Very over run but consultant is good

December 18, 2023
The service is very over run. I do see them regularly but I don't see any change in the system as there isn't the money there to do so. The consultant is good and when I had my kidney transplant they were very good. They kept in contact with me and explained everything well.

I had a kidney transplant and I am here for a follow up. I was seen on time and they do medication reviews and see me regularly. They have been helpful.

I don't like the QE as its too big.

December 14, 2023
I have injections for anaemia from the district nurses and they come out to my home to do that. I don't like the QE as people aren't helpful anymore. The hospital is too big. I was there during Christmas and they had the army nurses and they would treat you a bit rough. That was the female staff more than the males. The proper nurses aren't too bad.

They were good and changed my medication

Cardiology
December 13, 2023
I was transferred to the QE from Heartlands as I was in a coma. They were meant to change a stent but didn't do it. They changed my medication and I told them about it and said what was happening about feeling low and they changed it immediately. They were good.

Wonderful doctors

Ophthalmology
December 13, 2023
I have glaucoma and have had numerous attacks of uveitis. I cannot praise the Ophthalmology Dept of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital highly enough. On several occasions I have had a uveitis flare up. When this occurs, I email the departmental secretary details and a photograph of the eye. Usually I am contacted by phone either 30 minutes and asked to attend for an emergency appointment ASAP. On one occasion I had 5 occlusion at the back of my eye. If it had not been treated so quickly I would now be blind in that eye. The Doctors are wonderful.

No hospital transport

December 13, 2023
At one time I got hospital transport now I have to make my own way and there is no buses were I live. It costs me up to £100 plus some weeks which I can't afford and the fact that I don't always feel well enough to use taxis I am 81 hrs old and have cancer and other illnesses it's disgusting.
