Royal Papworth Hospital

When having to go through such gruelling surgery the one thing you need is to feel cared for and to feel safe in the environment and that is exactly what my husband experienced. Second to none care , absolutely fantastic Staff from beginning to end .

Staff were great, very caring. Gave all relevant information. Well organised we were there for 3 and a half hours, pre admission appointment. Cafe was OK reasonable self-service Costa coffee.

left my dad wearing the same socks for 9 days after open heart surgery and the room not regularly cleaned. budget hotels have better service than a supposed world renowned and outstanding nhs hospital.

My general experience at hospital was always very good, people are very polite, welcoming, helpful, it's a 5 stars experience if you could walk in there.If you came by a car like 99% of patients then you had to park at the close parking Car Park 2 operated by Saba. If your visit lasted between 2 and 4 hours like 90% of those at the day ward then you had to pay £10.20 for the parking. Yes, it's more then £10 nowadays.it could be half that sum but you'll find out about it after you come back home and it will be too late for the refund because they accepting discounts only when you show your appointment letter at the Car Park reception. No phone calls or emails will save you later, you paid, you didn't read the small print, you are a looser and that's why you pay £10.20!I met 3 receptionists, 2 nurses and one doctor during my visit and no one told me about Car Park rip-off charges.It's a crime on my wallet in broad daylight, thanks!

Staff are friendly, welcoming and understanding. I feel they understand my care and I do have full trust in them. The grounds look nice in areas but look really scruffy in other areas.

I was taken to the Royal Papworth by the paramedics on Friday night. Following my procedure to have a stent inserted I was transferred to 3 South East Ward and then on to 4 North West ward. It didn't seem to matter which doctors, nurses, or any other members of back up staff who were working nothing changed as far as the care, commitment, professionalism and friendlyness were concerned. Both rooms that I was in were absolutely spotless and well equipped. I cannot speak highly enough for every member of staff and thank them sincerely for getting me on the road to recovery so quickly!

What amazing staff so kind and thoughtful. I can't ever remember going to a hospital where everyone had so much empathy. Everyone knew what they were doing and the tests were done exactly on time. Well done.

Back to Papworth today for the results of CT scan futher to a procedure 5 years ago to remove a tumor from my right lung and the news was fantastic ALL CLEAR. Would like to pass my heart felt thanks to Adam Peryt, David Meek and all their team for everything they have done for me.

At a time when you have so many fears everyone at Papworth, during my stay and surgery, from 23 September to 9 October, I have never felt so at ease. The levels of care and skill were beyond my comprehension from the guys who looked after me and my room, the nurses who looked me over this period and the surgeons, doctors, nurses whose skill and care were nothing short of fantastic.Thank you all doesn’t even come close x

Inpatient 2022, follow up September 2023: this is a world renowned hospital specialising in lung and heart transplants. The hospital has disabled parking outside the front and in the multi-storey car park. The hospital is very modern and very clean and very large. It has a lovely outside area near the cafe by a pond with plenty of seating. They use screens to direct you to where your appointment will be and your name shows on the screen- but they ask if you are happy for this to happen when you check in at reception and there is an option to use a pseudonym. There are lovely additions such as antique equipment/memorabilia/uniforms on display and artwork. There are casts of the surgeon’s hands who performed their first transplants too. All the staff I came into contact with were very friendly. The doctors and nurses saved my life when I was here in December.
