I can only review one aspect of Wheatfields Hospice as I have only experienced the brick-a-brack…read moresale they have twice a week to raise money, and not the care home element of it. Formalities aside, I can now express my utter joy in sharing this charity shop style gem with all the Yelp readers. It is AMAZING! It is open at very odd times so some planning is required but is basically made up of a few small warehouse type buildings and a few large porter cabins and is a bargain hunters DREAM. One section houses second (or more) hand furniture like tables and sofas, and old bike parts. I picked up a large wooden mirror from here for only a few quid a while ago. Then there is a large section dedicated to clothing of all kinds. In fits of creativity I have raided this place for old clothes to cut up and turn into new clothes. Next to this there is book section with most books priced in true charity shop style at only 50p each, maybe a pound for a hardback. And there is even more - a room dedicated to junk of all kinds - plated, jars, old glasses, broken umbrellas, vases, trays, ornamental bits of glass...the list goes on. Basically any of the useless items you're likely to find in your granny's house amongst which are lying some glorious treasures. And finally, if you feel totally worn out by all this browsing there is a tea room with tea, coffee and home made cake - also a perfect place to hobnob with the local OAPs. So, finally, this is a great place to get down to if you've moved into a new house and are looking for some cheap furniture or anything else second hand.

It's like a social event when I go now - everyone's so friendly.

If you are ever in need of a doctors surgery in Leeds then Craven Road Medical Centre is just one…read moreof the many options. When registering with doctors in Leeds there is a system like some Primary Schools which concern your catchment area. Basically, if you live within a certain radius of the establishment then you can register here, if not there will be another that is nearer to you. It makes sense but is a little annoying if you are still moving house every year with the tide of students in the area, as you may have to switch doctors. The actual surgery itself is very comfortable to visit. It has a wide and spacious waiting room that doesn't smell of ill people (sometimes more crammed ones actually do, honestly) and some very sweet and helpful receptionists. It is generally not a very long wait to get an appointment and in an emergency they will happily look through for any cancellations, or other ways of suiting your needs to make you all better. Once registered, you can also obtain a username and password for online appointment booking or ordering repeat prescriptions. Just ask at the desk and see their website.

They have another surgery on Craven Road I think, but this one is closer for me. It's a beautiful Victorian building, all high ceilings and big doors and windows, and there's a car park round the back (off Grove Lane), although it's meant to be for staff and disabled customers only but there's always plenty of space so I park there anyway. There's a nifty new electronic log-in when you arrive which is a bit confusing, but the reception staff are helpful if you need a hand. The practice nurse is hilarious and very good at relaxing you if you're a bit nervous.

The Leeds General Infirmary (LGI) is a huge, sprawling hospital in the centre of Leeds and you'd be…read morewell advised to research exactly where in the hospital your appointment is before you arrive. It can easily end up being a long walk across town to find the right ward if you get it wrong. In spite of its large and sprawling nature the hospital is efficient. Waiting times are short and staff are attentive. Obviously, no one ever really wants to g to a hospital but if you do have to go to one you'd rather go to a nice, efficient one and "nice and efficient" describes the LGI well. As hospitals go it's not an awful place to be either. The wards and general areas are decorated nicely and there's art here and there. There's a Costa Coffee within the hospital as well as a gift shop and a roof top garden. The first version of the hospital was opened in 1771 by graduates of the University of Edinburgh Medical School but the current version opened in 1869 and has gone through several refurbishments, upgrades and expansions since. Much of the layout plans of the hospital were based on recommendations by Florence Nightingale. So, I would absolutely avoid ever coming here but only because it's a hospital and I would absolutely avoid ever going to any of them. If you have to be in a hospital the LGI is just fine. Besides, I was born here, so it gets extra points for that.

As with many large hospitals in big cities LGI has been remodelled and added to over the years with the result that there are carbuncles on the structure that even their best surgeon couldn't remove and lots of unexpected and seemingly pointless changes of level in order to get to your destination. Travelling through LGI is a real exercise in 4 dimensional travel. There are always going to be stories of horror, joy and grief in any hospital but my personal experience has been of rather inept management and administration coupled with caring, dedicated staff (in most areas) who do the best they can with more and more limited funding. It remains a personal bugbear that hospitals such as LGI now resemble shopping malls in places (with the exception of affordable, accessible parking). Oh for the days when you could grab reasonable refreshment from a basic but clean cafeteria run by volunteers.
