Very happy so far that this is my local practice!

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.

I'm giving this 4 stars as the service was great in the ob-gyn division from my doctor and others…read morethere. My doctor was on time and was very helpful and professional. The receptionists and some nurses were helpful and professional. However, I have one complaint - one of the nurses there was extremely rude. She really offended me! I had to bring in my 2 month old baby to my appointment. And while I was waiting to be seen by the doctor, she came over to me and asked if I was there alone and I said yes, that my husband was at work. She then rudely asked 'well who do you expect to hold the baby while you see the consultant?' I had a car seat that would suffice for a few minutes when/if needed. But for her to be so rude and abrasive (about other things as well), it was not necessary. I was shocked by her behaviour. Appalled! luckily, everyone else there was courteous, timely, and professional. If it wasn't for her, they would get a 5 star!

The Nuffield Hospital is adjacent to the Churchill Hospital. As an extension of the Oxford…read moreRadcliffe Trust, the service it provides is quite similar to these other hospitals. The Nuffield caters specifically for ailments in the disciplines of Orthopaedics and Rheumatology - basically broken bones and aching joints! As well as this, there is the Oxford Centre for Enablement onsite, which helps patients recovering from illnesses which have had a major effect on their ability to cope with day to day life. Access to the hospital is easy from Headington, or from the Ring Road and there is plenty of parking available.

Both houses provide end of life and respite care for children and young adults (Helen House up to age 16 and Douglas House up to age 40). Helen House was the first childrens hospice in the world and the idea for opening the hospice came from the wonderful Sister Frances Dominica who was at that time Mother Superior at the convent. Sister Frances was giving help to a local family whose daughter Helen was very sick which inspired her to begin the childrens hospice movement for which she is famous today.
