Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust

"My husband and myself attended the Walk in Centre at Tameside Hospital today and the treatment we received was excellent.We were treated professionally, respectfully and very efficiently from start to finish and the place was absolutely immaculate..We are both very happy with the service we received and many thanks to all of you. Ann and John English."

"Took my granddaughter here today because she had a terrible pain in her lower right leg and because of the medication she is on we feared it could have been a blood clot. All the staff were fantastic from reception to doctors who run tests and immediately gave us the results that it wasn’t. All this and within 1 hour. Well done Tameside and glossop integrated and vascular departments a really organised and speedy service."

"Just coming up to 15 hours waiting to be seen - told the waiting time was 6 hours, then after 6 hours it increased almost every hour Now we’re told it’s a 14 hour delay - after waiting 15, so clearly they have no clue Communication is terrible Drunk people coming in with injuries and accompanied by police getting seen within a few minutes while the rest of us just have to wait. Im told there are still 3 people ahead of us - but no one has been seen in the last hour or more Someone else has been told “you will be lucky to be seen by lunchtime!” Not eaten for over 16 hours - not slept all night - have to start work and college in 2 hours time so can’t afford to stay any longer Will have to manage with zero sleep The person in charge just has the standard message - we’re very busy and we have no beds so we can’t even tell you how long it’s going to take Incompetent."

"Had an appointment at the Fracture Clinic this morning at 10:10. I got here on time, and waited 15 minutes, then was sent to have an x-ray. It's 11:00, and I am still waiting. Why not send people x-rays when they get there? That would work in any other hospital, but not this one. You still have to wait ages! It was the same before Covid, only now it's worse, and the virus is a perfect excuse for bigger incompetence. You shouldn't overbook clinics, which is probably what's happening, and always has. People have better things to do than water the whole day"

"Don't even know where to start. The A&E department itself is disgusting, they've got windows open and people stood outside smoking when they've got a clear sign up that smoking on hospital grounds is not permitted. The waiting times are horrendous, I had to wait almost 9hrs to see gynecology team. When I finally got seen the room I was taken to was awful, bed didn't even adjust properly and was checked and sent home in 10 minutes being told to come back if I experience anymore symptoms. The amount of tax and NI deducted from wages and this is what we get! Can't even get an appointment at your GP and end up coming to this dump. Don't think staff are even bothered."
