One of the largest hospitals in the area, but may feel under-appreciated or underused with the Manchester Royal Infirmary only a short drive away, which is the largest hospital in the country by the number of beds. The hospital was redeveloped in the early 2010s which was much needed, and the refreshed look still feels modern to this day, it is fairly easy to get around the hospital and find where you need to go, the environment is clean, and the staff are friendly, with overly good standards. I did find a huge contrast between certain areas and wings of the hospital, even down to the modern features and comfort of the chairs, but it is the NHS... you can't expect too much. It's surprisingly easy to get through to someone at the hospital's switchboard, and I was passed to my consultant's secretary and appointment line in a matter of minutes, which is how it should be, while other hospitals can be much more inconsistent. Mobile Signal in the hospital is weak, likely down to equipment interfering with the connection. 4*

No hospital is perfect we all know that but Tameside in particular gets a beating in the newspapers and on the news. MRSA and C Dif have been topics of concern and also waiting times etc etc. So take it from a girl who works in the accident and emergency part, we all work hard. It is a hard job and i understand that people do not want to be there. We are helpful and we have millions of thank you cards, but I guess that part gets missed out. Anyway it is a lot better than it use to be. Massive improvements are being made right now and are ongoing. New buildings are being made, A new A&E is being built, new everything. Yes, it was in need of a update but the service is just as good as anywhere else! Its clean despite what you may think. Take a look at the website for information on the new buildings and what changes you may see in the future.

North Manchester General Hospital is one of the older hospitals in Greater Manchester, being…read morefounded in the early 1900's, making it over 100 years older than the new hospitals in Manchester city centre. It is in the Crumpsall area of Manchester, and is in fact the only remaining hospital in North Manchester, which it of course takes its name from. It does have an Accident and Emergency of here, of which I've found to be old-fashioned inside, with slightly longer than average waiting times. The overall look and feel of the hospital, really did feel old and old-fashioned and in dire need of refurbishment, especially when compared to other hospitals, it really didn't feel like a nice place to be (even for a hospital). Parking here isn't great either, there is only limited spaces and you do have to pay which I strongly despise, the location isn't really near anywhere central other than a bus stop (with services into the city center which take a long amount of time, and a number 16 bus which runs every 2 hours into Rochdale and Middleton down Rochdale Road). Overall, poor overall feel, poor parking and overall poor nature of this hospital where I feel it is only surviving and still standing through being the only hospital in North Manchester, sadly warrants a single one-star I'm sorry to report.

In my experience, this "hospital" operates at a level of filth and incompetence that is genuinely…read moredangerous. I waited over six hours for a simple blood test and never received the results. As bad as that is, the conditions in the waiting room were far worse. There was wet vomit on the floor, dried and fresh blood on chairs and tiles, and the staff barely attempted to clean any of it. They completely ignored basic CDC/OSHA infection-control standards--no proper PPE, no hospital-grade disinfectant, no isolation of contaminated areas, and no biohazard procedures for bodily fluids (which are considered potentially infectious materials in every credible medical setting). The staff in the waiting area seemed untrained and unengaged accept to make jokes about the patients..People in obvious distress received no assistance, basic triage didn't exist, and questions were answered with confusion or incorrect information. The lack of professional etiquette, urgency, or even basic competence was shocking. A medical facility should be clean, safe, and staffed by professionals who understand patient care. This place was the opposite. It felt like a butcher shop disguised as a healthcare facility--and the patients are the meat. And honestly, a real butcher shop would have handled blood and sanitation far better. If you value your health or safety, avoid this place. What I witnessed was unsanitary, unsafe, and far below any acceptable medical standards.

Parking is at the bottom of a hill so it is a little walk - it is £1.70 for 4 hours, something I begrudge paying, as I feel it is a tax on the sick. There are the usual outpatients departments, accident and emergency and general surgery. I went inside to the enquiry desk and was welcomed by the assistant. She directed me to the blood test section, I took a ticket, waited my turn and was seen within 5 minutes. I went to the x-ray section (just across the hall) and again only had to wait around 15 minutes. The staff were very helpful and the hospital was very clean and well run. There were soap dispensers everywhere to protect against the spread of germs. All in all, a good experience.

Although over time services have been transferred to other hospitals within Greater Manchester, there are still many services offered here, which are useful for people who live within Rochdale. The hospital can be hard to access if you don't have a car, it is almost a mile from Rochdale town centre and the bus which serves the hospital is not very frequent. This is made even more frustrating when considering the hospital car parking charges, which seems extortionate for a hospital. The drop-off and pick-up area is free, so if you can have someone waiting in a car, it will be cheaper. The staff seemed nice enough, I was in and out quickly, but this was down to getting the last X-ray appointment of the day, and obviously, the staff were like me in the sense that they just wanted to get home. There is a small Cafe inside. 3* - The hospital is fine, much better within the trust in terms of facilities and accessibility with everything being gradually transferred out.

Unless you have been in the same situation you won't know what I mean. At the same time I was there there was a drunk idiot visiting also(I was drunk too but not in a twatty way) and he was being really nasty and kicking off with the nurses and staff. It seems as though they decided to take it out on me and treated me like I was him. Very unprofessional if you ask me.
