Review of King George’s - Accident & Emergency
1st December 2023


Do not attend at King's George or Queen's Hospital if you want to receive a proper emergency treatment. They don't care about patients. Very inexperienced medical staff and a long wait for more than 16 hours and no treatment provided.

Suggested improvements
Close down or go private.

Review of King George’s - Accident & Emergency
30th November 2023


All but two nurses were pleacent, were caring, friendly and compassionate. The other two were abrupt to the point of rude and quiet uncaring - I believe one may have been a Sister, she wore dark blue uniform. While in Majors Bay 19 this person upset more than one person. Ignoring what she said to me; there was a frail elderly lady in opposite Bay. The elderly lady (with dementia) may have asked a question. However, this lady was shouted at, in very rude terms; upsetting drastically. Her daughter arrived shortly over wards; I do not remember if she was there previously. The lady was crying and in distress; I was able to inform the daughter, of what happened. When that nurse was taken to task about it, she stated that she would not stop until the person who did the offence, was found but it was the same nurse!

Like so many, my phone was lossing charge, being rushed in, I forgot my cable. A very kind nurse, possible Sam, a tall, slim, bald but could have had light coloured hair, lent me his charger - most helpful. It would be useful if there were lockable charging stations, as seen certainly in Westfield's and other establishments. They has similar in Newham's cafeteria area, and this would be beneficial to staff and well as patients.

The care for my son was good but the wait is too much

Suggested improvements
I think the wait should be shorter More information about what to expect next is essential so you don't feel like you're waiting for nothing .

Review of King George’s - Accident & Emergency
29th November 2023


The staff did the best that they could under the circumstances but a&e was overcrowded with patients in the corridors and people sitting on the floors. Staff were fed up. Many patients with mental health issues shouting and others distressed made it difficult for you to relax and sometimes it felt unsafe. We waited nearly 10 hours mostly in the corridors with people and the patient was 93!! Staff looked tired and deflated. Patients were in pain, discomfort and disbelief!

Suggested improvements
Everything!!

Was totally looked after. Was expecting large delays but was triaged fairly quickly but the wait after that was lengthy. Good clean environment and polite and helpful staff.

Suggested improvements
Just the length of time waiting even the X-ray department albeit empty

I was sent to urgent care with a migraine, visual disturbance and no tolerance to noise and sat in a crowded loud busy room for 3 hrs.. the gp then decided I needed more tests and sent to A&E with a possible clot or brain bleed… 3 further hours later a ct scan was done and some more bloods.. then there was apparently a dr there to review but no body was called for the next 12 hours.. so overall 17 hours later I was seen, given a bed for 15 mins whilst I got a drip and then sat on a chair with advise to be referred to a specialist and sent home.. for a disabled person with a migraine they sent me home worse off then coming in..

Everyone was fantastic asides from one senior Dr. He was a bit rude and kept shouting even though I had told him I was in with a migraine attack with severe photophobia, sensitivity to noise and smell. It was when a Jr Dr then spoke up for me that he finally lowered his tone.

Suggested improvements
Please make sure that the staff involved in my care are valued and appreciated because they were fantastic. Members of staff to praise personally: The nurse in the red top that placed my cannula and took my blood samples Nurse Katie Nurse Sophie Nurse Renato Nurse Simona Nurse Elizabeth Jr Dr Farhanna

The casualty was very busy and chaotic, waited over 16 hours before I was seen. I didn't know what was going on. I was sent home after 20 hours and was not followed up as I had been told. A really awful experience.

Suggested improvements
More doctors needed and better organisation.
