Leighton Hospital reviews

Really friendly staff who help me find the department I needed and helped me get my drink out of the vending machine after it got stuck. No wait times. The building is run down and will be replaced thanks to the local MP who campaigned for …

I had to call an ambulance for my husband on the 29/12/2022.
We were on a corridor altogether for 10 hours.I have to say the care we were given by every member of staff we came into contact with was exceptional. …

Disappointingly poor A&E service. Took my wife there today with a serious knee injury, and after waiting over an hour in a very quiet triage area (less than a dozen people who had already been seen), we realised that they were seeing …

My mum Sue Higham was admitted with a broken femur early hours on a Saturday morning and had a metal plate put in the following day. From the paramedics that brought her in, A&E staff, surgeons, physios and nurses on wards 10, 21b and 19 …

The maternity services at Leighton are excellent and I can’t fault the staff or thank them enough for my experience. The pre-natal care is thorough and efficient: you get seen quickly with very little waiting time, plus it’s so easy to get …

I had a total hip replacement,and the whole treatment was excellent.all staff were efficient and polite. Ward 9 was very busy and I would say under staffed. Checks were timely and drugs for discharge were ready in advance. The best hospital in my experience. Thanks to all

Had MRI over four weeks ago, not heard a word. I decided to finally chase today to discover my scan images had been “outsourced” to a different company and still hadn’t been reported on!! Just hope it’s nothing life threatening that needs …

Excellent excellent excellent! What a team they have in the urology and endoscopy departments. They treat you with compassion and humour as you go thru your treatment plan. Highly recommend every member of their teams.

Most of the people there had not had an accident, they should of been seen by the out of hours doctor, who is on site!

I was taken to A & E on Sunday 29 January by ambulance. I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the staff I came into contact with from the paramedics, doctors, nurses, auxiliaries,cleaners and reception staff. My wife and I received first class treatment above and beyond during the time I was there. Exceptional.

My mother who is 95 years old, had a fall and 999 was called, a nurse recommended an ambulance and a scan as she is on Apixaban. She didn’t want to go to the hospital because of the way she was treated last time. We got her to agree as the …

This is the best , amazing experience whenever I went there , no long waiting just straight away treatment . I really appreciate Leighton hospital staff .

What kind of hospital allows nurses to diagnose, tell a patient they do not need x-rays and sends them home to take Tylenol for pain. My fiancée went there in excruciating pain on two separate occasions a week apart and both times he did …

Disgraced by the amount of hypochondriacs that the triage service let in! Mainly OAP’s with just needing slight care from family and clogging up the NHS for current hard working taxpayers. Go private or not to a far better hospital that …

Yet again leighton have failed to provide the care I need failed me for the first 16 years of my life now they fail me again after waiting 12 months for a endoscopy and to be medicated for ibs as symptoms are serve now continuously in the …

Absolutely shambolic. My paterner and I were booked in for an induction yesterday at 2pm. It was cancelled and moved to 5pm later that day (not a problem as these things happen). We turned up at 5pm only to be told that no beds would be …

Rude, ignorant, arrogant, incorrect surname, then incorrect marital status, abrupt, unpleasant, unfriendly, parking, rude on the phone, not listened to my opinion, worst Hospital I know and for my best friend and daughter. Another hospital ive been were opposite to this place!! Rather move house to not go here again!

Terrible, as they saying goes ‘ they couldn’t find their arse with both hands’. Constantly missing appointments, denying the letters I am looking at/showing them IN PERSON even exist, rude unhelpful staff. You’d be better of trying to have a go at treating yourself.

Abandoned with a sick child vomiting in the children waiting room. I had to clean the vomit myself as the staff from the hospital only came and covered with bips and left. This is a children’s waiting room with many other very young …

I’ve got very quick help. Thank you so much all staff. And I wish you happy New Year 2023

I was treated like a child who didn’t know what was best for me. A midwife ignored my choice of not seeing a consultant and went behind my back to get another member of staff to convince me instead of going to arrange the aromatherapy I had …

Please keep driving, find the next hospital and try there. Wait times atrocious, staff stand behind the doors peering through then running off laughing at the people waiting. No one knows whats happening and dont bother to come back to you …

Good hospital with convenient parking and plenty of staff. The only trouble is that lots of stuff seems very inefficient/wasteful.

Big hospital, parking is free for 25 minutes and then £3 afterwards.

No words can disgraceful this place is if I could afford go private I definitely would!!!! I’m not saying the whole hospital but a&e is an absolute joke especially letting kids waiting for hrs in pain no regards for there suffering and pain an absolute disgrace

This Hospital is one of the best in the area but there are to many Chiefs and not enough Indians. The general Nursing Staff are great but some higher Nurses seem to be a little stuck up themselves and forget once they were student nurses …
