Here we have a small but efficient local hospital. It has an A&E department which gets quite busy during the summer months, and is a vital part of this hospital. The first thing you notice is that it is very clean and not as busy as the larger hospitals like Treliske in Truro - less hustle and bustle, it all seems quite calm, which is a refreshing change. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. There is an outpatient department which is always very busy as they hold lots of different clinics each day. There are 2 medical wards, a surgical ward and a day case unit. If you get hungry while you wait you can use the cafe/restaurant which serves some lovely food at reasonable prices. I had a day case procedure 2 years ago (had my gallbladder removed) so have first hand experience of the service, which went very well. The treatment I received was exceptional - it was almost like being treated privately. All staff were very attentive, efficient, friendly and most importantly, reassuring - I was very nervous! - I needn't have been. There have been threats to close this lovely little hospital down - I sincerely hope this never happens as they provide a vital service to a wide area of the population down here - the main hospital is in Truro, which is 25 miles away - not so easy to get to when you're ill. read more

Amazing service. They were clearly extremely busy, but agreed to see me after we explained we were kind of out of options (can't contact 111 using a US cellphone, we were travelling, and I had been experiencing a lot of pain). Dr. Olobia correctly diagnosed an issue that had already been misdiagnosed by three different doctors at various urgent care facilities in the US and the UK. She was able to recommend a simple treatment that has completed solved the problem, and I am so grateful. The NHS - lack of funding and long wait aside - really came up trumps in this instance. read more

Gee this place needs an injection of cash (scuse the pun)! Although the state if our NHS funding leads me to think that is unlikely.

Now I am feeling better its time to thank the Out of Hour Service and Penzance Hospital, When I thought I was dying (wel,l felt awful) early Thursday morning the Out of Hours Service were amazing, calm helpful reassuring and they told my husband to get me to Penzance Hospital as soon as possible and a doctor would be waiting for me( from previous experience in Northen hospitals I thought they must mean I would be waiting for them) but no, I was met at the door and immediately taken to a consulting room and Dr Schmit another lovely reassuring person soon had me sorted and I went home with a nasty dose of Gastro enteritis and all the advice and medication I would need. So thank you Out of Hours Service, Penzance Hospital and Dr Schmit. read more
