Yeovil District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust reviews

I was admitted to Yeovil hospital on Christmas Eve, at around 19.30, with a dislocated hip. All the staff were caring and professional. I received the best of care from every member of the team that dealt with me. I can’t fault my experience at all. A BIG thank you!!

Yeovil Hospital is wonderful. Unfortunately I had cause to attend Accident and Emergency whilst on holiday. I was seen by the triage nurse, X-rayed and dealt with by a clinician all within one and a half hours! This was followed up by a …

Big thank you to the staff at yeovil hospital. My elderly mum was admitted for a week with breathing problems. They all took great care of her and nothing was too much trouble for them. Thank you especially ward 9A. It’s a pity some other hospitals aren’t as caring and well run….salisbury for one!!!

I needed to visit Yeovil Hospital yesterday on the advice if the 111 service. The professional service I received from start to finish was exceptional which whilst feeling particularly wretched was both welcome and appreciated. Wonderful staff. Many thanks.

Visited a very sick friend and saw filthy floor with dry bodily fluids asked if it could be washed and still on floor at next visit
Since my visit I have gone down with a sickness bug and although unpleasant …

During these days of NHS criticism we are so fortunate to have this hospital in our town.
Having had frequent visits over the last few weeks for various procedures and …

I am sitting here in the ‘luxurious’ YDH ‘departure lounge’ having had my appendix removed 23 hours ago. I was happy and able to go home with my friend today. I told ydh that she couldnt collect me until around 6/7pm. Thus I am freeing up a …

Stayed here for a week I must say level of care was outstanding even thou drs were on strike we saw a couple of drs on the ward working.

YDH is a credit to the NHS.
Even at the must difficult of times the compassion and professionalism shown is beyond reproach. You can even park easily now!!

We’ve had 2 A&E experiences, and 1 maternity experience at Yeovil. Every time we’ve been, the staff have been friendly, genuinely caring, and very efficient in their roles. Don’t have a fault to make. Thank you all

Went to YDH A&E they failed yet again and ended up going to musgrove the attitude and care from YDH is way below par sadly if you require safe care take the trip to musgrove

Paramedics took my elderly Mum to A&E after a fall at home. Thankfully I was allowed to go into the department to be with her because she has dementia. I got there quite quickly and found she had already had a scan and was in a cubicle. The …

My partner was taken into Yeovil Hostpital on the 31st of July and it was one of the best experiences she has had! She was taken in by ambulance, booked in straight away and was seen within 40 minutes of waiting! The Doctor who saw her …

Yes, we had to wait our time for our son to be seen in A&E but considering the number of people these guys have to deal with, even on a mid-week evening, is beyond what we might comprehend. Big-up to all of you for what you do and a …

I was referred by my GP today with a curiously painful knee. From the moment I hobbled in through the A&E doors, the service I received could not have been better – anywhere. It was busy, not hectic, but everyone; receptionists, triage …

Visited the Emergency 1 week ago, arrived at 11.30am, and had to wait there until 19pm to get the results and consultation to a doctor.Otherwise, after all, my issues was solved.Thanks all.

Went to day theatre on the 28th May. Helpful and professional staff, put me at my ease and throughout the whole experience I could not fault them. Posting because I have heard negative comments about this hospital; my experience was quite the opposite and all the staff I came across are a credit to our NHS.

So after being poorly for quite some time I am pain free and the light at the end of the tunnel is dazzling. I will never ever take another day of my life for granted that’s for sure. …

Ive been in and out of hospital a lot over the last couple of months and most of the staff have been amazing i only experienced about 3 rude staff. Otherwise i was looked after well and was checked over and recieved excellent care. I had …

What healed me apart from the medicines was the incredible staff. There for 5 days I was in wonder at how literally all of them, on all levels were so loving, kind, considerate and patient.So much love, what an amazing bunch of people. The great NHS ,the UK’s pride and glory. You will be safe here in their hands.

I recently received care at Yeovil hospital after being admitted for appendicitis whilst on holiday. The care I received during my time on wards 7B and 7A was incredible. The nurses are like little angels, nothing is too much and the …

We had a long wait, but that’s because the Neurologist is very thorough & when it was our appointment ( 50 minutes late) he didn’t rush, he had all the time for us he’d bestowed on those patients before, so can’t grumble.
Staff from greeting, to nurses are all very friendly.

Fantastic staff from the moment you walk in. The doctors and nurses in 8 B and 7 A were so kind and attentive at all times. Morale throughout the hospital is really high. Congratulations to all.

I cannot speak too highly of this hospital. My husband, who suffers with dementia, was brought in to A & E and from the moment he arrived, with barely a wait, to the time he was discharged almost a fortnight later he was treated with kindness, compassion and care. Excellent treatment. Thank you.

On 16th April I had to go into Day Surgery for a transesophageal echocardiogram. If I could award six stars I would. The staff were friendly, kind, thoughtful and very professional; and I felt absolutely safe and in very good hands. They …

Thank you to ambulance crew, paramedic and all at A &E yesterday. Kind, caring, efficient and quick. Even under such testing times everyone I came into contact with yesterday were amazing. We are so lucky to have Yeovil hospital. I’m used to East Surrey and they come nowhere near Yeovil

Absolutely disgusting. I have DNAR on my records and someone resuscitated me and now they are trying to change the paperwork lying to cover their backs legally.

Just come out of Yeovil hospital after a 5 day stay. The nurses were great and felt well cared for. The only let down I felt was being kept informed of what was going on As I was given 3.different leaving days. A 5 minute chat each day about medication and what’s going on would be great

My dad was in hospital from Monday – Friday. It didnt look like he’d been washed properly or assisted to be shaved. Now i know you’re short staffed but this is pure neglect. My dad has always been a well kept man and when we saw him this …

I initially gave Yeovil Hospital a 1 ⭐️ review this was down to me being kicked out by security spilling my coffee.This was because I don’t agree with the mask protocol which in my opinion is bad science and nearly some sort of mumble jumbo …

Would like to share that everybody was fantastic during my visit on Sunday. The moment I got to A&E my details were taken and I was seen within 20 minutes. From then on everything was fast moving and each doctor/nurse I saw were extremely friendly and useful. Thank you for sorting me out!

The nurses and staff were amazing, put me at ease and even had a laugh. The place was busy with plenty to do but everyone had time for me, no rush just professionals, very impressed, especially with some EU staff, first class.

Dirty
Unhelpful reception staff
Medical professionals are better but not by much. …

I have had 2 gastroscopies in the Endoscopy Department. The staff were totally professional but also so sympathetic and understanding during what is not an entirely comfortable experience. I cannot praise them highly enough. We even managed a laugh or two. This is the NHS at its very best.

I was taken to YDH yesterday (29/10/18) morning after falling from my horse and I could not have received better or more prompt attention. I was seen straightaway and scans and x-rays followed soon thereafter. When so much criticism is levelled at our remarkable NHS we should hear more of the Good News stories.
