Excellent in all respects but PLEASE do not refer to your patients as "Darling" it is condescending although I know it is well meaning ! Preferably use first name or alternatively Mr / Mrs. Either would be more appropriate when addressing a patient.



Apart from the above all staff were friendly, cheerful, helpful and made me feel like a valued customer.

Nessi from Peterborough (aged 25 yrs) treated for Metformin and further recommended medicine

The staff and doctors at the Fitzwilliam Hospital were very considerate and thorough with their tests for a condition I had suspected I had for some time. Their ultrasound was more detailed than one I had at a previous hospital which had failed to spot that my ovaries were polycystic. The endocrinologist at the Fitzwilliam was very helpful and he was able to start me on the medicine I needed to take in order to aid my weight loss (and prevent diabetes).

C M from Oakham (aged 55 yrs and above yrs) treated for full joint replacement

Despite long waits for telephone answering, the appointments for initial consultation were made speedily, admission arranged for convenient time and whole procedure handled efficiently and carefully.

Nursing was excellent, and my own needs re drug therapy were considered , physio was excellent.

Its hard to want to eat in such circumstances and meals appeared unattractive and very large so I ate little.

My room was , like many , noisy, and although clean at the start, when I walked around it barefoot and got on to the bed a considerable amount of dirt was left on the sheets.

I'm at home now, recovering well, well prepared for managing around the house with plenty of information about further management.

All in all a satisfactory experience.

Mr Bajwa, his team and all the staff were welcoming, reassuring and professional.



I was only in for day surgery, but was offered a spotless private en suite room, and given a choice of refreshments during the post op recovery.



The theatre staff were very attentive, post op staff were very precise in their observations and the discharge process was thorough.



A very positive experience - thank you all!

After an endless wait for treatment on the NHS, I decided to pay for surgery. Initial consultation within weeks and 5 weeks later the operation. Clear instructions about appointment schedule and isolation and thorough pre-op examination.

Successful operation within 2 hours of admission. All staff friendly, helpful and informative. Accommodation excellent although meal sizes too large for me, however delicious food. Physio excellent and ensured I was truly ready before I was discharged. Follow up appointments organised with lots of contact details if required.

The Fitzwilliam hospital is convenient to my home and set in pleasant grounds. I cannot recommend this facility enough.

Emma from Lincoln (aged 45 yrs) treated for Lumber micro discectomy

I received fantastic communication prior to my admission by both admin and consultant who explained the procedure and advised me to view the leaflet for the procedure on the British Association of Spinal Surgeons which I found very beneficial to support me in understanding the operation.

The admission process was very good and everyone who visited me during this including the Anaesthetist, pharmacist, consultant, physiotherapist, nurses, and catering were all very pleasant and all made me feel at ease carefully explaining their own input etc.

I have to say the overall care I received at The Fitzwilliam Hospital was excellent and all had a fantastic bedside manner and caring attitude.

Discharge procedure was also very smooth and included all instructions from managing pain over the next few weeks, time when clips would require removing, what to do and what not to do and the importance of the exercises I have been advised to complete.

After care was also explained well including follow telephone call from both the consultant and physiotherapist.

I was also very impressed with all the hygiene measures in regard to COVID 19 and I felt very safe.

Overall experience EXCELLENT

A big thank you to everyone involved in my procedure.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New year too

The initial booking and pre-operative assessment were very smooth and they made a real effort to work to a tight schedule. Admission was also excellent. The operation went well, great early outcomes and post op recovery and transfer to my room were also seamless. Once in my room the nursing and physio service was great - timely, helpful and professional and the standard of the food was extremely high. My one niggle would be that the discharge seemed rather muddled and slow even though we got there in the end. I had a courtesy follow up call as well. .

The pre assessment was fine and very thorough.

On the day of the operation I was taken to a room on the upper floor near the operating theatre and left on my own for a long time before being moved to another cubicle and left again. I found the isolation very stressful and there was no reason why my husband couldn't have waited with me to offer moral support. When the left eye was operated on as NHS patient at Lincoln, the whole experience was much more patient friendly.

Last month I had an operation at the Fitzwilliam and can only praise everyone at the hospital for their professionalism, understanding and care throughout the procedure.

I was very apprehensive of being put to sleep for the operation, but the Anaesthetist, Mr Blake and his colleague Scott explained everything to me and allayed my fears. My Consultant, Ms Gummar was excellent and explained all the procedure to me.

All nursing staff were very professional, friendly, understanding and caring, couldn't do enough for me.

The food at the Fitzwilliam is great, tasty, well cooked and plenty of choice. My compliments to the Chefs, kitchen and waiting staff, as good as a fine hotel.

The cleanliness of the hospital is excellent and again these staff were very friendly.

I cannot fault the Fitzwilliam at all and would thoroughly recommend it. Thank you.

MiniHealthBlip from Peterborough (aged 35 yrs) treated for Laparoscopy

Mr Bruce Ramsay is an excellent Consultant Gynecologist...I cannot recommend him highly enough, But the nursing care I received from my assigned nurse was quite poor all things considered. She was very nice, but I was not told how my operation went or given any advice regarding showering, pain, the dressings etc. I took longer than usual to recover from the anesthetic and so was not able to think clearly to ask these questions. I would therefore have expected a trained Nurse to volunteer the information. My Mother, who was fraught with worry, was not looked after either...she asked for a cup of tea, which never arrived. All the other Nurses I saw were lovely and very supportive. The room I was assigned was clean & beautiful and the chicken salad I had was absolutely delicious (and 100% gluten-free - something I was very worried about as a Coeliac). Finally, I would like to mention that the Consultant Anesthetist, Dr Appadu & his right hand man took amazingly good care of me - I cannot thank the whole surgical team enough.

Arriving at the Fitzwilliam Hospital last Thursday with my husband, I checked in at the Braithwaite Suite . Before long, another lady and I were collected and taken by lift to a waiting area on the floor above by a gentleman who introduced himself as Alex.



Alex showed us to separate curtained cubicles. He explained the procedure and we were able to undress and don our theatre gowns there.



The whole atmosphere was quiet and calming. I was able to make a couple of telephone calls and use my iPad whilst I waited to be taken to the theatre. When I returned, l rested on my trolley bed for a while and then, once dressed, I was moved to a cubicle with a comfortable armchair where I enjoyed an excellent cuppa with biscuits before my husband arrived to collect me



Alex then took me downstairs to the Braithwaite Suite's reception area where my husband was waiting.

Stevie B from Bourne, Lincolnshire (aged 25 yrs) treated for Abdominoplasty

I arrived at the hospital in good time to be welcomed by the reception staff who immediately directed me to the ward, where the nursing staff were waiting for me. The room I was allocated was pristine and very clean, and I was made to feel welcome by all the domestic and nursing staff.

The surgical side of things was equally pleasurable (if you can use that phrase) from the anaesthetist to the surgeon and the nurses, who were very attentive and explained everything that I needed to know.

Post operation, the nursing staff were helpful and were keen on getting me mobilised as soon as was safe to do so without putting my surgery results at risk. I was surprised at how little pain I felt and I declined all pain relief (although I think that down to my physiology), but the nurses kept an eye on me to make sure that I didn't require medication.

Months past and after some consultations with the surgeon, I'm almost done with the post operative care; and although I suffered a few issues with the stitches, the hospital were very attentive to my requirements and gave me all the assistance and advice I needed.

The consultant, Mr Duranni, was throughout, very professional and gave me all the information needed about the surgery and what I could expect from the procedure and gave excellent post operative care.

Shirley the plastics nurse was also outstanding, as were all the other nursing staff, but I had more appointments with her!! She also was attentive and talked to me about my ambitions from the surgery and to make sure that I wasn't expecting things that couldn't be achieved.

Overall; an expensive treatment to have, so attention must be paid to the professionals in the treatment and care of the wound!! This information and care is second to none!

I never thought I'd say that an operation that I was really nervous of, turned out to be a really positive experience. All down to the fantastic care of the nursing team, pre and post op. Also the amazing Mr Malata. I cannot speak highly enough of him and feel very lucky to have found such a skillful surgeon and thoroughly nice man!
Special thanks have to go to Shirley who put me at my ease before the operation and was there for queries afterwards. Never causing me to feel like I was any trouble at all. A truly wonderful nurse with the best people skills I have ever encountered.

Caz from Bourne (aged 45 yrs) treated for Removal of Ovarian Cysts

Where do I start, the care here is wonderful like other people I was quite scared and worried but the staff were amazing at looking after me and explaining everything that was going to happen which made me feel so much more at ease. My Consultant Mr Sriemevan is a wonderful man, so lovely and did a great job and I am recovering really well, and I am assured any problems I only have to pick up the phone. Last but not least the nursing staff are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble for them even when they are busy. If I ever need anymore treatment The Fitzwilliam would be top of my list, well done.

Worry Wart from Oakham (aged 25 yrs) treated for Laparoscopy

After being told that I had a cyst that potentially needed removing I was terrified. Having never been in hospital before I had no idea what to expect. I was given my first appointment with a gynaecologist (Dr Gumma) very quickly. She was brilliant at explaining what needed to happen and why. I always worry in these situations but the medical secretary (Kate) was great at keeping me informed about what was going on in regards to when my surgery would be taking place, any results that I needed and sorting out the payments from the insurance company. Every time I rang I was afraid that I would be bugging them but they always reassured you that nothing was too much trouble. Both Kate and Dr. Gumma did everything they could to make this worrying time as easy as possible. I had the best care whilst I was in the hospital from the nurses and the facilities were brilliant. The surgery went well and I have made a good recovery. If you are unlucky enough to find yourself in my situation I can not recommend the Fitzwilliam and Dr Gumma highly enough.

Bettina Lutterodt from Peterborough (aged 45 yrs) treated for

I have received the highest standard of care from very professional staff at the FitzWilliam Hospital. Everything they said was as it was, they kept their promises and treated me very well and made me feel at ease throughout the whole procedure. From the minute I entered the hospital I was looked after until the moment of my discharge when I was accompanied back to my waiting family I felt really cared for and was looked after extremely well. I could not have found any better service anywhere else. The receptionist was very helpful, the nurses who looked after me pre- and post-operative could not do more than they did and the anaesthetic nurse and the anaesthetist made sure that I received the correct medication and advice. All in all it was a very pleasant experience at the FitzWilliam Hospital.

As an active community nurse specialist, reaching the end of my working life, I have at last seen a return to good nursing care alongside technical competence.
From my surgeon, to the cleaner, who all paid an important part in my treatment and recovery, I have nothing but praise. There are a few who stand out as extra special in my care, and they know who they are.
If you require any further information, please feel free to contact me.
I am now nine days post operation, and continue to improve daily.

Dave from Spalding, UK (aged 45 yrs) treated for Hip replacement

This was my first major operation and my care and the time that the staff spent re-assuring me and explaining my options prior to the op a could not have been better. Post operative care was absolutely superb and everyone was very caring and helpful especially immediately after when I suffered considerable pain. I would definitely recommend this hospital to anyone considering the private option.

Have had several operations over the last few years and I have always been treated well in the fitzwilliam. The hospital does not feel like one, it really is like a Hotel.! if it wasn't for the nurses wearing uniforms, you would think you were . A very high standard of care in all areas, with genuinely caring staff.
Have got to mention my consulant Mr Abdullah, he is an exceptional man, kind and caring but most of all a man who take great pride in his work and who is very much aware of how much it matters to women to feel whole again.

Kerrygold from Whittlesey, Peterborough, UK (aged 35 yrs) treated for Ongoing care as chronic conditions

Have been visiting this hospital for various treatments and follow-up for about 5 years now. Always receive what I would consider to be excellent care. The consultants I have seen are friendly, professional and always explain everything, so you can under stand. I always leave knowing what the plan is going to be and feeling confident I am in good hands. I have had to stay in for a week for treatment too, and the rooms are comfortable, private and clean, with a patio door out to the fresh air, a TV and en-suite bathroom. The nursing staff are always on hand and meals are lovely. I believe that without the high standard of care I receive at the Fitzwilliam my life would be very different.
