Footscray Hospital

Thursday 8th December 9.30pm to 2.30 Janice the nurse in emergency was amazing. She was kind and caring and looked after my son who was having heart problems. Thank you so much Janice! The doctor was also lovely A kind Irish man Very helpful, answering all of our questions.

my partner was taken into the ER on tuesday afternoon and spend all night and all morning wednesday there, the nurses were amazingly dutiful and took great care of both him and me. our nurse sarah went above and beyond for us and did her best to make us comfortable and keep him in the best condition possible at the time. i'm super thankful for all the nurses.

This is the only hospital that I've been to that does not have any information pamphlets for whatever you are being treated for. (Not one single pamphlet in any of the departments.) Also, nurses and doctors each have different opinions on your care needs (plan). Each one gives different information regarding your treatment care plan. Patients end up so confused about what they are being treated for, as well as their care plan for when they go home. Some nurses are very rude and don't listen to the patient. Although there are some very lovely staff.

Long waits for surgeries and wait times can take over an hour for a booked appointment. A Dr or two aren’t helpful but staff do their best with the pressure and demand they are under. I have been going to this hospital since birth. They are doing more renovations so it should more upgraded within the next few years. Apart from that staff and nurses are great. Cafes and plenty of food and coffee to grab whilst you wait.

Definitely the waiting hours are just no for human beings, it took me 12 hours to get attended by a doctor after the triage. Once you get see by doctor everything gets better, they gave me a bed and the exams i needed. But think it twice before coming, you must wait for several hours. You better go to other place if you are suffering serious pain because it doesn't matter how much pain you're in, they will no give you priority.

I would like to thank the wonderful staff at the Footscray Hospital when I came to the emergency department on the 15th of August. I came in quite distressed with severe chest pains and they were just wonderful. From the lady who checked me in, the nurses and doctors were so comforting and supportive. I cannot thank them enough. As it turns out there was nothing seriously wrong with me. So a big THANK YOU to all. 🙏😊

This is my first time coming to the hospital. Comparing to royal, northern, sunshine hospital this is the first time I have been taken in so fast.
It was so quick that I didn’t had to wait at all. Probably because it is a Monday morning that it’s not crowded at all.

Staff are excellent, friendly and kind. Just waiting for treatment. Hopefully everything goes well.
