Fast appointment
October 21, 2025
My partner was referred to QE hospital due to a lump in his lungs that they think is cancerous and will need an operation. It didn't take long for the appointment, matter of days in fact. It's very big here but we found the place okay and the staff were very nice and helpful. It was nice getting a coffee here too.
Can take hours to be seen
Outpatients

I saw them quickly and had a liver scan. Communicated with me effectively. Time keeping is poor and nobody knows when they're going to get seen. It can take hours of waiting sometimes.
They upheld my dignity

I've been a patient a few times in this hospital. The service is quite good. They treated me well and upheld my dignity and respect. I don't have to wait long to be seen either.
Feel pushed from pillar to post

The first appointment was fine, but I was scanned at three different hospital in one week and felt pushed from pillar to post. Appointments have also been regularly cancelled here in July due to strikes. I'm waiting for a date for an op but no communication as to when. I feel demoralised as this has been ongoing for months.
I loved ENT

I loved ENT. It's great and I haven't waited too long. I had lumps in back of my throat and they have been good at keeping up with check ups.
Waited a while for the referral

I was referred from the GP to the liver department. It took over 3 months to get the appointment as it wasn't urgent. I had to wait over an hour at the appointment to be seen. I wasn't told beforehand I would need a blood test either which was annoying.
Good at the pharmacy
Outpatients

When I was discharged I had to wait a while for my medication at the pharmacy. They were good in there and gave me a buzzer for when it was ready.
They didn't take me seriously
A&E
October 21, 2025
I came to A&E with sepsis as they couldn't send an ambulance. They thought I was over exaggerating chest pain. I waited for 1 and a half hours before I was looked at and then they realised I was serious and got me transferred to a ward as I had sepsis.
They were good and understanding

Good at the appointment, they understood what was happening. They gave me a letter after I told them what had happened at A&E and I was turned away so they know to take me seriously next time we have to go.
Good and had time for me

Outpatients are good. Had blood tests and to see if I can get more answers. There is a 4 months wait for a referral. That could be quicker. The staff were lovely and felt like they had time for me.
