Poole Hospital Nhs Trust

My mum recently was admitted to Poole Hospital, and I will say that certain parts of the hospital have good facilities, while others are seriously lacking… The staff on the ward that my mum was on were terrible! Arrogant and uncaring! And this made me angry enough to wright a review.
Now the main thing I wanted to state is the food, if you can even call it food! It’s disgusting! My mum ordered no plate of food for one of the courses because my mum has trouble swallowing so she can only have soft food, so she ordered soup which was like water and 2 semolina pots, but she didn’t get the 2 semolina pots… She got one, well… A little bit in the bottom of the container! And I was disgusted that they are giving this to old people! How are people supposed to get better when they are not getting a decent amount of food of good quality? They can’t so just needed to state this!
All in all it’s an okay hospital but some things need TLC and quickly! Xx

I was very impressed with the overall standard of care and cleanliness on The Day Of Surgery Ward at Poole
Hospital, where I attended as a patient in October 2012. I was equally reassured by the diligence, compassion and cheerfulness displayed by all staff members. Despite quite a large intake that day, the system ran like a tight ship and therefore worked efficiently and to the benefit of all patients. If you are due to attend, fear not ! You will be in safe and caring hands throughout.

The present Poole Hospital (formerly Poole General Hospital)
has been where it is since 1907.
Today, the care it provides is fairly formidable, with a High Dependancy Unit, Coronary Care, a specialist Cancer Unit and a Neurologist specialising in Brain Injury. The A&E unit is very high tech, with patients being brought from all over the county once they have been stabilized.
Originally the hospital was in a property donated by Lady Wimborne in 1857 in Market St. It was known as ‘Cecelia’s Hospital for in her honour. In 1907, the hospital moved to its current location, but was no more than a seven bedroom house. Over the years it has been added to. In the last ten years, they stopped adding, and redisigned parts of it. Now it looks a bit tidier and the interior is much more pleasant.
Some wards have stunning views over the harbour.
