My son had a motorbike accident and was sent to queen elizabeth hospital. All of the staff were fantastic and so helpful. Mr Zino went out of his way to save my son from having his spleen removed we couldn't be more grateful to him. The staff in unit 6 were amazing, they couldn't do more for my son and myself. It was such a scary time for us but the staff all made it more bearable. They really care.
I have been hospitalised twice in the last year or so at QEUH. Both times I am happy about and grateful for the care I've received.
My wife had a fall and suffered brain injury. The OT team lead by Claire were absolutely fantastic, but the care and treatment in ward 64 was really bad. The staff there should be able to handle unco-operative patients as the patients have suffered brain injuries which affect their responses. My wife was left without a wash or bath or change of clothes or toothbrush for 3 weeks. Ignored by staff and doctors.
The big exception was the OT team who were wonderful.
My wife was moved to Royal rheumatology ward for no apparent reason, and so all the good work done by the OT team was spoilt. For some unknown reason she was not offered a place at the rehab unit.
I had to visit A&E this week
I know there is bad press about this hospital,however I can not praise the staff highly enough the care and attention I received was top notch Doctors and nurses are superb I went in slightly worried and left that evening with my mind at ease to feel that way you don’t mind waiting any length of time
My husband was hospitalised with Pneumonia, while the doctors were examining him when i went to visit him, i was watching a you tube short, it was pretty funny and i showed my daughter the phone and said freaky feet, the nurse ran out the room and told all the staff including writing it on my husbands record that i was abusive by calling her professor freaky feet, which was not the case, they refused to tell us what was wrong and we were told if the hospital staff find you offensive they will hold back a diagnosis from you as a form of punishment, seemed the blonde nurse was looking for things to be offended by we were treated so badly be hospital staff all because of an attention seeking nurse, i would not return to this hospital.
On arriving at a/e in the afternoon after advice from 111 as I had chest discomfort I was seen and given ecg/ bloods/recordings and x ray. Was advised all negative bar blood which required repeating after 3hrs.told this was now OK but they wished for me to stay overnight and "speak" to a cardiologist the next day. I was then moved to a different unit after breakfast, put in a side room and sat there staring at the ward till 21.40pm.treated well by the nursing staff but in the 31hrs I spent in the Hospital I never once spoke to a doctor. I walked out 21.45pm,noticed I had received texts and phone calls from them after midnight. A nightmare.
I had a serious fall and was taken to the QEUH. From the moment I arrived in A&E I was given wonderful care. The reception staff were efficient and kind. I was triaged quickly and the staff nurse was wonderful. I was given a room and assessed and ct scanned. I was seen by 3 doctors( Kevin, Nicole and Arthur) and all the fabulous nursing staff - I’m sorry I didn’t catch any names !
I was sent to ARU 4. The staff there are outstanding. It is a constant hub of patients coming and going and the staff still had time to check if I needed anything and I was comfortable .
I would like to single out Staff Nurses Michelle and Grace for taking such wonderful care of me and Jim,Carol, Sheree and Joanne for tea and sympathy ( and helping me in and out of bed!). Lindsey the ward sister popped in to check I was well , she is charming ,funny and put me completely at ease.
Thanks also to Dr Mitchell and her team of fabulous doctors.
I cannot praise ARU 4 highly enough !
I spent my last night in Ward 2A - again a very busy ward and once again fantastic treatment. I’m sorry I can’t remember everyone’s names but thank you to Catriona for admitting me to the ward and all the nursing and health care staff for their care and a special thanks to the beautiful young nurse with the fabulous hair who took care of me before I left - I’m so sorry I can’t remember your name. Finally thanks to student Nurse Kieran , you were fantastic and have obviously chosen the right career!
A sincere thank you to all the staff in the hospital the porters, domestics, kitchen staff ( meals were delicious), nursing staff, medical staff and all the volunteers ( especially the lovely lady who brought me and my daughter tea in A&E).
Service was appauling.
No care AT ALL for patients.No aftercare post operation. .I came home with a red laundry bag assuming soled clothes…….no…….clothes clean but my fathers medical notes were in bag.
If I ever have to get a serious surgical procedure I would NEVER go to this hospital.
Such a shame my dad had this terrible treatment before he passed away.
I spent a week at this hospital in October 2023 after being diagnosed with pneumonia. I cannot speak too highly about my experience and all the staff (the consultant Ali, the doctors, nurses, porters and catering staff) worked so hard and were simply brilliant. I walked into the hospital A and E (no queueing in an ambulance) and was seen within 20 minutes.
Spent three and a half months in the QEUH last year , nursing , medical staff ,AHPs , domestic and kitchen staff were so kind and patient . Referrals and investigations were made so quickly and results reported back within a few hours / days . By the time I left it was like leaving my family behind !
The Atrium part of the hospital with an M & S food
hall , newsagent and cafes was a great place to meet with visitors or take a walk if you are mobile,
We hear so many negative comments about the NHS and our hospitals but I have nothing but admiration and thanks for the staff in QEUH . They were just the best and I will never be able to thank them enough !!
