was absolutely brilliant with our …

Beautiful Nurses, Beautiful Doctors thank you for making a Hospital Phobic patient feel less Anxious. These people need Medals as well as Pay Rises.

Do not bother with AnE. Came in with chest pains and had coughed up blood. 6 hours later I had to discharge myself because I wasn’t being seen by a doctor and it was starting to affect my mental health

Avoid as much as possible. 9 hour wait times but when you ask how long it will take they say 1 hour to stop you from getting up to leave. 9 hours is a absolute joke.

Son in head on collision yesterday, crash on MEN website and he’s lucky to be alive. Presented at A&E tonight with worsening pain and tingling in hands Told by first doctor he needed ČT scan of neck. Second doctor told him he doesn’t …

I had a total hip replacement on Monday 28th March and I have to say that the staff on ward 14 are brilliant.. I was very scared and very nervous about my pending op but right from my constant mr Bonshahi to the cleaner made me feel relaxed thanx everyone

My 2 years old boy had a blood test in the outpatient pediatric unit and from the beginning to the end, nurses were absolutely brilliant. They put him at ease, distracted him with toys and books and job was done very quick and easy. He just had a tinny little cry and that was that.

To the Ward 14 staff and the theatre staff, of Fairfield General Hospital Bury where I have been since May 13th …

Can’t praise this hospital highly enough. Was sent by my GP with suspected stroke symptoms to A&E and was totally impressed with all the treatment I received. From entering to leaving, the attention to detail was brilliant. From triage to …

Waiting time is too long approx 7hrs for my issue to be sorted. The staff are brilliant though

Honestly the worst hospital there is, I’m not just saying this the A&E department is horrendous the waiting times are an absolute joke I understand it can be busy but when there’s people waiting over 10 hours to be seen not just me but …

My daughter with special needs went in today on ward 12 for her teeth cleaning, xrays, possible extractions. I would just like to say how professional and friendly all the staff were, from the ward staff, porter and to the anesthesiologist. What a positive outcome. Thank you all so much.

Just had the most exceptional care for 3 days in ward 7. The staff were excellent made you feel better with their cheerful attitude. Clinical care was top notch. Although you pay to park it is reasonable.

Thanks to all the wonderful staff in Bardoc and A and E for the care and attention given to me today. Thankfully it wasnt a stroke but everything from bloods to scan was done with professionalism and kindness by everyone involved. My …

Excellent service from the friendly security guard on the main entrance to all the nurses and doctors on the ward. arrived at ward 14 for a minor procedure and from beginning to end nothing more than the upmost professionalisation nurses …

Spent 6 hours in A&E, to then finally have the bloods taken. Was told this would take a maximum of 1 hour for a result, however after 2 hours still no result. When asking about the wait time got told to wait another 2 hours until a doctors …

Hardly any delay in A&E with superb, friendly and professional staff.
