  • I cannot thank North Downes Hospital enough, as an NHS patient it was a dream. Arrival at 0700, walking to theatre by 0830. Everyone was so kind and accommodating considering this was my first ever surgery and having general anaesthetic. The staff were so kind and even provided food and drink after with my own private room. I will 100% recommend to anyone who needs surgery. Thank you again.
