I saw Dr Elly Brockbank and Dr Devlin during my last follow up appointment post surgery and asked if it was possible to leave feedback. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer on 5th June and since then I can’t fault a single stage of my care. The doctors were quick to put me on chemotherapy as the cancer was spreading quickly, all whilst talking me through the procedure and offering me mental and physical support. I was not treated as just another patient, the care felt personal and I feel this played a great part in my recovery. Despite the nature of the appointments, I have always looked forward to seeing the doctors as their kind words and professionalism bring great reassurance. Dr Brockbank’s regular check ins prior to surgery came with practical advice and an opportunity to voice any concerns so I felt prepared going into theatre. Post surgery, I never had any doubt when my consultants told me that I was now in remission and I will forever be grateful for the outcome. If ever there was a way in which a cancer diagnosis should be treated, I feel that my level of care would be exemplary!

Total lack of communication between departments. Seemed like they hadn’t actually read any of the notes regarding my son. He would get told one thing by one team which would get his hopes up to then get told another by a different team. One doctor had no bedside manner whatsoever ever and I can only hope that no other family has the dealing with her in the same situation.

I was there in August 2015 and I owe my life to Dr Waldman and his team. Him and his team saved my life. Everyone there from top to bottom was amazing. I know Dr Waldman has moved to a bigger role but he is truly an exceptional cardiologist and doctor and an amazing human being. I can not praise all the nurses enough. I go there every year for annual check up. I was there yesterday as well from the time you enter the hospital and you leave is such a great experience. I would like to say thanks so much to all the people in Barts they are amazing people they put there patients first and they are never without a smile. I pray for all of them everyday I wish I could repay them for there care support and kindness. When I say everyone I mean everyone the Porter the cleaner the staff at the bottom who do not get enough credit honestly wish we all could become such good human beings like all the people at Barts.

The care I have received in the past and even over the weekend from almost all the staff within GUCH, Endocrinology and pulmonary cardiology teams have been exceptional. So, I am at odds with myself to write a less than glowing review. My cardiac device and body disagreed from an infection. Dr Will discussed what had happened, sought further advice from his professor, I assume- Mr Hunter (I have not met him as he is not my cardiologist and this was essentially emergency care. I was informed that removal needed to be immediate and Will took the care necessary to put my mind at ease and transferred me to ward C where I met the usual incredible set of medical care practitioners. However, it fell apart when the perfectly pleasant man Dr Nikhil Aluwalia decided to proceed; after telling me initially that his senior consultant will be coming to perform the procedure, but this is not an issue as Nik should be fully qualified, given his status. Unfortunately, this is where his 'disruptor' beliefs met his cavalier attitude and combined with a total disrespect of me as a woman and more specifically presented the very thing black people-specifically black women have been accusing doctors of getting Wong for some time. It seems Dr Nikhil Ahluwalia believes I could not feel pain. Let us recall that my wound site was infected. Yet, he did not wait for the local anaesthetic to work. He began, I explained that I was not feeling pressure but actual sharp pain, he paused and then continue, repeating that it would be over soon, 'and it is much like giving birth'. To which I duly told him not all people go through less than traumatic births. Only then did he seem to understand and he certainly was deaf to my stating that I can still feel him tugging and sharpness. When will doctors like Nik learn that patients are not for practicing until then get it right? When will black people get treated with dignity and due care especially with pain management? And, how dare a male doctor allude to teh pain of childbirth when he has never experienced giving birth to a little human? I am so very disappointed and angry that something like that is happening with such a young doctor,it seems that for all the research and new training on treating women and more specifically black women; nothing has changed!

Dr James Aries has provided me with excellent care & attention since becoming a patient. He has a pleasant & friendly manner and takes time to carefully monitor my recovery, medication & ongoing treatment. I feel in very safe hands being looked after by Barts Hospital as a whole.

I had open heart surgery at barts in march 2020. I had the best care i could ever hope for. Every single person i came into contact with, doctors, nurses, porters, the ladies who made my wonderful food and the lovely people who cleaned my room were the nicest, most pleasant people. The day i left my regret was that i could not thank everyone personally. They were all fantastic and kept me at ease at the most scarey time of my life. Thank you all. George bradley
