Waiting times for clinics at the Royal London Hospital are always long, which is especially difficult with small children. The toys on offer are always very limited and it can be hard to keep children entertained. More should be done to improve punctuality of appointments and to make the waiting area more engaging and entertaining.. Also, seating is always limited, as every patient is accompanied by at least one parent & siblings in a lot of cases.

I was absolutely dreading this visit as I had visited the old hospital a year ago and did not enjoy the experience.my son came in for a minor surgery and on getting to reception we were taken in within 10minutes and shown in a private room! I was really pleased with this because when my son came out from the anasthetic he was given last year he screamed a lot and even though he had a much better experience this time I was less anxious about handling him in a private room compared to when we were in a shared ward last time with less privacy. The nurses were very genuinely friendly and courteous and caring! I really think the new work environment not only makes the patients/carers happier but even the staff too! Overall a pleasant experience. I am actually looking forward to our next visit!

Ward 7D was great, the nursing staff were fantastic, very helpful, very knowledgeable. We felt very confident in their ability and they were very caring towards our daughter. The surroundings were very pleasant compared to many other hospitals we have been in , and certainly a huge improvement on the old Royal London. Nice and bright and airy. However, as a parent who can not leave our daughter unattended whilst in hospital it is nearly impossible to get food and drinks unless you bring it all in with you. The Canteen is miles away and the Ward Kitchen is a poor excuse, particularly if you have to stay in for a long time. It is more like a broom cupboard well out of the way! Although there is a sink and tap, no washing up liquid, cleaning items etc. Again when it is unsafe to leave your child unattended, ie they may try to climb out of their cot, it is not easy to ask nurses for help as they are already extremely busy, let alone whilst you pop and microwave your food! The Canteen is nice though - just very far from some wards. The lifts are very small when you have a buggy and overnight bags. They end up being very crowded. A big hospital would surely justify some decent lifts! Lots of doors in the hospital, that are not automatic, very problematic for nurses bringing back patients from operating theatre on hospital beds. As a parent i Had to to stand and open doors so they could get through with my daughter. Overall nice hospital, lets hope it stays that way. Many thanks

We were rushed to royal london as an overnight emergency with our newborn son. During both the original diagnosis phase, the subsequent operation and now the check-ups the hospital and the staff have been amazing to us. Difficult to see how our son could have reveived much better care.

Children's clinic was busy today but plenty of books on hand to keep our son entertained during the long wait. Nice waiting area too, lots of colours, happier environment for children. Only thing I had a teencey problem with was the toilets downstairs, I appreciate it's a busy hospital and it can't be checked every minute, but there was paper all over the floor and it generally looked a bit grim. However, in the grand scheme of things it was a small problem, and our second visit to this hospital was as pleasant as such a thing can be!

Once being understood why you are there I fa- either be treated really badly, or really well... but the level of physical ssuh as in view of the plastic surgeons, they really knew what they were dealing with, never hid any negative problems that occured, and produced great, great results in surgery, the aftercare was superb, and the preparation for surgery was efficient. I would recommend the plqstic surgeons of the royal London to anyone who needed extensive burn treatment.
