This time, I was sent to Victoria Hospital. It was fairly easy to get to, with both train and bus stops near by. I took the bus to get here and it was an easy hop off and back on kind of stop right near the hospital. Walking up, I'm not sure if it was the day or what, but it's very peaceful in the area, I even mentioned it to my guy when walking up. There is a nice little sculpture garden which just adds to the niceness of the place. The building is quite new (not sure how new) but some of the hospitals I've been in around here are surely much older than this one. The entrance is quite open and bright and there is a wee cafe just to the left where patients and visitors alike can enjoy a cuppa. There are signs posted everywhere, so it's quite easy to find where you're going, even though I did get lost coming out, but I was eventually guided to where I needed to go. The staff are friendly and I was in and out with not too much of a wait. I'm always early anyway, so I expect to wait a tiny bit either way. I'm not a huge fan of hospitals (who is anyway), but this one is quite nice.

Only waited about 15 minutes and was taken back for the procedure. The nurse practitioner and her staff were great. I opted for the sedation because I'm kind of whimpy. Easy procedure.

So expensive to park here in the multistory. £1.60 per hour is a shocking amount to charge someone who may be here for several hours. The general layout - not much can be done given the age of the place but it is a rabbit warren with so many clinics and wards hidden out of reach. Unfortunetly I have had appointments not followed up correctly here on more than one occasion which is frustrating howver I now want to move onto the positives. More recently I have had to attend for appointments and procudures and the nursing staff have been AMAZING!! Nurses often get bad reviews in the press but i cant thank the ones I have met recently enough. They have made so far what has been a stressful and upsetting time that little bit easier. Well done guys!

My appointment was on a Saturday, super early in the morning (8am) and I was able to get parking easy enough. It's free on the weekends which is a huge help as I had forgotten to bring cash with me that morning. Walking in, it was like a ghost town, but I was able to speak to the information desk personel and was pointed in the direction I needed to go. Since I was early, they were able to take me in before the person who was meant to be there but never showed up. Score. I was taken in to the MRI room by a really nice lady and was told exactly what was going to happen. After I was put in to place on the bed, I was asked if I wanted to listen to music since the machine is quite loud. Since it was around Christmas time when I was there, they had Christmas music to listen to which made my day. i was in and out of there in about 45 minutes, which wasn't too painfully slow. The staff here are really friendly and helpful and I didn't mind my visit in the slightest.

I hate talking about people like this but the smell that was coming from her and the attitude that i was greeted with first thing definitely made me never want to be a patient there. This is not the standard that you expect from a private hospital, needless to say i wont be back and I would not recommend it to anyone else. If you are looking for a private hospital please go to Ross Hall.

Right, who the hell designed this place?…read more I've not seen as many confused looking people in one place since evolution was taught in my high school in Paisley (who you callin' a monkey!). Now I'm pretty sure it's not just me, but the design of this place is just wrong in so many ways. I'm not gonna bore you with any of the details, but it's suffice to say that on you're visit here you'll turn around at some point and realise that you should infact be going the other way... and be two floors down. Oh and another thing. Bank machine please? I think they might (might have one in the shop on the main floor, but when that shuts?) Oh and another thing. Food people! This hospital, or certainly the section I was in, is a maternity hospital, so will at times play host to a bunch of hungry dads to be. With the canteen shutting on weekends (wtf? Babeis don't do weekends??) this means that any hungry dad with need to remain just that... hungry! It's three star, but barely. I may well update when the babe arrives!

As far as hospitals go, it's not bad. The new building is a lot more approachable than the previous…read moreoffering with a bright, clean open space. Whilst it still has a very clinical feel to it - as a hospital should - it's considerably less oppressive for people who aren't big fans of the hospital environment. The ground floor hosts the day surgery, information desk and other public areas such as the cafe and toilets. The majority of the clinics are on the upper floors and are accessible by lift or stairs. The staff on the information desk are always friendly and very quick to answer any queries, which is comforting in this sort of environment. Stobhill also houses the local Minor Injuries and Out Of Hours clinics, which are accessed from a separate entrance round the side of the building. One of the big issues regarding Stobhill is the lack of parking. There are three car parks - one at the main entrance, one across the road and one slightly further down the hill - and they are pretty much always jam packed any time after 10am. I'd usually recommend arriving in plenty of time in order to get a space!
