Earlier this year after a referral from my GP I attended the Nuffield Leeds hospital for assessment and treatment for a Hernia repair. The referral was through the NHS who conducted this very thoroughly and quickly, so a great service, it was most appreciated as I was very uncomfortable. Throughout the entire process the Nuffield Leeds has been faultless. Yesterday my procedure was undertaken. From walking into the hospital and leaving at the end of the day, I could not fault the helpful and lovely staff. The Hospital and all the rooms I visited were spotless and were being regularly cleaned and sanitised. Great staff doing this. My I thank you for keeping us all safe and reassured. The facilities at Nuffield Leeds are excellent, Wi-Fi, superb rooms, and after my procedures a delicious plate of food and a cuppa! All the nursing staff, doctors / surgeons / anaesthetist were very professional but also were very friendly taking time to put you at ease and explaining the procedures, a massive thanks for this as I was quite apprehensive. All went to plan, and after being given a thorough discharge and leaflets I am now recovering at home. I had a 5 hour wait for the procedures, but they explained that it had been a very busy day with 7 similar procedures taking place during the day! That is quite astonishing and shows a great commitment. I know have been very fortunate to have had this experience and also being delivered so quickly and smoothly. I thank all at the NHS and the Nuffield for their undoubted efforts and commitment in the delivery of my treatment, particularly for undertaking NHS patients. Please pass this message onto the staff at Nuffield, and thanks to all NHS staff for the delivery of a great service. An all round 5 star from me ...

The whole team at the cardiology department in the Nuffield were excellent. I received thorough and clear advice from the consultant delivered in a friendly and understanding manner. The consultant explained the issues in detail and provided a context which enabled me to understand any implications. The echo scan was done thoroughly, competently and in a friendly way. The booking process was easy and efficient. At the end of the process I felt properly informed and reassured. I would definitely recommend this team.

I would just like to thank most sincerely the whole team who dealt with me so professionally and yet in such a caring way when I had a full hip replacement at the end of September 2023 at Nuffield, Leeds. The consultants secretary was brilliant in organising my operation and also putting my mind at rest as this was the first major op that had in all my 73 years. On the day of the op, the consultant, who I had seen at the original appointment, saw me within a few minutes of my arrival in my room, as did a doctor, the anaesthetist and someone to take my order for food after the operation. Everything went smoothly (so I was told) and I settled in to my room on Ingleborough Ward. All the nurses and nursing assistants who looked after me both day and night were perfect. When I needed extra pain relief, it was brought to me within a few minutes. When I asked for a toilet seat riser to make things easier for me it was brought straight away and fitted. Nothing was too much trouble. The consultant came to see me more than once during my short stay. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The housekeepers were all friendly and it was lovely to have a chat with them when they came to my room. The physios were all helpful in showing me how to start moving about again, and I couldnt believe how soon I was walking carefully around the corridors with the help of my crutches. My whole stay was faultless and I cant think of the slightest thing that could have been improved. Likewise with the follow up treatment. As I live on my own, I needed all the help I could get, and it has all been forthcoming. On my first visit to see my physio she looked at my wound and saw that there was a very slight infection. Within minutes of her finishing going through my exercises with me she referred me to a nurse who cleaned the wound, redressed it and then arranged for a doctor to see me and give me a prescription for antibiotics. Ive been back for a second physio appointment when I was told everything is going well, the wound has been redressed twice more and Im due to see my consultant in a fortnight (just six weeks after the operation). I wish I could name names for specific praise, but it seems that I cant according to the rules and regulations. I was very pleasantly surprised when I was given the choice of going to a private hospital for this operation, and I hope that if, and probably when, I need my other hip replacing, Ill be allowed to be be looked after by the same wonderful team. Thank you everyone! Five well deserved stars.
