Flinders Medical Centre

Public hospitals often get a bad rap, but my experience of the ED yesterday made me very thankful for Australia's public health system. Sure, I was there from 10am till about 5:30 but in that time I had exemplary care: an x-ray, pain relief, a MRI and a diagnosis of three broken ribs. All delivered with care and in an expected timeframe. The only downside was the opening hours of the pharmacy which meant I had to track one down on the way home.Thank you kind nursing and admin staff and the treating doctor.

Very impressed with fast treatment in Emergency when Triage saw low heart rate. Into Resuscitation and then Cardiac Unit. The pureed dinner I needed was fantastic.I had a pacemaker fitted next day then transferred to FPH. Thanks go to all the staff for professional and friendly service at a difficult time.

Went to a & e with stomach pain operated on asap just got back in room bit sore but I have to say the staff were great the nurses amazing friendly helpful caring can’t speak highly enoughThe surgical team fantastic so well organised.From the bottom of my heart thanks we really don’t don’t realise how good we’ve got it with you all and hopefully more funding gets to these departments

My 2-year old grandson spent seven hours in paediatric ED due to severe dehydration. His care was first-class and the staff providing his care were superb. Special thanks to Tia (area coordinator), Dr John, and to RN Hayley. South Australia is indeed very fortunate to have a world class facility staffed by a wonderful group of professionals. Thank you!

Phoned up to get some advise about transferring my very unwell father from a country hospital to what I thought would be a better option. Clearly not, the advise I was given was delivered pathetically. This guy definitely not wanting to speak with anyone on the ph. I've stayed in the private hospital and the treatmant was fantastic. The Public system is very clearly rubbish.Very disappointing and honestly shocked this is how you treat people Flinders!

I attended Flinders Medical Centre A&E, on the recent public holiday, with a suspected broken bone in my hand. At every step of the process the staff were efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. I was in and out after an X-ray in a very short time. Thank you to the staff at Flinders for working public holidays and making my experience a great one.

I had a medical appointment at Flinders Medical Centre today. I've never been there before, so I was a bit lost, but one of the friendly volunteers showed me exactly where to go. I was anticipating waiting for a couple of hours for my appointment, as it is a public hospital but upon arrival I was surprised to find out that no one was in the waiting room, and I only waited for about 5 minutes! Both the reception staff and the doctor were very friendly. Lovely and clean facility.My only issue is that I couldn't make another appointment on the spot (as one of the scheduled tests couldn't be done due to me having taken a certain medication.) - That has be done via the referring doctor. Which means a new referral and possibly waiting another 3 months for the new appointment.But apart from that, I'm very satisfied with today's experience. Nothing like I've experienced at the RAH before!

I was transferred from Southern Fleurieu Hospital to Flinders Medical Centre. My husband offered to drive me to save waiting for an ambulance. I arrived in ED at 4:25pm and was left sitting in the waiting room for nearly 7 hours. I asked the male triage nurse twice if he could advise how much longer which he made no effort to make a phone call to find out. In the end my husband came in and requested this to be followed up. I was transferred to Flinders Private as a public patient. When i arrived there, the surgical team apologised for my long wait due to them not being advised by the ED staff i was there. I received lovely care in Flinders Private however am left disappointed by the lack of empathy or follow up by Flinders Medical ED staff. My husband was told by one staff member that it’s been like that for the last 20 plus years-I can understand this when the staff in ED show no initiative or follow up.

To Womens clinic, Birth and delivery & Postnatal ward 4C!As a first-time mum, the staff provided so much support, education and plenty of face-to-face open time for conversations. I loved the continuity of care towards baby, and also towards how mom’s recovery. I felt really safe, empowered and supported to transition into motherhood. The postnatal care also extended to my partner being a first time Dad. They provided plenty assistance with various topics, such as babies growth, health and breastfeeding, which can be trying at the start. The staff are very positive and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you, postnatal ward 4C for this incredible experience shout out to those who looked after Bronson!! Thankyou midwives ❤️

The doctors and nurses are great, but the customer service attending to phonecalls are atrocious. Lost my pair of glasses this morning after the food tray was collected. Told the nurses about it the moment I realised, and they helped search the room, my bags, and everywhere else possible within the ward. They then checked the food trays, and realised that the rack containing my tray was already taken back to the kitchen.Nurses contacted the kitchen department, and nothing was heard from them even after close to 6 hours. I then called the kitchen department's phone number, giving them my ward and bed number and asked them if they could check with the staff that collected the tray. Was refused outright, and told that there was nothing they could do unless it was returned.
