What a beautiful place the staff were wonderful.
This is the most welcoming hospital I have ever walked into, the Drs. Nurses and support staff are professional and very caring. The hospital is very clean, airy and bright, nicely decorated foyers with plenty of space and seating to relax and have a coffee. I have had the best care ever at this hospital by one of the best medical teams, Mr Hidalgo's. Thank you.
The staff there are amazing. Thank you all for the care you gave me whilst I have been under your care. Xx
The staff are wonderful over worked and under paid, nothing is too much effort

The NHS at St .James Institute of Oncology saved my life.Couldn't ask for more than that.
Such kind caring nursing staff they love their jobs
Respect, dignity, and empathy. Three words which describe how Jimmy's look after patients. Our NHS at its best Massive thanks to all in oncology and especially ward J94 and #teenagecancertrust �
My husband was admitted to j96 on the 5th september sadly he passed away on the 9th september.But I wanted to say a massive thank you to the staff on the ward who gave him the best care they could have done in his last few days. My husband Chris myself and all our family were treated with so much kindness ,compassion, the staff are a credit to Leeds teaching hospital. Also I wish to thank the lung specialists nurse,s who were there for us both at what has Been the worst time in our life's.
THANK YOU to each and everyone off you.

Love this hospital they so polite and good cafe very expensive though but hospital clean
Its a nice place and very nice staff :)
It's a great place,helpful,fit Nurses
I've been a patient here for many years. The care I have received has been quite exceptional from everyone. I'm now on clinical trials, although my cancer has been quite a journey, they have helped me get through.
I was transferred here for my radiotherapy after surgery at Barnsley (another excellent hospital). I cannot praise the staff in the Princess Royal Radiotherapy Suite highly enough. I was treated with the utmost care, compassion, and respect, throughout what would otherwise have been a very traumatic time. The Bexley Wing itself feels extremely welcoming, light, airy, modern, lovely artworks, great facilities. Thank you all.
I was in for 29 days very ill, the Doctors and Nurses are fantastic, the Nurses are run off their feet, sometimes was only 1 nurse on duty all night, they deserve all the money they get and it should be more.
I visited a colleague and friend receiving treatment for cancer. I was very impressed with the bright clean hospital and the friendly professionalism of the staff. It was clear she was in good hands.
I have had radiotherapy for the last month at Jimmy and care I have had a s been so good. Staff all were lovely.x
I have been taking my best friend to the St James's Oncology unit for 6 weeks. I have been humbled by the astonishing staff, and amazed at the facility. Long live the NHS !
I can't think where to start .... I know right from the very first day we walked into the Oncology department at Nova Suite with my 89 year old Aunt who had recently had the devastating news that she has two tumours on her brain . Our meeting with Mr Hatfield the oncologist who explain every detail of what was going to happen if she agreed to go ahead with the Gamma Knife procedure sounds a little scary but a knife is no where to be seen .
We arrived at 8 am the following week to be greeted by a lovely friendly face ..... DONNA not only was she one of the most calming nurses I have yet to meet , I felt I was her best friend when I left . Simon .... Another 5 * member of the team started the whole procedure , the making of the mask and preparing for the radiation treatment again one of the most caring and kind Person we felt safe with , The next day we arrived just before 9 for the first day of treatment to be greeted by the two girls with the biggest smiles anyone could wish for to make us feel at ease , Beth and Cathrine girls you are an amazing team . On to day 2 two more assuring young ladies came to greet us Sarah , and I am sorry I can't remember the other young ladies name she was going to observe , Our last day today �Sarah and Beth were our team for today again we felt we had known them for ages ...Such a credit to whole experience . I must not forget Joan the very proud cleaner on the unit who I must keeps it to a very high standard of cleanliness also Rauriui ..... Please some tell me I have spelt it correctly .....So Mr Hatfield you have team to be very proud of . We know not always is there a positive outcome . But nothing can take it way ,we had a dam good try . .........
So anyone in the future that is unfortunate to have to attend this unit , all I can say you will be given the first and foremost possible chance no matter what age .... Thank You x
Having moved to Chancellors Wing on the 7th November & my appointment being the 9th, i have to say the transition seems to have gone smoothly.
A lovely warm, welcoming waiting area in the colposcopy unit with plenty info on hand if you have any questions. Equally warm, were the staff, each and every one of them. I felt really cared for, my Dr & nurse couldn't have been any nicer (& funnier �) throughout all of my treatment since April 2015, i have been very well cared for.
The toilet area outside the main Gynae reception area needs more attention i'm afraid. No toilet roll, there was water (or something to that effect) all over the floor with wet tissue on it, really messy.
Had my chemotherapy there and operations great staff great hospital a great thank you
Had excellent on going care since my operation in December 2016. Staff are wonderful ,cannot praise them enough
