And there are at least some buses from Ecclesall Rd. (but not the old no.50- shame!) Not far? Its 1/4 mile maybe more Disabled people struggle as its uphill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a very odd thing to say. Most hospitals in Sheffield/England/World do not have A&E facilities, The RHH does have a Minor Injuries Unit and a Walk-In Centre and a under 18s A&E nearby. The facilities and expertise available in such a small area is brilliant compared with other big cities/regions There was a time when you had to buy the Star to find out if the A&E was at the NGH. RHH. Royal or Royal Infirmary or which Hospital to have your baby. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesey Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I’ve found the Hallamshire to be far more professional than the NGH, albeit very limited. If it was moved to Attercliffe and it’s usage expanded it would suit me even though I live in S17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uk citizens earn on average substantially less than than our American allies with the excuse that we get better health care? yet for example i'm still waiting to see a specialist doctor 4 months after being told a march appointment would be the earliest A&E is a minimum 2hours to be seen x-ray is still preferred over MRI Its pathetic, your hours here on earth are diminishing and the NHS puts cost before your wellbeing Should i complain once i'm dead? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield has both an Adult (NGH) and Paediatric (SCH) Major Trauma Centre, these hospitals have full Emergency Departments, NGH is also the PPCI Centre for South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw the RHH has a Urgent Treatment Centre which is well established with 30 minutes of Sheffield there are a number of hospitals with Emergency Departments who are accredited Trauma Units Sheffield and South Yorkshire is primarily covered by the Yorkshire Ambulance although there are mutla aid arrangmeents with DLR and LNAA and HMCG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
