Review of King George’s - Accident & Emergency
19th September 2023


Long waut tumes, staff attitudes and treatment of patients was rude. I spent over 8 hours in A&E. Delays could have been avoided if staff communicated better. I waited 2 hours for urine results, 1.5 waiting for the sample.to.be taken to.be tested. Cannula should have been put in when bloods taken but this was missed adding 40mins delay in treatment.

Suggested improvements
Everything, from the initial assessment, to treatment. Staff need to be educated as to how to treat patients and that they are providing a service to someone who needs medical attention. They deserve to be treated with respect.

Review of King George’s - Accident & Emergency

Most staff were brilliant The only person that let everyone down was the woman that done my ECG She walked past my cubicle calling my name by the time I got up she had gone When she came back round I explained I had heard her but missed her to keep being told I called you I called you Then to be asked have you got chest pain now ? I replied no , she then turned round looked at me and said you know that's why your here Im 68 I've got cancer , Sarcoidosis and have just recovered from blood clots on my lungs , I did not ask to go to hospital I was told I had to go to be checked That one person made me feel like I was a time waster , its people like her that give a brilliant service a bad name

Suggested improvements
Perhaps remind staff it doesn't take much to be polite

Review of King George’s - Accident & Emergency
19th September 2023


During my experience at king George, I was brought in for anaphylaxis by ambulance- I was firstly given the wrong wrist band and then when removed, not given another. Baring in mind I have a lot of allergies. I was then given a canula and drip and told to wait on a chair in a cubicle of 4 chairs (very claustrophobic) and not good for someone with TLP who can’t get over heated. Once my treatment had finished , I was then told to wait outside, which I explained I have to be observed for at least a few hours before I go in the waiting area incase I have a secondary reaction. After just sitting there for about 5 hours, I left with a high heart rate.

Suggested improvements
Taken more individual care of each patient and their needs on an individual basis.

Review of King George’s - Accident & Emergency
19th September 2023


"I recently had an unfortunate experience at King George Hospital's emergency department. While I understand that emergency rooms can be busy, my visit left me quite dissatisfied. The waiting times were exceptionally long, and the staff seemed overwhelmed. Communication was lacking, and I didn't feel well-informed about my treatment plan. Additionally, the facilities appeared outdated and in need of improvement. I hope the hospital can address these issues to provide better care for patients in the future." “My recent visit to the hospital was marred by a deeply unpleasant encounter with Head Nurse Kerline. Her demeanor and behavior were shockingly disrespectful. I felt unheard and belittled during our interaction, which is entirely unacceptable when seeking medical care.

Suggested improvements
I hope the hospital takes steps to address such behavior to ensure that patients are treated with the respect and professionalism they deserve.”

Medical staff seem to patronise , regardless of your own intelligence or professional standing , not all but some ! Ineffective use of time and repetition of the same task . Waiting 9 hours to be dealt with is not acceptable, given I was sent here for something that I was told was spreading rapidly and could affect my brain

Suggested improvements
Communicate . Talk to people on a level not down . NHS may be a free service but it is not free and we the public pay a huge amount for it , therefore to give the impression you are an inconvenience and somehow not deserving of good service is very poor
