    All credit to the MFU Dept, who assessed, advised and gave me excellent treatment. Top marks for…read moretheir attention and service. There may be criticisms of this hospital, but the attitude, care, understanding and help I witnessed whilst waiting to be seen was outstanding. Future patients should not be put off by such reviews. Than you MFU, and ALL staff

    MATERNITY: Having given birth to my first 2 children in the US - where everything is covered by…read moreHealth Insurance and you get to control most things about your birth experience (because you're paying), I'll admit it was with some trepidation that I undertook the NHS version of obstetrics. However, having been put off by Queen Alexandra's Hospital in Portsmouth by their lack of physical tour (you have to get by with a substandard YouTube video), and also feedback from others that it was a busy hospital and somewhat akin to a sausage machine (I had one story of someone being in and out in 12 hours - and they didn't necessarily want to be processed so quickly), I decided to opt for Chichester. It was the right choice - indeed quieter, albeit a bit older looking, but still fit for purpose. This maternity ward is very well run, the midwife was very good and I got the epidural that I wanted (needed!) for my third baby. I would definitely recommend this hospital to any nervous mums. Getting the tour and having a chance to ask questions and familiarize oneself with the layout was really helpful in orientating me to the NHS way and allaying any fears/answering questions. My only pick up point was infant security. As I left the hospital the receptionist let me swan out - no outgoing checks, no bracelet checking, no escort to the door, nothing. It made me wonder what the protocol was should there be an attempted baby theft...

    If you have a nosebleed while standing atop a hilly bluff overlooking the ocean, and your blood…read moredrips down the rock wall into the sea, then it may become a Redcliff. That was quite convoluted, but what I was trying to say is that both myself and my brother were born in this hospital. It's gone through many renovations since those days, but it still gives me a creepy, unusual, and chilling feeling when I see it. It's obviously a special place to me, but I don't really like hospitals, and besides, my brother nearly died here twice, once just after birth, complications from Asthma and such. You can blame my parents for that I suppose, they blame each other for it, so why not. It's a very modern hospital that is famous all over England, and perhaps all over Europe. Plus, it has to have a 5 star because I was born there. To give it less tha a 5 would just seem ungrateful. And this is the 1,981st review I've ever written, by the way.

    It feels a bit odd reviewing a hospital. I visited a friend in here, so I can't really comment on…read morethe treatment, but on the experience of visiting as a whole. The car park is well signposted, but like most NHS hospitals, you pay on your way out and it costs several pounds. The hospital itself is a maze - there are signposts which seem to lead you in indirect routes, although you usually end up passing the help desk a couple of times to get more directions. It doesn't help that there are several entrances and exits on different floors. The hospital has a fairly nice atmosphere and doesn't seem too clinical. Some corridors have nice pictures on the walls, the cafe is wonderfully cheap (cheap squash, simple but cheap filled rolls) and there are book stalls and charity stands dotted around. It definitely feels like a place that is full of life.

    My partner was admitted as an urgent case with bladder blocked with blood clots and urine…read moreretention. and catheter problems . The reception was not at all friendly but we eventually made it to a room where a male nurse tried to change his catheter . Not very reassuring or kind when the patient was in terrible pain. actually screaming in pain. The nurse adjusted the catheter which was full of blood and I think fitted a new tube . All the while the patient was screaming in agony . Then a (black) nurse arrived to check his blood pressure . Also very cold and unfriendly . Eventually after many hours he was taken to another area where the doctors were and this time a lovely nurse helped him and gave him some water. Later on a doctor came and seemed to understand he had this dreadful pain but still trying to adjust this catheter. . It was so bad I blocked my ears and was eventually taken to the relatives room nearby and a lovely nurse gave me a cup of tea . I could still hear the dreadful screaming but eventually I had to get home and called a taxi with help from some of the very sympathetic staff. They were all English and lovely , I have to say. I am not racist by the way, just saying the truth of this. I got home after about 9 hours . I stayed as long as possible and am I glad I did ! I gave my partner some support I believe in a terrible situation It gave me nightmares when I got to bed. I think a lot more care and sympathy at the initial reception would be most valuable and getting all the staff to be kind like the good ones are . I always thought Bournemouth Hospital was very good but now I think its a matter of luck how one is treated . He also appears

    A very modern building, in fact a very clinical maze!…read more If you feel like getting lost, this is a good place to be. If you are visiting someone, you can be pretty sure that the grapes in the bag will be somewhat dried out before you locate your patient. I no longer visit here! It seems certain operations are carried out here and so people have to travel all the way here. Very strangely, the maternity unit cannot cope with any type of complication, so some mothers are transported to Poole for cesaerians, blood transfusions, etc. I think the blood transfusions are set up before they leave Bournemouth! A lot of mothers end up in one hospital whilst their babies are in another. Parking is tricky in that you invariably nd up as far as possible from where you need to be.
