County Hospital

Story

County Hospital is an acute hospital with less than 200 inpatient beds, opened in 1983. It is the main hospital in Stafford, England.The hospital is now operated and managed by University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust and provides a wide range of medical and surgical services. County Hospital's Accident and Emergency unit is the only such facility in Stafford. Wards at County Hospital are numbered, with the exception of specialist unitsThe Hospital changed its name on 1 November 2014 from Stafford Hospital to County Hospital as part of the dissolution of the Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust.HistoryThis hospital was built on the site of Coton Hill private psychiatric hospital which opened in 1854 and was demolished in 1976 with only the old chapel and gatehouse still visible. These buildings now form part of the Mid Staffordshire Postgraduate Medical Centre.When the County hospital site opened in 1983 it was named Stafford District General Hospital. The hospital was renamed Staffordshire General Hospital when Staffordshire General Infirmary, also in Stafford, closed in the early 1990s and services transferred.It was widely described as a "showpiece" hospital on its opening. However, in early 1985 it was the site of the serious 2nd major outbreak of Legionnaires' disease.In October 2011 a Care Quality Commission inspection found a lack of suitably trained nursing staff on duty in the accident and emergency department. In consequence the department was closed at night for three months to remedy this, and to allow time for staff development.

I had to take my sister due to an accident at home. The service and treatment she received was exceptional. The only complaint,was the wait at x-ray and slight lack of communication. Although the receptionist, Pauline/Paula? Was fantastic and a credit to the department. The hospital was very busy. Also the parts hospital that we saw was very clean and in good repair. Thanks folks
Lovely staff and fantastic service. I've recently visited for 2 different appointments and the staff couldn't do enough and treated me with kindness and dignity. My mother recently had an appointment too in the cardiology department and she also commented on how lovely all the staff were with her
I was seen in A&E by Dr Sundralingham. He was a very helpful and caring professional. My nurse Tracy was also very caring who looked after me. My experience has always been excellent in A&E when I have taken neighbours, family members and now myself. Very caring friendly staff.
staff lovely, except for one doctor who was extremely rude when I asked if he could find out how much longer I would be waiting. The doctor that treated me was very kind but didn't really seem to know what had caused my extremely painful knee problem. Had to ask for some strong painkillers. He also expected me to just walk out without any aids, despite still being in pain and no proper diagnosis
First impressions after booking a slot via 111 online.... not impressed, had to go through the whole booking procedure again. Another bit of worthless money spending by the goverment and the NHS. On a quick inspection of waiting area noticed that Vending machines are Out of Order. For crying out load this 2022 not 1982.. get a grip.. NHS... stop squandering good honest money from working class folk... I believe I could pay a top wak ins premium and it would still be cheaper than what the UK Goverment charges me every month. And we would be treated more quickly and effectively... but I believe that the best healthcare should be accessible for all...
I was taken to county hospital A&E on Friday 13th January 2023 with stomach/abdominal pains ,and I was treated with utmost care and dignity. All staff were amazing especially Staff Nurse Alicia Fligg and Doctor Yang MA they are a credit to the hospital
Think the staff here think the patients are a burden. Triage nurse, didn't say hello, didnt introduce herself, didn't make eye contact. Got up to put an oxygen monitor and blood pressure monitor on -didnt say what she was doing or ask for my hand. Dr walked off after calling my name, didn't introduce himself or even say hello.
We could not fault Stafford A and E yesterday they treated me with total dignity and respect all day whilst being assessed and treated. I love the NHS. Staff nurse Tim was brilliant the the medic.
With the exception of the triage system which is disappointing - was advised by 111 I couldn't wait but the receptionist knew better and I waited 2 hours before I saw a nurse!!!! Sorry to sound negative but they were typical ' I know better ' receptionists. Dangerous !!!!!! After that hiccup I was taken straight in and the staff were first class. Their caring and compassion at such a scary time was outstanding. Jo the litte Portuguese nurse was absolutely amazing. Knowledgeable and extremely kind and compassionate. I spent 7 hours in there and everyone from the nurses , HCA's, doctors, porters and radiology staff were lovely. As a nurse myself, I was suitably impressed. Just the initial triage which was sadly lacking, otherwise superb x
The staff here were amazing with my son last night, right from the lady on reception who sorted us change to park to the staff member that was just going off shift but stayed to help my son get signed in and dealt with right away, the consultant who was fab and the guy who made us a cuppa i think he knew i needed one to the nurse who had to put up with my son on gas and air . Thankyou so much
