Review titled Brilliant A&E department!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Elaine Funk - Posted on 10 July 2024
On the 9th of July 2024 I went to The North Middlesex A&E after looking up the waiting times on the NHS website for other casualty depts' (this hospital is nearest to my home but I'd never been there before). I arrived at 10.45am and signed in at reception then asked to go to the waiting room, 5 minutes later the nurses in room 6 called my name and after assessing my injury a specialist surgeon was brought to the room and I was sent to the x-ray department to make sure no bones were fractured or broken. 20 minutes later I was back in room 6 looking at the x-ray results which showed no breaks etc but I do have a large haematoma (I slipped over whilst in Turkey 2 weeks ago hitting my thigh on a marble corner of the swimming pool but I couldn't be bothered to see the doctor despite having medical insurance). The nurse said I needed to rest, apply ice packs and to keep my leg elevated for a couple of days (I'd done none of those things previous to attending A&E) to see if the lump diminishes and to make an appointment at reception for a few days time to review my injury and discuss further treatment if it is necessary, so I've got an appointment this Friday. I cannot praise all the staff at this hospital enough. I was in and out in just over an hour and was 100% satisfied with every department, my diagnosis and treatment. Every member of staff was friendly, polite, helpful and happy (wish I could name the 2 nurses in room 6 who were really happy and totally fabulous). I used to have private healthcare (came with my job) and my experience at The North Middlesex hospital A&E was better than "going private" I cannot believe how quickly I was seen and sorted out. A massive "Thank You" to everyone at this hospital and to our NHS. Amazing!

Review titled Amazing Friendly Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rachel - Posted on 02 May 2024
Josie from Clinic 6 is such a friendly and helpful lady. She went above and beyond to help me with looking into my dad's upcoming surgery even though it was not part of her clinic etc. And with her help the ball is now rolling and my dad will be having his surgery soon. All done with a smile too. Thank you Josie.

Review titled Great service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Poulina Jernuss - Posted on 26 May 2024
The nurses, surgeons and the anesthetist of the Operation theatre and recovery room were exceptional. Since the time I got admitted, the staffs were very comforting, dealt with all my queries and overall made me feel easy with my C section. I had a very positive experience with the staffs. Thankful and grateful for all the staffs, you all made me feel safe and in good hands.

Review titled Absolutely wonderful
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Monika - Posted on 14 May 2024
A huge thank you to both the doctor and his nursing assistant, he took time answering all my questions, explained the procedure and perhaps further procedure depending on lab results from the biopsy. Put me totally at ease whilst performing the surgery, extremely grateful that it was at North Mid and with a plastic surgeon rather than just a dermatologist and at the Alma medical centre, that cancelled my appointment twice! Thank you again to both of you.

Review titled Great Care
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Stan - Posted on 23 May 2024
My father was admitted to North Mid last night after a fall. He was back in his care home by 10.30am this morning. He had x-rays to his hip and head, blood taken and other tests and examinations. Fortunately he hadn’t hurt himself. What a fantastic service, thank you so much!

Review titled Information zero
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 April 2024
My husband is in now in the surgical ward. He is 80 he fell from a step ladder and fractured his skull. I have no complaints with the treatment or the staff. My complaint is this. We are not told anything. He was initially in for 2 days observation then told going home Monday then going home Tuesday or Wednesday. They've now stopped mentioning when he is going home. He's had scans of his head, they've never told us the results. Why he is still there we don't know. Other than a pneumonia jab since he's been on the ward I don't believe he's had any medication. If you as the staff what is happening with his care plan they know nothing and say you have to ask the doctor. My husband is 80 and hard of hearing and the staff have accents which are hard for me to understand and practically impossible for him with his hearing loss. In fact he was given offered pain killers when he wasn't in pain because he misheard. Before the accident he was a fit 80 year old whose always out walking. Now he spent over a week in bed other than going to the toilet. My fear is by the time he gets home he won't be able to walk. They used to take people like him for a little walk along the ward for a bit of exercise. I tried to encourage him today to come with me but he didn't want to chance it. Had one of the nurses told him to go with them he would have done it. I myself had a heart attack in January I was treated at Whipps Cross and Barts. I was told exactly what to expect and what drugs I was taking for what reason kept up to date at all times.

Review titled Poor hygiene standards
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 May 2024
I took my wife into A&E due to her debilitating health condition. As she also had Covid, she was asked to wait in a designated holding room . On entry to the room, there were food wrappings, empty used bottles, a used face mask, a discarded Covid test, cigarette butts and other detritus on both the chairs and the floor. The floor had clearly not been cleaned for some time as it had dirt and marks on it in a number of places. As health is surely the priority in hospitals, this was way below the standard expected. I put in a complaint and yet, more than a month later, have received no explanation or apology. We have both worked in the NHS and understand the restrictions faced due to chronic underfunding. However, this is not an excuse for such poor maintenance and putting patients at an increased risk rather than being somewhere to help them get better. I hope you will consider your current cleaning arrangements and remember to put the patient first. This is not a criticism of the treatment she received, which was excellent.

Review titled Outstanding Dermatology Duo
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Philippa - Posted on 26 March 2024
I received outstanding care, professionalism and kindness today. It was a simple procedure but nonetheless I was apprehensive of what was going to happen. I was clearly talked through the possible outcomes. Thank you dynamic dermatology duo! 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
