Daisy ward was excellent. Lovely staff. Really clean.
I had a left hip replacement at the Hinchingbrook hospital in 2022 performed by Mr Johnathan White. The operation went well and the aftercare was very good. The only criticism I have is that I was discharged without any follow up i.e. physiotherapy which would have been beneficial and was given only 1 sheet of A4 paper with some very basic exercises. Luckily I am computer literate and was able to find further exercises on the internet to help me along.
I was looked after so well and all the staff were very helpful and caring.They gave me every confidences that the procedure would be successful .
I was told to stay off work, whilst I was investigated for some tests. Initially, I had been to A and E a week before for the same issue, but only the second time I was bought in by ambulance. I was feeling poorly and couldn't put my finger on why I felt so unwell.
These tests came and went, I was still waiting to be seen and given some results. Nothing.
I contacted the relevant department only to be told I was now going to be seen by another hospital. No change in patient charter and I didn't request this, as it was miles away. It was already a done deal. I informed PALS. No joy there.
After talking to the cardiology secretary, who sat there playing God, I realised that they didn't actually care about my situation, in fact, they didn't want to hear it.
A wise Consultant, once told me, if your Dr sends you away for a long period of time, it is because they do not know what is wrong with you and hope by the time they see you next, your problem has been resolved.
What a wise man. I am still waiting to be seen for results one year later. Would you have confidence in a service like this? Would you recommend the to friends or family?
I rest my case.
As a health care professional I was deeply impressed with this hospital, the facilities and the staff.
I could not have been in safer hands.
Everyone I met at Hinchingbrook hospital was polite, friendly, caring. The food was good, far better than I expected & all in all, this hospital & its staff deserve a medal.
My only issue was the height of the bed and the attached bedrail..It was very difficult to get in and out of bed and very painful after just having had a knee replacement operation. The ward itself was cold at night and warmer bedding would have helped..
Although under a consultant in PCH, I had my hip replacement at Hinchingbrooke Hospital. The staff were all wonderful and made every effort to make sure i was comfortable and not in any pain. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I would happily go back if the need arises.

Fracture Clinic receptionists were exceptionally rude, aggressive, and unhelpful. Policies meant that although I was looking for continuing care, they would not accept a referral and I had to present at A&E and pretend to be an urgent care patient to get into the system. This wasted about 4 hours of my time, and wasted the time of nurses, doctors, and consultants when my treatment need was clear-cut and did not require any A&E treatment. Hospital generally disorganized and unclean.
