Wrightington hospital was a big part of my life last year and no doubt will be for the rest of my life. They have been fantastic with me from day 1. My consultant Mr Rob Smith is truly amazing. He is a lovely gentleman and treats me with up most respect. After being passed from one hospital to another, the first appointment I had with him he knew instantly what the problem was and got me booked in for surgery 6 weeks later. Three operations on I'm now 7 weeks into my recovery. For my last operation I opted to have a spinal instead of being anaesthetised. Mr Smith, his theatre team and I had a good laugh whilst being prepared for surgery which made me feel comfortable and reassured during a stressful time. Ward D staff have been incredible and really caring on all of my admissions. They give exceptional patient care from the moment you arrive to when you leave. Three weeks after my surgery I thought I had an infection in my wound, after contacting my consultant’s secretary on a Friday morning, they got straight onto the ward by 11:30am and my consultant came to see me. Luckily everything was fine but my consultant booked me an appointment for a few days later to see him just to recheck the wound again after stopping my medication. I saw Mr Smith and one of his registrars last week for my 6 week post-op appointment. They were both very happy with my progress and results, which was the best news I had had in a long time. Mr Smith and myself then had a detailed discussion regarding my next steps to recovery. Again he was charming, respectful and had a great sense of humour. I could not ask for a better consultant and orthopaedic team.

My wife had a hip replacement 5 years ago and has been admitted for the other hip to be done. Professor Board is a fantastic surgeon and the nursing staff are brilliant. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they attend you immediately you need them. They are a lovely dedicated team of Angels. Sorry I can only rate 5 star as they deserve 10*

Amazing hospital amazing treatment i dont think i need to say anymore

Neat and organised. But quite a distance from the main transport link. Walked with my disabled son 1.6 miles from the train station to the hospital. Was quite shocked and disappointed.

One of the better hospitals that's run by the NHS
