Terrible customer service
December 18, 2018
I had a nasal surgery and when moved into the recovery room nobody looked after me. I pressed the button which they gave me in case I need anything and they came after 10-15mins after I pressed the button.
When I came out of theatre, I asked the nurse about how the surgery went and if I look ok. She said she doesn’t know as she has not seen me before. She did not even tell me a word to calm me down. Terrible customer service.

Appointments not being sent
December 18, 2018
I had an appointment in hospital in January 2017 to scan my shoulder and a neurologist told me that my nerves have been damaged.
They told me that they are going to book me another appointment to see the therapist. They said that they will send me an appointment, but I still haven’t heard anything from them, nearly two years later.
I would like to know what happened.

The response from Queen Elizabeth Hospital email service is poor I am supposed to have had a reply back from them within 2 days of sending it. I haven't had a reply back from them - this is over 2 weeks now.
I have sent them another email to a different email address. Hopefully I will get a reply back from them within 2 days about rearranging hospital appointment to another day.

Long Waiting Times
Cancer services

I had a 6 rounds of chemo at QE recently. The staff are working very hard, but they are just too busy. The minimum waiting time was 1 ½ hours, and maximum 3.5 hours. Normally the appointments are on lunchtime but there is never any food or drink.
Smokers outside the main entrance of the Q.E

My complaints is about all the smokers outside the main entrance of the Q.E hospital, they just stub their cigarette ends only on the pavement. Why can’t security move them to the red smoking shelter.
Lack of opticians at QE Hospital

Lack of opticians at QE, I think 6 vacant vacancies are still not filled. Went to QE for glaucoma treatment, doctors are best but referred to heartlands hospital because of lack of opticians.
Better signposting needed for shuttle service
Whole Hospital
November 14, 2018
At QE hospital shuttle bus route is not sign posted properly. They need a proper shuttle bus route map with timetable explaining frequency and site map of shuttle stops around hospital. It’s a very big hospital and people need help in going to different treatment facilities from main bus stop and train station.
Absolutely superb. Nurses/doctors excellent.
Accident and emergency services
October 22, 2018
Great experience. Didn’t wait too long. Nurses/doctors very empathetic, caring, friendly, attentive. Did a great job in sorting my issue. Hope I don’t have to go back again but would be very confident if I do and would highly recommend.
The bereavement support could have been better
October 8, 2018
I was eight months pregnant when my husband passed away. The bereavement support could have been better. I went into labour the same day. There was no communication between the two departments which meant I kept being asked about my husband who had just passed away. I was left alone most of the time and in the condition I was in, I could have done anything to myself.
After my husband died, they gave me a booklet, maybe there were issues in there about bereavement but I was in labour and in no condition to read the material.
Since then I have not had support, no counselling for a year until my daughter was admitted with the same condition as my husband. They have only provided me with a psychologist after my daughter’s diagnosis.
The NHS has failed a lot of people. I understand that they have a job to do but they are human as everybody else.
