Parking is the worst
October 28, 2025
Parking is the worst here. The van is too tall for the multi storey car park. They used to have the disabled parking but now anyone can park there.
No provisions for people in wheelchairs
Outpatients

No provisions for people in wheelchairs. They need to ask more questions about how to transfer from a wheelchair and using slings.
Didn't need an interpreter
Inpatients
October 28, 2025
We were given an interpreter even though we didn't need one. My mum was an inpatient due to arthritis. We added a note to say she didn't need an interpreter. They got paid for nothing. I didn't like the assumption she needed one.
Very poor

No empathy or compassion to patients, brain injured patient needed continued support with daily care, feeding and drinking, no support here whatsoever, shameful, ward 518, lack of communication and information concerning this patient, who is my brother.
Very good cancer treatment
Oncology
October 23, 2025
I received cancer treatment at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, having appointments with my consultant, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The treatment was great. During my radiotherapy I was able to stay on site to save the daily travel to and from the hospital, this was great but I think I was treated last every day because I was staying.
Long way to travel on public transport
Ophthalmology
October 23, 2025
I have had to attend eye clinic appointments at the QE hospital. They use drops in your eyes which means you cannot drive home following your appointment. I have to travel on two buses and the train to get there. This journey is not easy, especially following an eye appointment. I cannot afford taxi fares and help with travel expenses are means tested and I do not qualify.
A&E - Good & Thorough Care & Treatment
A&E
October 23, 2025
My wife had to carry me into the hospital I was so unwell. The care I received was very good, I had full bloods done, an ECG and x-rays. They made adjustments to my medication and within a few days I felt like a different man and much better.
Very efficient cardiac care
Cardiology/heart medicine
October 22, 2025
I was born with a heart defect and have been treated by the cardiology team at the QE for a number of years. I got for regular check ups with my consultant. The service is very efficient and I am happy with the care I receive.
Inexperienced staff & unclean hospital
A&E
October 22, 2025
My recent experience of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital was terrible. I spent time in A&E and SDEC before being admitted. The staff were inexperienced and there was a lack of communication from them. I was there for 5 days waiting for an endoscopy. After 5 days I was discharged to attend an outpatients appointment for an endoscopy in Chelmsley Wood. The whole process was a completely nightmare, I live 5 minutes from the QE and spent 5 days waiting for a procedure at a hospital to be discharged and sent to an outpatient appointment at a community clinic miles away. The QE was unclean and the toilets in areas were filthy I could not use them in SDEC they were so bad. I feel very let down by the QE.
Patient and reassuring
Cancer services
October 21, 2025
I had a blood test and I'm under rheumatology, and also had cancer last year. I had chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The nurses and doctors were very helpful in explaining and providing information throughout my treatment. They were patient and reassuring given the circumstances and the service was excellent.
