I can highly recommend this hospital. It is very organised, the staff are both helpful and friendly and go out of their way to provide the best possible experience. The medical staff are highly professional and go the extra mile. The my Chart app allows patients to keep track of their entire history, prescriptions, blood tests, appointments, letters etc. This is the way a hospital should be run.

My experience with Addenbrooke's hospital was very mixed but this is the main hospital I go to with regards to my cochlear implant, the operation itself was fine but I had to fight with the nurse to not allow students to be present during my operation because my operation was very high risk due to my condition. I was then given medication that turned out I was alergic to and I was left to deal with it on my own. I do have to say though their audiology department is wonderful and are great with dealing with my enquiries and helping me on my cochlear implant journey.

Just returned from an appointment in the Endocrinology department, clinic 32. They were brilliant. I’ve been to many appointments in several different hospitals over the years with my disabled daughter. This appointment and testing stands out as being one of the easiest appointments we’ve had. They were efficient, competent, accommodating, listened, nothing fazed them, totally disabled friendly.

I had day surgery for my grommets insertion in both ears. Although a long wait I didn't mind because I desperately wanted to get it sorted. Everyone I met was welcoming kind and took great care of me. In particular, Anita who wheeled me to surgery, all the team in theatre who did the op, Claire who looked after me when I can round and Elizabeth on L2 who had a brilliant sense of humour. Please make sure you they see this. Thank you to all of you.

It's a hospital so usually one would rather not be there unless needed urgently. This is a massive campus consisting of Addenbrooks and Papworth Hospitals. Both world famous in their own rights for pioneering many medical procedures, especially along the lines of organ transplants. Unless you're in an emergency I would recommend parking at a park and ride location (most seem to be free to park) and taking the regular shuttle buses onto the hospital campus. Parking is extremely expensive if using the on site car parks although if you are a patient you can get huge discounts if you get a letter from the department you're visiting. It's no good taking your referral letter, it must be from the department on that day.
