Birmingham City Hospital - Birmingham

I had a CT scan today and I’m pleased for the helpful nurses and team work. They so professional and quick to do the appointments.
No long queue, I come a bit early from my appointment time.
There is good waiting area for patients, toilets and accessible toilet available in the waiting area.
Vendors available out side the MRI & CT Scan Department, just in the main entrance of City Hospital.
I been told, City Hospital will move to the new hospital Midland Metropolitan University Hospital by the end of October or early November this year 2024.

Attended a maternity ward visit with other birth workers and Doulas. Very clean ward, lots of rooms, neonatal unit nice. Cosy birthing rooms. My takeaway was how the community midwives made me feel . Things have far improved since I gave birth here in 2012.

Great support from the staff. Visited for the first time, the staff were friendly and helpful.
I can see great teamwork and professionalism.
Appointments were maintained as scheduled.
The patient waiting areas were great accessible toilets.
There were also good parking spaces.

This was my first time visiting this hospital and I was horrified by the exterior of the building. It was cheap cladding and paint peeling off. I proceeded into the building and there was no main reception desk, so I was lost. The was a cafeteria as soon as you enter the building, and the food smell just hits you in the face. The hospital itself is very outdated to say the least, the corridors/wards had overfilled bins, the toilet had a used patients gown left out - This is a serious hygiene risk. The hospital looked like a old haunted Tudor times primary school. Nonetheless, the doctors who looked after me, were lovely. But this hospital is in dire need of a refurbishment.

The most unsanitary place I’ve ever been it is a health hazard how disgusting this place is blood all over the sinks and floor tell me why when I came in at four in the morning their was sick left in sick buckets on the side of the waiting room and when I go to the toilet to continue throwing up theirs pee all over the place so I had to leave because it was too unsanitary to be throwing up in I came back later when I was feeling a bit better to properly get checked out tell me why at 11:50 the sick was still left on the side. Bare in mind the staff don’t know how to do their job properly I got asked a few questions because I was throwing up a lot of blood and after a feel of my stomach she then just gave me a prescription not telling me what was wrong with me so I had to ask she said we think it could be acid reflux or a stomach ulcer but get it checked out with your local gp but I’m a student who struggled with travelling expenses to get home to see a gp and struggles to find the time if it was as serious as a stomach ulsa and if I’ve been throwing up blood quite often I think it should have been checked then and there I wish I’d have taken more photos of the disgusting unhygienic mess this place was in but on the second photo theirs the sick carton and the other two are some pictures of the dried blood

This was the most insane visit to an a&e I've ever had in my life. When I came in we waited 3 hours and had my blood and ecg taken. I was then told we had to wait 5 more hours as the total wait time was 7 hours. I have had to come back to my hometown which is 2 hours away to now get treatment. Also the treatment of staff here is beyond disgraceful, staff getting sworn at by patients and nothing done to protect them from constant verbal abuse. The waiting room was beyond overfilled with patients standing up due to lack of space.

I can't confidently recommend this place if your struggle is with mental health crisis, agoraphobia, isolation, anxiety etc.. ✌? ?even if their vending machines make nice hot chocolate ? ☕? !

I was there overnight waiting results and it wasn't noisy but the smell, the bright lights, the chatter around me.. uncomfortable rusted steel chairs (makeshift napping beds), depressing decor..

Kudos to the hardworking staff doing everything they can to deliver best care and services.. but maybe somethings needs to be improved by the govt..

This is to review the A&E department. I would just like to thank the Government (2024) for breaking the NHS. The wait times in a+e are in double figures. I think the staff are trying their best but sadly are understaffed with little support. I'm not sure what the "emergency" in accident and emergency actually means.
