Some staff do not listen to patients.

October 18, 2023
The QE needs to improve in treating patients as they do not listen. The same at Heartlands. Some of the staff are not professional.

Communication is better than other hopitals

October 18, 2023
I am here for my kidneys. The waiting area is not so good but the communication here is better and other hospitals need to emulate that.

Long waits, no follow ups, poor communication

October 17, 2023
I have had two recent experiences the first time I attended A&E and after a long wait I was sent home. The second visit to A&E resulted in me being admitted but communication was poor, nothing was really explained to me. My medication was changed but to date I have not had a follow up appointment. I have phoned the secretary of my consultant and told that there is nothing available and I just have to wait.

Care could have been better.

October 16, 2023
The care there could have been a bit better. In general they're understaffed and can't do everything. But everyone can always improve that's all I am going to say.

It's been a good hospital for me.

I was in the QE for a fortnight. I was taken in by ambulance. It's criticised a lot but it's been good for me. I ended up being sent to Good Hope.

They could do things quicker.

October 16, 2023
I went for a check up. They took x-rays of my arm to see when I can start physiotherapy but they haven't sent the results yet so physio hasn't started. They could do things quicker because I want to start physio.

They were good with my mom.

October 16, 2023
I was in a bay with four patients which was good. They were good with mom, being able to be around other people. She was admitted to A&E as she wasn't mobile even after having a knee operation. Having shooting pains in hip so she ended up being admitted.
