The care we received from Kay for the birth of our second baby was incredible. She respected our wishes to have a home birth, even if our baby continued to be breech, as it had been the entire pregnancy. She allowed me to birth instinctively, completely under my own guidance, which was very important to me. Our baby was born calmly and comfortably at home just as nature intended (head down!) Kay continued to visit until our baby was one month old supporting me in anything and everything I needed. Every appointment was un-rushed, in the comfort of my own home and something I looked forward to. I highly recommend choosing Kay to care for you during your pregnancy, birth and postnatally. She really is a dream. Thank you Kay.

Can't say enough about how wonderful Virginia and Kay are. Would recommend them to anyone planning or expecting a baby. 5 star rating simply isn't enough, they need a sky full to come close.

With Virginia you have an expert; she is an oracle of knowledge and experience for pregnancy, birth and beyond. Virginia's book ‘The Baby’s Coming' is a must read for anyone interested in pregnancy and birth. She is an Independent Midwife and you can hire her to be your midwife all the way through your pregnancy and birth and afterwards for breastfeeding support and the like. I admire her so much.

I Have been admitted to this hospital many times throughout my life. Very professional and kind staff and doctors who always take very good care of me. I highly recommend this hospital fantastic people. I cannot find any fault in the hospital at all. I have come to this hospital all my life and never had an issue. I really appreciate the support and help I have received from the hospital 👍👍❤️❤️

As a patient of the dressings clinic of the burns unit I was in continuous extreme pain.Although this was logged on a 1 to 10 scale there was no interface with any pain consultant.The nurses managed to show almost no empathy and the medical supervision seemed almost invisible.Although the trust Pals team were wholly supportive and encouraged a complaint nothing happened as a result of this.If a Pals team has little or no power it usually is very bad news for the patient.Getting hospital transport in virtually impossible although I was on crutches.Three letters to the Chief Executive eventually sorted the matter out.As a carer and carer governor (elsewhere) I have decades of experience at the hard end and this was just about the most negative experience of the NHS to date.The clinical lead was of no help and my local pain clinic immediately saw the seriousness of my situation and gave all possible help.The dressings clinic staff need empathy training and pain control issues need to be embedded within a training module. The service needs to be joined up with psychological input in place and patients need to be given access to detailed information about negative outcomes.

Extremely competent, polite and helpful, even at 3am! I showed up with a screaming pain in the neck and a fever so they thoroughly did blood test and were able to discard worst case scenarios like meningitis. At that point even with the horrible pain I was feeling embarrassed to disturb them for a neck spasm or something similar, but they told me I did the right thing coming in, gave me treatment for the symptoms, all of that in the middle of the night and with a smile. Huge sympathy for those guys working crazy hours for our health! Thank you again
