The Beaumont Hospital Chorley New Road, Lostock, Bolton BL6 4LA

"I have in the past week been at the Beaumont for complex foot surgery under the care of Mr Ring. From the first appointment for a pre-assessment with a lovely Nurse who was very professional and made me feel very much at ease. She explained each step and the reasons for doing them. I was then admitted as a day case for the operation. Each and everyone of the staff I came across were all very professional and friendly from the greeting at reception, the gentleman that showed me to my room the nursing and auxiliary staff and the catering lady whose care I was under. Thank you to you all. I would very highly recommend the Beamont Hospital to anyone who should require Hospital care."

"I went to see the bone specialist yesterday after suffering from having wrist pain and pain in my thumb. I was living with this for almost a year. I was refferd to my own doctors for my treatment. But I was told he couldn't do small bones and he refferd me to another hospital. My day came after waiting for a few months. When I arrived at the hospital I was really worried about what would happen. I was seen by the doctor and he asked me to tell him about my wrist. After me explaining everything. He asked me if I would like to have this injection but he called it a medical word. I asked him what was that. I was really nervous. So I said yes please knowing that I was terrified. He asked a nurse to come in. During my treatment I was so terrified the nurse talked to me all through my injection. After it was over with I felt sick and dizzy. Both the doctor and nurse helped me to have a lay down. Everything went away after a few minutes. I was on my way back home just after 4. The doctor was really helpful and explained everything to me. All I have now is my wrist being sore where the needle was put in. I understand that it would take a few days for my injection to start to work. I would like to say thank you to the doctor and nurse who helped me through this yesterday."

"I first attended last December for severe wrist pain which I had a steroid injection for, but unfortunately the pain returned so I had to have a minor op. Despite being a nervous patient, the theatre staff were wonderful and put me at ease, and the treatment I received from Mr Wykes was the best. He was friendly and professional at all times and involved me in all aspects of my care and managed my expectations well. The op went smoothly and I have had follow-up physio sessions with the physio manager Dave who is so lovely and knowledgeable. My treatment has been successful and I am no longer in pain and almost back to full mobility so I have now been discharged. Such a wonderful service from start to finish and I would most definitely recommend the Beaumont Hospital."

"I have just returned from a general anaesthetic procedure at this hospital. The service I received was very good. The room was private and comfortable and the staff were very nice. One notable member of staff was the man that assisted the anaesthetist as they was putting me to sleep. As you can imagine, it’s quite an unpleasant time but the man was in constant conversation with me. He distracted me from what was going on but it was so genuine. He had a genuine interest in the questions he was asking and the conversation flowed perfectly. I almost forgot where I was! I wish I could remember his name to say thanks but the lights went out not long after our conversation. Overall I am very happy with the facilities and staff at The Beaumont Hospital. Thank you!"

"I recently attended The Beaumont for a consultation regarding my trigger finger. All the staff were very efficient and welcoming as I arrived; there was no waiting and I saw my consultant straight away. At the consultation, I was offered a variety of treatments and I opted for an injection which was performed there and then. The safety process with the consultant and nurse to ensure it was performed correctly was reassuring and made me feel calm. A thoroughly professional experience; thank you. Special mention and thanks to Mr Wykes for removing the pain in my finger and to Stacey who was kind when I was having the injection. Thanks all."
