Should have been prioritised - care not great

April 20, 2023
I waited 20 hours in the A&E department with a suspected blood clot whilst pregnant. They just sat me in a chair and only gave me paracetamol. There were loads of people in there. The care for me was not great. I should have been prioritised.

Very thorough

April 12, 2023
They've helped me a lot with all of my problems. I had surgery in the eye department. They were very thorough and explained to me exactly what was going on. I was referred to them on a 2 week referral as it was an emergency.

Scans to find out what's going on

April 12, 2023
I've been sent for scans as they think I have long covid. The GP referred me to the QE and that didn't seem to take too long. I have been suffering with headaches every day since having covid 18 months ago. They're not sure what is going on but they are trying to find out.

Felt happy with service

April 11, 2023
I had tests done at the liver clinic and they found issues with my stomach. I didn't always understand what they were telling me. I had MRI scans and a few weeks ago they discharged me. But I felt happy with that. They also put me on Vitamin B12.

If it’s an emergency they don’t provide a interpreter which makes things very difficult.

They were wonderful

I went here for specialist cancer treatment. They were good, I was referred from the oncologist at Good Hope Hospital and would go here for certain procedures. They kept me comfortable and would explain things to me. Oh yes, they were wonderful.
