Very spacious good clean hospital with very friendly and caring staff.

Papworth used to be excellent but our last experience was horrendous.

None of the consultants/surgeons would take responsibility, the majority of the …

The doctors and nurses and overall staff are excellent however management needs to organise some training for the doormen who seem to be on a constant power trip. Having a close relative on life support is distressing enough, no need for a …

I received in 12/19 a quadruple bypass operation in this amazing hospital. Beautiful building, great rooms, and outstanding service. From the porters to the cleaners, from the nurses to the doctors and the admin staff, it was a perfect experience. I can’t thank everyone enough for making my stay so comfortable.

I was there today with my partner.
Things were going great considering they were expecting a visit from the queen!
The new build seems to have been well thought out for patients and the staff …

Really poorly signposted. My 83 year old mother really struggled to drive there and got lost, then a couple of workers had to get into her car to kindly direct her there, of course exposing her to covid. It seems such a basic thing to do, signpost it from the m11

I spent a couple of weeks in Papworth and underwent a triple bypass and heart valve replacement. At all stages of treatment I found the staff very pleasant and reassuring. I can honestly say that these people saved my life and they have the utmost gratitude.

My husband was taken to Papworth with a heart attack. He died after a week of amazing care by people who were dedicated to excellence in all aspects of their job. I was glad that at the end of his long and happy life he was treated with …

Everything was fine, the place , the receptionists and the doctor, however, they didn’t want to proceed with my case. I have an abnormality in my back that can effect the spine but they said since it doesn’t hurt you we can’t remove it! Seriously?!

Had a stent fitted yesterday and can honestly say I had the best care and service I have ever experienced with an NHS Hospital . The whole experience was equal to , if not better , than treatment I have had privately. …

My father was taken to Papworth on Monday 22nd as an emergency, within an hour they had treated him and he was on the ward recovering. You are all amazing and what you do is unforgettable. Thank you to all the doctors and nurses that are treating him during his stay. We as a family can’t thank you enough. McNamee Family

The staff were all so kind and caring. But can I please suggest though that reception staff, who are protected by a screen, could they not wear a face shield instead of a mask? It’s almost impossible to hear what they are saying. Bearing in mind they are often dealing with mature relatives.

What a life saving experience. Worn out valve & tubes replaced by a fantastic team of Surgeons, Doctors, Nurses & all the unseen heroes that make this place tick at the forefront of medical technology. The facilities are second to none, …

I had an ablation and 6 months later i had a left atrial appendage closure. The surgeons and nurses put me at ease at all times and i knew that i was in extremely good hands. Their care and expertise deserve a lot more than the five stars i can give. They are one hundred per cent top of their league.

Papworth hospital gave me a new lease of life after my by-pass surgery. I cannot praise enough surgeons Mr Dunning and Mr Tyagi and ALL the other members of the team , the nurses and care staff on the wards! You’re ALL simply amazing !
World class! Thank You to everyone!

To my Angina and having just received a TAVI Valve replacement at Royal Papworth on 3/3/20 I honestly cannot speak highly enough of all the staff plus the treatment is second to non

Papworth and st barts must be the two best hospitals in the country ❤️

I had a valve repair and an anerisem sorted as well. Had open heart surgery was on 31st Oct 17. I can not thank my surgeon and all the staff for saving my life. I am now 8 weeks post operation and recovering well. Still a long way to go but …

Had major surgery in the new Papworth over a year ago now .fantastic place with absolutely brilliant staff. If ever you have a need to go there , you should have no fears about going in .you will get 5 star treatment and care.

Medical care is good but the organisation is terrible as it was at the old hospital. Waiting over 2 1/4 hours just for a blood test – and over an hour since I was told only 4 patients in front of me! Including travel, that’s 5 hours of work …

Currently admitted after heart attack, awaiting bypass.
Cannot speak highly enough of every person involved in my care from the doctors to auxiliarys like Gary who helps keep me clean
All levels of service have been excellent. What an amazing place😊 …

Staff and doctors are fantastic. Only downside is the new restaurant. Staff hardly speak English. Don’t acknowledge you even exist. Waited over 15 minutes just to pay for a hot drink. Drink was almost cold by the time I sat down. Sort it out papworth. Everything else is superb.

Terrific hospital. Cardiology staff are superb. Even when I didn’t have change for the car park, a very kind lady in the Comms office rifled her purse to give me change! Top quality service from top professionals.

My dad was recently admitted to Papworth Hospital after having a sudden heart attack & they could not have done a better job. The paramedic team from Bedford Southwing took him straight to Papworth. As soon as we arrived the surgeons were …

I go here on a regular basis for an overnight sleep study to keep check on sleep apnoea. Over the years the staff have been consistently helpful, giving time for any concerns I may have. I have always been treated with dignity and respect …

Although fantastic surgery the sides of the bed were often left down which was very concerning with such a highly medicated patient (pain relief) that could have fallen out!! I personally put the sides of the bed up on numerous occasions …

At the age of 54 I arrived in a very bad way at Papworth on 10th Oct 2016 and was operated (pulmonary endarterectomy) on the 11th Oct and discharged on 8th November and was amazed within the four weeks after the operation how my body had a …

My husband and I visited Addenbrooks Hospital (on the same site as Papworth) but were dropped off by taxi at the Papworth Entrance. The young lady on reception at the time (15:30 on 5th July 2019, sorry I don’t know her name) went out of …

I had a lung tumor removed there and a year later following a lung infection spent 2 weeks in my local hospital who couldn’t find anything, went back to Papworth and within 3 days of admission, Aspergillus was found. The care I received at Papworth was excellent.

Great for patients or not, only time will tell, but it is awful for staff. There is not enough space in the changing rooms, no place to hang your clothes even. We are provided with a locker smaller than a rat- hole and everything has to be …

Thank you so much for the continued excellent care and kindness that I receive, from all Respiratory and Lung Doctors , Nurses, and Home Care . I have been attending Papworth hospital for 5 years now and trust you completely with my health …

It is normal for patients from Papworth to owe their lives to the hospital community as many of the comments will tell. Many of us have almost literally come back from the dead. I wish to underline the quality of the care. Care at all of …

Brought my daughter to Papworth today waited 6 hours they would’nt let me in to get a coffee got security on the door all you are allowed to use are toilets no other facilities so sat in the car for 6 hours

A colleague of mine was told if he did not have a triple bypass 9 weeks ago, within 6 weeks, he would have a stroke or fatal heart attack. He is 80 years old. Yesterday he called and was told another 6 weeks minimum. They disgust me as I …

Had fantastic care at Papworth. Nurses and doctors very attentive and really look after you in your stay. Thank you to the Consultants, surgeons and nurses who have looked after me.

They quite simply saved my life, Mr Nashef and later Dr Shapirio, wonderful staff , nurses cleaners everyone.

I was rushed into Papworth Hospital on 16th of May with a suspected heart attack, I was travelling on a train at the time from Stansted to leicester on a train. I was took off train at Cambridge station and they rushed me there instead of …

Downright rude on reception. I called to ask about a patient and because I didn’t spell the name correctly the female on reception was extremely blunt and rude. There was no need for that tone to be taken as I never talk to anyone in public service like that.

It is the best hospital ever had triple by pass 18 years ago still feel on top of the world. Been having treatment for lung disorder past 6 years in clinic and in hospital care is first class.

Most of the comments here relate to heart issues. I would like to give a big up for their lung defence/pulmonolgy specialists and department. …

Absolute shambles of a hospital. Un organised and full of under trained nurses. Avoid if you can!
