I have never been to this care home but my grandmother has been a resident for quite a while. I…read morelive out of the area but my family have lots of praises for the staff and home itself. Sadly my nan passed away in the early hours of this morning and the night matron was amazing with me on the phone when I rang. I have rang several times over the last few days and the staff have been lovely and nothing is too much trouble for them. I would really like to thank all the staff who made my nan comfortable at the time she needed it most and a special BIG thanks to the night matron who was on when my nan passed away (24/11/2012) and spoke to me at 6.45 a.m, what lovely caring people.

Busy yet friendly surgery which offers the services of both practice nurse and health visitors…read morealongside the doctors. Automated phone in system to allow for queued calling rather than a dial tone. Offers a daily phone in for doctor/nurse and has computerised check in on arrival at the waiting room. Waiting facilities are basic with a fence off toddler play area (which sadly lacks many toys) Variety of magazines in waiting area although no childrens books, a wide range of medical information leaflets and posters are displayed around the waiting area. Appointments can be difficult to obtain at busier times if you need/wish to see a specific doctor. Phlebotamist also does collection from this clinic.

I cannot fault the staff here - they always greet you with a grateful smile, whatever the weather,…read moreand whatever conditions they are working in. The ability to make an appointment at this centre rather than having to wait at a tradtional donor session is absolutely great - you turn up, you donate and you're off again within 45 minutes! The centre is clean and pleasant and the waiting room is more akin to a doctors surgery than waiting room for a donor session. The booking system works really well - and after your donation, you can make another appointment straight away before you leave. The smallest issue is that parking is limited, unless you go to donate after the bulk of staff at Radio Gloucestershire have left work for the day!! I've been a donor for a long time, but always go to the donor centre now rather than a mobile donation session - it's just much simpler.

Giving blood is so much simpler at a donor centre. The Gloucester centre operates an…read moreappointment-only system so you don't have to wait. Staff are very friendly, and chat with you while you donate. I have only had one aborted donation at this centre, but that was probably me moving my arm slightly between them locating a vein and putting the needle in. They also have a large biscuit-basket for when you are finished, a good selection of newspapers, and they make you a nice cup of tea afterwards. There are slight problems - it's a bit of a way out of the centre of Gloucester if you are walking (but it's in close proximity of the hospital, which is probably a good thing) and it can be a bit hard to get an appointment. But all in all, who needs to wait for ages in a chilly church hall when you can donate at a centre such as this?

All the treatment myself and Mr Datcat has had has been painless and with no aftercare problems. If treatment is needed after a check up they will get you in as soon as possible.

My family and I have been members of Jesmond house practice since moving to Tewkesbury and have…read morebeen very happy with the level of care that we have received. the doctors all seem to know their stuff and on occassions as a teenager they were even willing to make house calls which is pretty unusual these days. The surgery itself is conveniently located in the centre of town although apparently they are thinking of moving it to a combined location with the other surgeries in Tewkesbury at some later date but I am not sure when. Overall if you are looking for a doctors surgery in Tewkesbury I would recommend joining Jesmond House Practice.

Having only lived in Gloucester for a couple of years I can't speak for the entire hospital as I…read morehave only personally seen a small part of it. I had my baby here in December 2006 and it was a fantastic experience. The midwives were amazing and they did everything in their power to ensure that we stuck to my birth plan. I ended up having a waterbirth in the delivery suite (sadly the birth unit was shut for Christmas!) and it was everything I had dreamed that it would be. The aftercare was excellent and the wards were relaxed and friendly. I've also made three trips to the out of hours doctor, once for myself and once for each of my children. There's often a long wait, but the waiting room as fairly comfortable and there are plenty of toys for the little ones. It's certainly a lot better maintained than some of the hospitals I've been to.

Dentists are calm and approachable and very good with nervous patients, plus they don't try to talk you into unneccesary work. Emergency clinic held every morning Mon-Sat so you don't have to suffer if you have a problem. Treatment rooms are upstairs so this may be difficult for those with mobility problems, but I think they can make special arrangements to see you on the ground floor if needed.

The other staff are very friendly as well - if you have an NHS voucher but don't want to use it straight away, they won't push you but they'll hold it until you need to. Furthermore, if one of your contact lenses comes out in town and you lose it, they'll give you a free replacement. Excellent opticians.
