Review titled Amazing staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anthea Anka - Posted on 13 September 2023
My son had a surgery yesterday at University College London Hospital T 12 south - the staff were absolutely incredible (every last one of them, from the surgeons to the nurses to the orderlies). My son and I were both in awe at their energy levels (utterly tireless!) and how helpful/friendly everyone was. They made what could've been a very tough experience that much easier. Our thanks goes out to everyone.

Review titled Great Hospital, one teensy thing though.....
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Ged - Posted on 25 August 2023
I have used this hospital's services for decades and even in the hard 80's it had dedicated staff who went above and beyond. It has improved 1000 fold since then and this despite the kicking the NHS is getting from inept and self-serving politicians. Had occasion to go there yesterday and just wanted to leave a comment that I hope staff will pick up on. It's more feedback than a complaint: I had a 2 hour wait ( which is actually great for a Central London Hospital) and while waiting to be called in to the treatment area ( Triage was done almost immediately ) i was a little put out that staff were coming out with masks on when shouting out peoples names. I am deaf and have to rely on lipreading to see if it is me that is being called and it is impossible to do so through a mask. Even the staff not wearing masks came out said a name very quickly without repeating it so I couldn't check to see if it was my name if I had missed the start of their call. The staff here are excellent and would recommend this place in a heartbeat. I just wanted to bring this to your attention as other deaf / hard of hearing people will use this hospital and it would help immensely if staff could keep this in the back of their minds. Thanks for all the care throughout the years. I'm lucky to have you as my local hospital Sincerly

Review titled Impossible to contact
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Nick Ingram - Posted on 07 June 2023
I was referred with a heart problem in late March, had an echo early April but as of early June neither my GP nor I were given results. Meanwhile, despite my worsening condition, I was given an ‘urgent’ appointment with the cardio team in mid-October. An email to the department has been ignored and all attempts at phone contact result in being cut off or put through to a message system that won’t let you leave a message because the mailbox is constantly full.

Review titled Brilliant treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Richard Silver - Posted on 07 March 2023
My wife and I were admitted at 6pm last Thursday after falling down an escalator at Kings Cross Although it was incredibly busy we were thoroughly checked and treated My wife had a broken arm ,I had a broken finger and facial cuts that required stitching.All the staff we saw were caring and professional and we are so grateful to them all .We were appalled by the abuse they were receiving from a. small minority of people awaiting treatment and can only apologize on behalf of normal people who do appreciate the pressure they are under .Thanks also to the paramedics who brought us here .

Review titled So happy with the speed of care & expertise
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by NANCY STANNARD - Posted on 05 March 2023
My 26 year old daughter was referred to A&E after calling 111 She was seen immediately, literally within 2 minutes of arriving and a bed was found within 2 hours. She was seen by a doctor & monitored by the doctor and 3 nurses whilst waiting. They were kind, reassuring, caring and capable. She had surgery the next day and the doctor even called her at home after discharge to check on her, give her test results and further reassure her. Exemplary! The A&E department at 11pm on the Sunday night was busy but calm and seems everyone was seen reasonably quickly. I cannot praise our NHS enough

Review titled Friendly, attentive, thorough
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Ben, Islington - Posted on 02 January 2023
My 86 year old mum is down from Leicester and staying with us. She has been unwell since 22 December and did not seem to be getting better. At the advice of the 111 clinician, took her to the walk in emergency clinic. We were there several hours, but the team was very thorough in investigating what the problem(s) might be. The whole team was friendly and attentive as well. And the clinician on duty was amazing. She kept checking in, asking questions and all with good humour, which out us both at our ease. I have no doubt she had a lot of other patients to deal with at the same time. I know the NHS is under strain, and applaud all the amazing people who are working so hard to deliver services, every day of the year. You really came through for us on this occasion and we are enormously appreciative. Thank you.

Review titled Excellent service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Peter Riach - Posted on 06 January 2023
As usual excellent treatment by very caring staff on the 1st floor from 25 December for 2 days and then 2 more days on the 8th floor of UCH main building. My only request, please don’t wake people at midnight to take blood pressure. Wishing all the staff a Happy New Year!

Review titled great medical team at uchl, a&e - utc
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 October 2022
First of all, the waiting time was reasonable which is very important for an A&E patient. I've been welcomed be a very good male nurse who sent me for an X-ray. The Radiology staff was amazing. Quick, accommodating and very kind. Then, after a short while, a lady nurse or doctor took me over and discussed with me on the result of the X-ray for my foot. I was in pain and could not walk properly, and I was explained what is the meaning of the X-ray, and assured that my GP will receive a request to refer me back to be seen by a specialist. I cannot praise them enough. The three members of the medical staff did their job incredibly well, and therefore they'll get a clean 5* Review from me. Thank you!!

Review titled Fantastic and efficient service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Emmanuel - Posted on 27 October 2022
I hobbled to the hospital A/E with severe abdominal and back pain, the dept. appeared quite busy but v. efficient, there was a plethora of people with various perceived ailments , the wait time for reception, triage and to see a Doctor wasn't long at all. All the staff were very pleasant and patient. The v well mannered young doctor did a very thorough assessment before sending me on my merry way (co-dydramol has that effect). Highly impressed. Thanks Doc, your a star!
