Review titled Smoking
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mike Harding - Posted on 18 June 2024
Although there are plenty of ( no smoking) signs within the grounds and signs on the outside of A&E and all departments No one takes any notice even two security guards were standing next to two smokers

Review titled Great ward
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 14 May 2024
Admitted to Farnborough Ward 10th May they looked after me very well, caring professional and all staff including domestic staff were friendly. One hostess offered to get me food from the canteen because she knew I was off my food. Please pass on my thanks.

Review titled From Urgent Care to Surgery =Superstars
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by David Hollingbery - Posted on 14 April 2024
After missing the last 4 stair steps, and forcing 85kg + gravity on an ankle folded under my falling body, I attended the Urgent Care Centre at the Princess Royal. An hour later X-Rays confirmed 3 fractures and ligament damage. Triage through the Clinical Diagnostic Unit ended in a bed in Surgical 4 Ward and anticipated surgery the next day. My grateful thanks to the nurses and staff of both wards, and the Urgent Care Centre. And special thanks to the amazing surgical team who spent 2 hours the morning after repairing all the damage. My accident demonstrates the significant number of personnel needed to assist a patient. Apart from the staff mentioned, I’ve needed the radiology technicians, physios, surgical recovery, the pharmacy, porters and those providing food and drinks. I’ve done myself some injury over the years, including a motorcycle crash broken leg and a personal best deadlift hernia. I hate hospitals because of their association with pain, enforced confinement and rehabilitation. But I am always in awe at the skill and compassion of the staff that work within them. Thank you.

Review titled Flawless service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

After 5 years of no smear test I had one in 2024 and unfortunately it came back that pre-cancerous cells were present from my smear to surgery it was all done very swiftly and in particular the care at the Pruh Orpington was amazing it was my first time there and the hospital as a whole was outstanding very clean and neat and staff were so kind and reassuring I was extremely anxious about this experience even having general anesthesia I was nervous but I was met with support from the nurses to surgeon all staff throughout my visit were so respectful and caring I am so grateful to them all. Thank you

On 23rd April 2024 I attended the DSU for a procedure. The whole experience was really amazing, the care and consideration that I was given was second to none. The nurses who looked after me were fantastic, I cannot thank them enough.

Review titled Terrible comms, wasted my time
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Matt - Posted on 12 April 2024
I was brought in with chest pains. The tests proved negative but they wanted me to do a stress test to make sure. I was booked an appt and received a letter telling me what to do. It listed medications not to take, but my meds weren’t listed. As I’d been taking them, they couldn’t do the test and the was rebooked for 10 days later. I told them at the time I had a hamstring tear but this was ignored. A week before the test, the called to check I would be able to do the test with my injury. I went to voicemail and as requested I left my details to be called back. It took over a week and more calls before I spoke to someone. I explained my issue and was told that I should still come in. I’ve just been in and was told that I would have to run. I said I couldn’t so my test was cancelled. I now have a six week wait for an alternative test to make sure there are no problems with my heart. This is not my local hospital and it takes a fair bit of time to get here. I’m also taking time off work to come to appointments that are pointless. While the initial treatment was good, I’m very unhappy about the way my follow up appts have been dealt with.

Review titled Calm, clean and efficient
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 30 March 2024
Arrived in pain and distress at 8pm with neuralgia pain, temperature, and bacterial infection in sinuses. Trialed fast, given pain relief and then had bloodtests, and after results was seen by cheerful doctor and prescribed effective treatment with other nastier possibilities considered and ruled out by tests. All staff courteous, sympathetic and very professional, and deserve my heartfelt thanks.

Review titled awful
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 March 2024
awful experience at this hospital, for the second time in 1year. our first experience was in June last year, when our child broke his arm, they should have put a half plaster to my 6 years old child, they put a full one, no one really checked make sure all was ok, had to come back 2 times to get the half plaster that was mentioned on the hospital records. our second experience was when we were sent through 111, with a kid with fever, waited for 5 hours, they kept telling us other cases were more urgent. when we asked how it is normal to be pushed down the line countiously they acted as if that was absolutely normal- I stil don’t understand how injuries like a broken arm on an adult would take precedence to a 7 year old with fever- looks like it is absolutely normal at this hospital. just avoid if you can, i am certainly not going there again( maybe this is the hospital’s policy, to offer as little as possible in order to send patients away… it definitely felt that way)

Thank you stroke unit for all your compassion and speedily help.thank for the first contact in reception.the man saw I was in de-stress and got triage to see me . Consultant from stroke unit was brilliant and told me to not worry as he was going to look after me.which his team did. Every one from the front reception onwards went out of there way to help. They all are a credit to Kings. I am glad that I live within the Pruh area. Thank you all
