They are there to help and they certainly go out of their way to help. The practice is fairly big, has a selection of toys for children to play with whilst you wait, the receptionists are lovely and friendly. There is a selection of magazines and papers to read whilst you wait but don't get too comfy as you won't be waiting for long!

Upper Cuts (the Qype spelling of the business name is wrong!) is located at the east end of…read moreBedlington Front Street. It is well sign posted with a clean and shiny facade. There is no immediate parking spaces nearby except for a busy street or a private estate nearby. There is a car park some distance away where you can park for free and walk around however. The inside is quite small but the decor is up to date, clean and well looked after. It is a relaxing and comfortable place in which to spend forty five minutes, which seems to be the average time spent at an appointment here. I have been here once and members of my family are regulars. I find that the staff are very creative when it comes to styling hair. I did feel I could trust them to to their work and was totally satisfied with the result. The staff also make you feel at home by chatting and giggling throughout your make-over! Prices are reasonable and are competitive with several other nearby salons. The time and effort spent on you during your appointment means you definately get your money's worth! Telephone: 01670 530001 for an appointment.

The hospital itself is very modern and the koi carp are lovely. There are art exhibits all around the hospital. The food itself is typical hospital food. Remember and ask to order it though. Or you will be on basic rations until you know how.

How do you review a hospital? Wansbeck Hospital is a big NHS hospital in Ashington and a refererral…read morecentre for a lot of Northumberland patients. It has an Accident and Emergency department and consultant-led maternity unit, as well as the other hospital services you expect from a major hospital. I've been here both as a patient and as a visitor over the years. The building itself is pleasant, bright and generally clean. The pond in the centre with various koi and fake ducks (the koi fish are alive, the ducks are tacky!) is peaceful. Car parking is, as you'd expect, quite expensive and the car parks ar ebusy. They are two, one by the main entrance and one by the South Entrance where there's a nice cafe and the drop-off/pick up points are, as well as the Maternity Unit out of hours entrance. Information staff at the entrance are helpful and the medical personnel I've dealt with have been, in the main, professional, respectful and caring. The food isn't bad - I can't say it's terribly good either. The system for ordering it, while I was an in-patient, wasn't explained to me and I had two days of jacket potatoes or variations thereof - better than someone else I heard of who had a coleslaw sandwich! I still haven't figured out where I was supposed to make my choices and I don't think that's good enough when for most people being in hospital is stressful enough. It's well signposted and easy to get around and altogether a very necessary facility.

The health centre or clinic is located behind the top end of Bedlington Front Street, beside the…read morelibrary. There is a private car park with many spaces available including two disabled spaces very near to the entrance. There is also a carpark adjacent to the clinic. If you are driving to the clinic take the road leading up the bank alongside the entrance side of the Netto store and take the first right. The clinic has two sets of sliding doors which open automatically and which provde easy access for disabled people and those with prams. Inside there is a small waiting area with soft chairs. There is a small area especially for childen where they can play with books and toys. There is a reception desk at the left hand side with a small window where you can talk to a staff member to make appointments etc. The clinic now has a self check in service if you have an appointment with a GP or nurse. This works electronically and is located at the farthest end of the room after you enter. When the doctor is ready to see you your name comes up on a electronic screen mounted on the wall. This beeps when the name changes. I find this a little invasive and a bit of a challenge to privacy but it saves the staff some trouble. The doctors rooms are located in a maze of corridors. Sometimes the doctor will leave the door open or greet you in the corridor. There are mostly male GP's but if you are a female you can sometimes arrange to see a female doctor if it is an intimate issue.
