Incorrect Information Given
August 31, 2021
According to the ward sister the Dr gave me incorrect information but made me feel lime it was my fault. No empathy and was very abrupt even though a few days before I had an lung cancer operation.
Lack of joined up service
August 18, 2021
Cardiac care - No previous experience until March 21. Now under their care. Lack of joined up service, no information, long delays. Things only progress if I initiate them.
Long wait

Terrible
August 17, 2021
Terrible . Have to wait forever to get seen. Passed from one room to another without any windows or water. Have to wait a minimum of 4 hours to be seen. There are nurses standing round chatting to other nurses or on their phones ..overworked I don't think so

Busy but I was well cared for having worked in the Heath service for over 30 years nurses are not paid enough
Good
Pain management
July 14, 2021
I did have issues with getting appointments at the QE but more recently they’ve become much better with this. I’ve been able to speak to someone on my consultants team and get help quite quickly when I’ve really needed it. Props to Dr in the pain clinic whose happy to listen, help and advise rather than rush people ans excuse them.
Been overdosed for a month!
Endocrinology

It took them 2 years to figure out I had Graves’ disease.I was on 10mg a day. Took my blood test a month ago where they said I should take 5mg now. The letter took a month to come. I had been calling them telling them I am not feeling well and if they could atleast let me know if my medicine dosage needs adjustment to that I would be told the nurse will send out the letter. I called 3 weeks in a row on June 22 I was told the nurse still hasn’t attached any letter with my report (that was for May 26) as soon as she does they will let me know.
I have been taking higher dose of medicine thanks to their negligence!

Fast track breats screening
June 17, 2021
My GP arranged an appointment for a 2 week fast track Breast Screening appointment at Good Hope but on making enquiry with them was told they are not taking appointments for a fast track Breast Screening services so was told to contact QE. They have a 10 week wait due to back log of appointments. I then telephoned City Hospital to ask what their time frame was and I got a two week referral with City. How come one hospital, the QE in particular, who is a centre of excellence, was not able to offer fast track appointments. Why are GP's not getting correct up to date information on availability on these fast track services? This needs rectifying as someone could die waiting for an appointment.

Cancelled appointments
June 16, 2021
In lockdown, I have had consultant appointments cancelled repeatedly. Even when these have been phone appointments, they have still been cancelled. I am now nearly 1 year on from an MRI and I still have not had feedback from it! Why is it so difficult to stick to a booked phone call. I have been informed of the cancellation of several appointments when I had not been informed of the appointment in the first place. I should be receiving annual reviews with a consultant for potential prostate cancer yet I have now had the second year's appointments cancelled with no expectation set of when I will have my appointment. It doesn't matter how great the consultants are, if you can't get an appointment then there is no service!

Bad experience
June 16, 2021
My late husband was cared for in the QE for pancreatic cancer and the care left a lot to be desired - pain relief not prescribed for 24hours despite having given the dr and the ward a list of his medication., and pa In relief not given in a timely way. Other medication also not given. Nothing was done about a patient in the bay who kept everyone awake by playing music loudly. He was told by a member of staff one night that she had better things to do than keep giving him pain relief. The food was terrible . He died within 3 weeks of diagnosis and we and he were extremely fortunate that the last week of his life was spent in a hospice where the staff were caring and ensured he was pain free.
