The private unit at the hospital was clean and tidy. I was very happy with my consultant and his care, but I was a bit disappointed by the nurses' care in the private unit. When on the ward, I struggled to get help when needed and pain relief in a timely manner. Overall I would say the private unit at the Royal Free was good.
Worst experience of my life! Their 5000 numer is a joke, can be on hold for 2 h and still wont get through, they book app very randomly, never check availability with patient and then never call at the time of the app anyway, doctors prescribed meds that were harmful for my other conditions, 4 hour wait in pharmacy is a standard and no possibility ever to call back any dept in the hospital, doctors dont bother call the patients, rather leave messages they will call in few weeks, formal complaints cant help anything either.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOSPITAL. never again!
long wait but otherwise fine
My best mate F, 89yrs old had a fall last Friday. Spent nearly 3.5hrs on the floor. Ambulance eventually go him to Royal Free Hospital.
Staff at Royal Free think they’re above scrutiny and can do as they please.
You never can speak to the nurse on the phone no matter how many times you ring (if they bother to pick up).
You are disruptive if you show up out of visiting hours (despite flying in from Spain) they don’t care.
And in a dismissive manner, tell you to go and stand or sit by the patients bed until the GP comes by.
GP told me he’s seeing one other patient and will be straight back. An hour later GP returns.
When I voiced my concern that the Royal Free staff have not contacted the patients next of kin in Derbyshire about the patient’s diagnosis to F’s GP- Dr Kumar he looked nonplussed and shrugged his shoulders. Not my problem.
They could care less about the older generation. It’s a disgrace.
Excellent Hospital
