Redcliffe Hospital

I broke my ankle, I was referred here for my surgery, they didn’t get back to me for three weeks, to book me in for surgery three weeks later. They were expecting me to have a broken ankle for six weeks before they would do anything for me. I also got DVT which is life threatening and they had 0 care. I ended up going to A different hospital for emergency surgery. Then when I had the cast of six weeks later, I needed to get rehab. Because I hadn’t been walking for three months. It took them two weeks to make an appointment for me, which was in two weeks. So another 4 weeks before I was able to start learning how to walk again. Just to get a text this morning rescheduling my appointment for two more weeks. That’s 5 months. I’ve always ended up having to book somewhere else. This hospital is honestly ridiculous, I will never refer here, it’s the worst hospital I’ve ever experienced. Honestly what’s the point

My mum was taken to hospital before Christmas, she had fallen down some stairs at home. She was in for around two weeks moved three time. Should never have been sent home in her condition, they just needed to empty the beds before Xmas. Things we asked for didn’t get done and now she is in Royal Brisbane receiving the care she should have got at Redcliffe shame on you, would never suggest anyone going to this hospital

I have nothing but the highest praise for the wonderful and caring treatment that was given to my wife by all of the nursing staff and doctors at the Redcliffe Hospital. Her passing was made as comfortable as possible for our family by the wonderful nurses and we can only thank them sincerely for their kindness.

Every single staff member I came across was friendly, caring, attentive and explained things clearly. They made me feel very well-looked after and made sure I was okay during my time in emergency.

When I was first taken through in emergency they were great and quick. But I have an anxiety about blood tests and was butchered but one doctor, literally 3 attempts and she couldn't even do it had to get a nurse to do it. I was so anxious and it's made me freak out when ever they've had to do anything to me now. I have Pneumonia and am being made to wait anywhere from half an hour to an hour to be taken to the toilet. I've had to wait over an hour for pain relief and over 2 hours for a doctor to prescribe something to help me sleep, I haven't slept in over 26 hours. I was also moved to a different ward at 10pm as well! This stay has really made me emotional and anxious and I feel like no one is hearing me. It's really upsetting...

The Triaging System of children in Redcliffe Hospital is below standard. I came with a 5 year old who had abdo pain, projectile vomiting and SOB with tracheal tug as well as use of accessory muscles. His temperature was high. His Pulse was high. His breathing was high. He was given some syrup. It never got escalated to the Dr’s despite me notifying the triage nurse on different occasions that my child’s breathing is getting worse while at rest. She looks at me, tells me I’ll check him again but no Dr intervention. Been waiting 4 hours now with no Dr to see my child and his breathing is not getting any better. Pls do better to avoid a child dying in the hospital waiting area because of poor escalating system.

Went to get an ultra sound this morning at 8.50am. The young girl asked me a questioned about if I had a certain scan and I told her I wasn't too sure of that name of scan she said and she stared straight face at me for a good 3 seconds without blinking before saying "the down syndrome scan?!" . I politely said oh yes, sorry I had so many scans. Fyi 2 emergency scans to a little scare Over an hour went by of her measuring and taking pictures of baby,nearly an hour and a half which i didnt mind as my baby was wiggling around and moving lots. It was an awkward,unwelcoming and uncomfortable experience. I felt like i was an inconvenience to her. I felt she lost her patience and started digging harder above into my hip bones, side of my belly and under my breast SUPER HARD to the point I saw her put her weight digging into me,I closed my eyes as the pain was unbearable multiple times after I felt like she lost her patience trying to get a certain picture of the brain and heart. My anxiety didn't speak up and I am now guttered I didn't take note of her name nor speak up as I was intimated. Im not feeling great either this arvo unfortunately and really hope she hasn't caused any complications for myself of my baby.

Sat here after the fourth hour of waiting in ED. Absolutely no staff on at all, haven’t seen a doctor to call anyone through in over an hour and a half. I could have gone to Chermside or even the city, I’ve heard some bad things about Redcliffe hospital but I though I would give it a chance. Big mistake.

My Grand niece passed away in the care of Redcliffe maternity delivery ward. My niece was 10 days overdue no complications throughout her whole preganancy strong healthy, yet she came in to get induced everyrhing was all ok after checks my niece went for a c-section and baby had passed away due to poohing is what ive been told. My niece was layed to rest on Wednesday and the nurse or maternity ward need to be held accountable as baby should have come out earlier, baby was fully grown and they missed it and caused my grand niece to not live a day , God doesnt intend for these things to happen as it could of been prevented, but midwife nurse shouldve delivered baby sooner. Now my grand niece is in heaven and it was the hardest thing to do. Im laying a formal investigation into the midwife and medical team on this day as this should never happen to anyone. Im doing this as its not the first baby which ive been told. Need to put a end to this as its the precious lives of oir kids they are playing with.

The ED doctor I had was incredible! Joselyn was kind, caring and reassuring. The team leader for MAU Michelle was extremely nice and advocated for me when I was a crying mess- also all the nurses were sweet and supportive.
