Review titled Diabolical
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 March 2024
Very disappointed with how the staff at Queen Elizabeth have dealt with my case. Came to a&e on the 14th, I was there for almost 8 hours. I was told I had a mild infection and was not given any medication. I was told to phone if the symptoms are the same within the next 2 days. Today I checked my temperature and it was 39.1° so I called 111 and was told an out of hours gp will call me, I received this call 7 hours later only for the Dr to ask what was wrong as she could not see my record from the 14th and can’t see anything under my records. This is very negligent and I will be making a compliant claim.

I am sorry to hear that you were not happy with your care during your recent visit and the delays you encountered. The emergency department has been under high pressure resulting in longer than usual waiting times to see a doctor which we are working hard to combat. All records and assessments are recorded and stored electronically on our system and information may not be readily available to all out of hours medical services as electronic systems may vary, I apologise if this was not explained sufficiently at the time. I wish you well in your recovery and apologise for any distress caused. If you would like us to investigate further. Please contact our patient advice liaison service (PALS). They can be reached on pals.qeht@nhs.net Kind regards, Amanda yates ED Matron

Review titled Exemplary care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Gail M - Posted on 10 March 2024
Professional care delivered with compassion on recent and unexpected stay in the hospital. From Accident & Emergency, the short stay unit and all the staff on ward 5b, each and every one of them were amazing. Not all angels have wings ❤️

I attended the endoscopy department for a colonoscopy and found the kindness and warmth of the staff amazing. They were all so good and concerned and endeavoured to make the experience as stress free as possible. I am so very grateful to them all. Thank you.

Waited a long time to see a Doctor but was very impressed and reassured by what was said. Wanted to express my thanks. The other staff throughout the long wait were very helpful too. This was on Friday 8 March - saw Doctor at 8pm.

Review titled Very good experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Nicola - Posted on 01 March 2024
Nobody likes having to go to A&E but I have to say the care that I have received there today was nothing short of exceptional. In a very busy environment I was seen by triage, sent for bloods and a scan then results with a doctor. They were so reassuring and thorough I just cannot fault them. There were even staff coming around offering sandwiches and hot drinks for patients. The QE has an awful reputation and people only usually write a review if they have something negative to say! I want to say thankyou to everyone involved in my care today you are doing an amazing job.

Review titled Really poor experience
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 February 2024
Seen 45 mins past appointment time, couldn't get seat in waiting room due to the number of men there. Scan afterwards completed by trainee, scan pics completely useless. Told to go to mat assessment for scan review as no docs left at first department. Asked 3 different times why I was there and told they didn't know why I was there. Eventually I took my notes back round to first department who told me just to go. Scan should have been reviewed properly due to low papp a count. Would love to be able to change hospital at this point as I don't have any faith in this place, the way the departments talk about each other tells me alot, one department claims the other department doesn't know what they're talking about, unprofessional. Constantly rushed through appointments. Can never get through on the phone. Submitted referral to maternity physio and never heard anything, no help from any of the midwives and still haven't met my named midwife despite being within 6 weeks of edd. If i can change hospital before remaining appointments i absolutely will.

Review titled Nuclear medicine
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Angel lily Capocci - Posted on 09 January 2024
There is no option for Nuclear Medicine imaging dept ! But my experience was excellent was met by two lovely imaging guys that put me at ease gave me a tracer injection that was pain free, both chaps were friendly and we had a great conversation, the dept is clean and the ceiling in the imaging room is fantastic ! And no lengthy wait time was seen straight away ...I would recommend this dept and get a 10 out of 10 from my ...excellent all round

Thank you for the comments about the Nuclear Medicine Team. Our nuclear medicine technicians work hard to provide patients with a positive experience, and we appreciate it when patient take the time to acknowledge the dedication and effort that our staff make to provide a high standard of service. Greet feedback on the “skylight” ceiling in the scanning room, a new feature that was added as part of the complete redevelopment of the department with new state of the art SPECT-CT scanner which opened in October 2023.

Review titled Attention to detail
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Charles - Posted on 21 January 2024
I was unlucky in that I accidently spilt a jug of hot water on my right knee. Through a call to 111, I was sent through to Emergency care where they dressed my wound. This seemed to go well and I was seen again the next day. However there were some difficulties and I was put on anti-biotics. Before the date of the next dressing, I was unwell. After ringing my surgery I saw a nurse and a doctor there who felt the wound was looking rather angry.. and advised my returning to the hospital for an intravenous anti-biotic. I did this but had to go through A and E first which took some time to see the doctor (who unfortunately I am not able to name) because I felt he dealt with the situation very well. He was very determined to get the right advice and got in touch with the Burns Unit at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. He was able to put through a request for a referral which was quite complicated.. using a photograph of the wound on my daughter's phone. It was very busy in A and E and my daughter and I were very impressed by his professionalism. It was late when I had the anti-biotic drip but everything was set up for my appointment with The burns Unit at Chelsea and W Hospital later day. Many thanks to Queen Elizabeth Emergency Care staff for their help and care and especially to the A and E doctor. who on the night of Wednesday 10th January and early in the morning of Thursday 11th January sorted out my situation so well.
