They see you in A&E quicker here

January 17, 2024
Better to go there. I get seen even though it's further to get there. The A&E department is better and they are better at seeing you quicker.

Communication is a problem

Accident and emergency services
January 17, 2024
She is in her 80's and she had a fall at her house. Her son was helping her to do exercises at her house and she fell and broke her leg or something. She was admitted to A&E at the the QE and I went to see her. Me and her son asked why she wasn't being discharged and they told us she needed to get approval from physiotherapy but they did not communicate properly why and the reasons. It took one more week to discharge her. They didn't give an proper explanation why it was late. There is a problem with communication.

We went straight through at A&E with my moms head injury. As soon as they know it's a head injury they treat you as a priority.

Doctors strikes have delayed urgent referrals

Ear Nose and Throat
January 17, 2024
I was referred here for further tests for possible throat cancer. The referral was made for a 2 week urgent referral before Christmas but due to the doctors strikes it has delayed referrals for 5 to 6 weeks. I still haven't heard anything from the ENT department about my referral.

The food was rubbish and not enough choice

January 16, 2024
They operated on my foot and put metal rods in and the food was rubbish. I could only choose cereal. There wasn't much choice. The care was okay.
