I was recently admitted to Solihull Hospital for a THR ... I have to say the ward (14) was spotlessly clean, the nurses and HCA's were all wonderful, caring, kind and they respected my dignity at all times, despite be being in rather a mess multiple times, they cheerfully cleaned me up, changed my bed ect with a cheery .. it's ok don't worry.Special shout to Kirsty, Joy, Noreen, Dawn, Becky, Jane and others who I'm sorry I didn't get their names, there was a HCA with dark hair done up in two little top knots like mini mouse who was also very kind ....also thank you to the student nurse Tommy.Staff responded to buzzers promptly every time, day or night which was very reassuring. A very different story to experiences at other hospitals.There was a good selection of food which was always hot, perhaps more simple meals like jacket potatoes with cheese and beans and more salads is the only improvement I could mention, there were a variety of hot drinks with biscuits served during the day.The cleaning and catering staff were also all lovely.The surgery went well so a big thank you to Mr Hamed and the anesthetist & team.As an OAP with some past medical issues I took a little longer to recover, I did think a couple of the physio's were not as understanding as they could be, everyone recovers at different speeds and as I'd had 2 days of projectile vomiting and the other end, a temp of 40° and low BP I wasn't feeling too well, but I was trying very hard, however at times this didn't seem to please them and I was told this was a day case procedure, which for some it may be (I was in 6 days) but once they'd ticked their boxes they left me alone thankfully.The outreach physio follow up calls are brilliant and very helpful thank you Claire.Overall I would rate Solihull Hospital very highly and would recommend it to anyone having orthopedic surgery.Thank you to you all, Suzanne.
