Spire Gatwick Park Hospital

I spent three nights in Gatwick Spire having a hip replacement and had follow up physiotherapy appointments. Without exception the staff were kind, considerate and professional and my recovery has been quicker than expected.

Very good care - however the nurse taking me to the operating theatre was unsure of how to get there and when we did get there, she did not know the entry code!! So we had to wait for someone to come along and let us in. Not very satisfactory. However, this was my only grumble. All other nursing staff excellent.

Excellent experience, no problems at all, everyone really pleasant and helpful!

Great hospital.

Gatwick Park was rated as "in need of improvement" and I concur. As a prelude to my throat operation I needed a barium swallow examination but Gatwick Park's radiology equipment was out of action and was expected to be so for some weeks so I had to travel to another hospital. Secondly they were unable to check my INR by finger prick as their one and only device was malfunctioning so blood withdrawal was necesary.
