I will never go to UHND again

Story from nhs.uk

"I will never go to UHND again"

About: University Hospital Of North Durham

I had a telephone consultation with my GP this morning. She arranged for me to go to UHND as the x-ray equipment at Shotley Bridge was out of action.

In the main xray dept, the nurse calling the names could not pronounce the patient's names properly.

I had my xray carried out by an ASSISTANT then told to wait.

The assistant came & told me the report would be sent to my GP in 7 to 10 days, I asked about treatment, I was to see my GP

I told her I would be going to the RVI Newcastle A&E Dept to be seen and have treatment.

I have been a patient at UHND, I have worked there both on agency and as a company rep. I have never found it a hospital that works in the patient's interests. I won't be going there again, it is unfortunate that I live in the UHND catchment area

TH DEPARTMENT WAS X-RAY
