Huddersfield Royal Infirmary

I have to see staff at Huddersfield as many surgeons do not do a clinic in Calderdale.

Had to go to Huddersfield due to the department I needed treatment at, but I live nearer to Calderdale & have to drive past it to get to Huddersfield. The staff are all good and the treatment is good.
Would be better if the service was closer to home.

I visited Calderdale Royal with a family member & the facilities are much better and the hospital a nicer environment.

My mum was admitted to the ward and stayed there for several days. It was a very depressing place to be and in desperate need of some repair and upkeep. She was placed in a tiny box room with no TV and the blinds on the small window would not open so she was left to stare at the 4 shabby walls which were depressing and just didn't feel like a nice environment to be in to recuperate.
I often heard other patients asking for help and they were told to wait. The staff were clearly always busy and I always witnessed them working very hard so I'm not saying they were ignoring patients but the ward was clearly understaffed.

I was referred by Plane Tree Surgery to the Breast Clinic at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary. I was able to choose a date and time that suited me and was seen within 2 weeks. Dr Joyce Graham was very thorough, reassuring me that I had made the right decision in accessing this service. I got lost a couple of times in the hospital and passing staff helped straight away, without been asked and asked if I was OK or if I needed any help - great friendly staff.
