AVOID DR EDWARD S GAYNOR…read more I'm a young female university student. I needed an emergency doctor appointment after being in crisis in the early morning yesterday. A doctor called (didn't know their name at the time), he sounded like an older male, I told him about my depression timeline and suicide attempts. I was nervous talking to him since last time I willingly had a male doctor was 6 years ago (the last male doctor spoke horribly to me). I mentioned my American fiancé supporting me throughout, and he replied: "You're not really helping yourself having an American fiancé." I was taken back by this comment and felt like I had to validate everything else I had to say after this. I called the doctors again this morning asking the receptionist for female doctor instead and to cancel the appointment with the male doctor since I was uncomfortable, explaining what happened, he replied: "The doctor you spoke to is one of the top doctors in the GP, I doubt he actually said that." I feel doubted, belittled and hopeless to chase up about my mental health now. Overall, if you're concerned about your mental health, avoid Dr Edward S Gaynor. Put a really bad impression on the GP since he's "one of the top doctors"...

Despite no longer being a student, as part of the Brownlow Group I occasionally get sent to this…read moresurgery, and it feels weird being surrounded by students who, 60% of the time, are blatantly trying to get an extension on coursework. I can understand how if you are used to going to The Infirmary or the Ropewalks surgery it may feel odd coming to a surgery in the middle of a university campus, but the good thing about the Brownlow Group is that you never have to wait longer than a week for an appointment as there are 3 surgeries to choose from. They treat you just like they would in any other doctor's, although the gossiping receptionists sometimes forget to lower their voices. Still, it's entertaining! There's an electric touchscreen self-admission point so if you've lost your voice or are highly contagious you can sign yourself in. Although, if you're highly contagious maybe you should just stay away from public areas... The waiting time is a little longer here (I blame the moaning students) but everyone gets seen in the end so no need to worry!

If you're planning an exotic holiday in some far off land, chances are you'll need to visit this…read moreclinic. Here you can get professional advice on health and safety precautions when travelling abroad as well as any required vaccinations and tablets. There is a charge for a one off consultation with a medical professional which I think is around £6. This fee is deducted if you require vaccinations. Well Travelled runs a drop in service from 9-12 but get there early as it can get quite busy and you may not get seen. Alternatively, evening appointments are offered. Before you visit the clinic I recommend that you check the nathnac website: http://www.nathnac.org/travel/index.htm for details of vaccinations you may need when visiting your chosen destination. Also, consult your doctor as you may already have some of the required vaccines and, if not, some can be provided for free on the NHS. I visited the clinic in late May in preparation for a trip to Kenya. The staff were very welcoming and the service cannot be faulted. The nurse administered Yellow Fever injections and provided a debrief of all the injections my travelling partner and I had had, she discussed potential risks in the area and the precautions that we could take to lessen these risks, printing off some relevant information for our interest. She was very knowledgeable and thorough. The injection cost around £50, which I thought was pricey, but I have since heard other registered Yellow Fever centres are more expensive. Besides, you can't put a price on your health.

When I asked if they knew a clinic that might be open the telephone operator almost laughed, saying she could hardly recommend I go somewhere else.

Liverpool school of tropical medicine should be ashamed to be associated with these people.

In the start of 2025 I was taken to WHISTON HOSPITAL by ambulance to A &E there is spent 8 hours in…read morethe back of an ambulance then 3 days in the corridor before and allocation of bed on a specific ward was available as I need a separate room due to personal illness and being a C Diff carrier so it's a precaution. But I had to go back on the 14th Dec to A & E once I'd had my bloods done and assessed I A and E it was only a matter of 3 hours then I was allocated a bed on observation ward then treatment began. 24hrs later I was moved to the correct ward in an a room allocated bed. This was a vast improvement which not only assist ing my physical but mental well being in itself. I have being a long term patient in and out on a regular basis been given the best care available by the doctors and nurses at Whiston and can only commend and praise the work and the treatment I have been given. Whilst I was in A&E I must admit I did see a lot of footfall come and go wanting treatment which could've been acquired and was more suitable for the walk in centre locally at the Millenium or seen a doctor if they had rang the surgery to make and emergency appt. The life and capacity is being square out of A&E due to these factors. I would like to give a huge thankyou to the drs and nurses at Whiston Hospital. Whom along with treatment have not only shown me their care but with compassion and empathy also. Hats off to you Whiston Hospital you can only work with what you've got but within 6 months I myself have experienced a vast and impressive improvement. Thanking you Donna McLean

Poor care, my mother says she would rather die than go to Whiston!!…read more The place is new and soulless, clean and tidy, but no care, staff talk between themselves, while you stand waiting to ask for help. They managed to lose my mothers belongings, broke her hearing aid, they could not understand how important a hearing aid is, thinking shouting at a deaf person is the only answer. When you ask for info the Drs answer was I have not seen her, the nurse pulled out a scrap of paper from her pocket!! what happened to records? To telephone you need a password, but you have to go in to get the password, the system is just not right. Car parking a joke, no info on the web site, even parking attendants telling you to park on the grass, taxi ranks full of cars parked in the wrong place. Not enough disabled bays, so cars just dumped all over the area. WH Smiths is so expensive just to buy water or sweets, at least Costa Coffee was ok. All in all It was very disappointing, when the care is so bad for patients they say they will not press the care alarm again, it must be bad. Some nurses were lovely, but it was never the same staff each time you went so confusing and upsetting for elderly people. Come on Whiston, do some fine tuning, make the patients feel cared for, and improve the food, terrible compared to Newton. Its not only medicine that gets people better.

Apart from the injuries themselves I have fond memories of the place. The staff were always very friendly, kind, caring and helpful. It was as if they couldn't do enough to help and make me better. Now as an adult I have returned to Alder Hey and the lovely atmosphere is still there. The staff are all lovely and seem to totally love their jobs. I have friends whose children have been inpatients or just visited clinics here, and they really cant praise the place enough. The main corridor is 1/4 mile long, but it is lined with murals and paintings on each of the 3 floors which makes it interesting, attractive and less scary for the visitors. This is a great hospital and I cant praise it enough.

In fact, it was a specialist Dr here that first diagnosed me as a sufferer after years of horrendous nose bleeds. I used to have to visit Alder Hey at least once a month for blood tests, and any time that I needed any dental work or operations, this was due to the fact that my blood couldn't clot properly and needed to be thickened before and during any treatment which I was at risk of bleeding throughout. I actually used to look forward to visiting here as the staff were always so friendly towards children, and the murals that decorate all the corridors used to fascinate me. This is a truly great children's hospital, unrivalled anywhere in the North of England!

Thanks to Dr. Zein and his team's friendly, patient's centralised attitude. I had many cases when I needed Dr. Zein's advice due emergency (my boy kicked his milk tooth by accident) and he was helpful and kind to my boy. My tooth was chipped last Friday. I phoned the Practice and I've got an appointment for this week. Generally, it's difficult to get an appointment at NHS. I'm very grateful to have Dr. Zein because it's very difficult to find a good, decent Practice/dentist nowadays.

As well as GP services, there is an onsite NHS Dentist and Orthodontist who also provide Dental Anxiety Management sessions for those filled with dread about getting their teeth treated. Treatment Room Nurses can provide all manner of treatments including blood tests, dressings and ear syringing, and the Podiatry services are taking new referrals weekly.

Spurred on after watching 'The Liverpool Story' where the iconic premises are featured.

As when the doll was returned to me soon after by post it looked absolutely stunning. The doll has huge sentimental value and every time I look at it, it makes me smile.

I've never seen anyone in this shop, and they only open 4 days a week, but fair play to them. If you know any Borrowers, perhaps you could furnish their house for under £20!
