Review titled Superb care from pre op to discharge
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 December 2022
These days because of demand on services often non urgent care is affected. Let me tell you my story : I work in the NHS and understand all the pressures but at the end of last month I had a total hip replacement at Charing Cross Hospital and it has transformed both my physical and mental health Knowing the pressures system was under I tolerated extreme pain and lack of mobility for 18 months without seeking help :I continued to work but was finding it more and more difficult to maintain my independence I was persuaded to have surgery and it has transformed my life Thank you so much to all the staff on Ward 7 South nurses, HCAs , Drs, therapists and ward hostesses you were fantastic and the Ward matron was amazing as a leader and my surgeon so caring I want everyone to know that a joint replacement does change lives and for everyone to understand although considered routine surgery it is not routine for a patient whose mobility is affected and in a lot of pain Thanks to Charing Cross Hospital for a new lease of life

Review titled Mammogram results missing
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by DEA Slater - Posted on 28 November 2022
As a 50 year old whose mother and maternal aunt both have had breast cancer and whose brother died from cancer last year (genetic component), it doesn’t sit well with me that Charing Cross’ breast screening programme can’t seem to get my results to me despite the promises (yes, I’ve been on the phone to chase up) of popping another results letter in the post to my address (yes, they have the right one). It’s 5 weeks on and it would be great to know my results! Too bad putting a results letter in a letter box is hospital admin’s equivalent of scaling Everest; impossible to do.

Review titled Not a great experience
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 October 2022
My recent breast scan was a totally different experience to the first one that I had 3 years ago. When I had the first one I was told to change in a cubicle and given a gown to cover myself before the exam started, the mammographer was very calm and reassuring and explained everything that was going to happen. When I had my recent one, I had to change in the same room as the mammographer and walk across the room with my breasts exposed which left me feeling very uncomfortable. I also found the mammographer to be quite abrupt

Review titled Positive, well informed and friendly experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Carol Robertson - Posted on 09 October 2022
I attended the Breast Care / Screening Assessment Clinic in Charing Cross Hospital on 3/10/22 and received the very best of service, I could not ask for more. Was met by the friendliest nurse ever, a fabulous communicator. Then a nurse took my details, a great listener and explained everything clearly and ensured I understood and had the opportunity to ask questions. Had another mammogram (ladies were very efficient and caring) and then ultrasound. All was clear and a good outcome for me. The team were just fabulous in every way. I can't praise them highly enough. Please pass on my thanks

Review titled Fantastic blood clinic team, shame about state of building
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Adam - Posted on 20 September 2022
I had bloods taken a week ago in the blood clinic, west wing of the hospital. The staff were fantastic, very kind and conscientious when there was a mix-up with my paperwork. I also had a bad reaction to the blood being taken but I was looked after by a nurse (I am not allowed to give their name!), who was so compassionate and really looked after me until I pulled through. All the staff in the clinic seemed kind and supportive of one another, doing their best in a very busy part of the hospital. Thank you so much! The only other thing I would comment on is a more general observation - the hospital building itself is in dire need of renovation. Lots of areas of the hospital are dark and boarded up. Wall displays are stale and unwelcoming. Ceiling tiles are dirty, with many missing. This must really have an impact on the many fantastic people who work there. Investment urgently needed.

Review titled Dreadful. Still waiting for the telephone call.
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 May 2023
I was referred to the clinic in 2020. To cut a long story short there has been no reply to 2 GP letters and I am still waiting for the August 2022 phone call. I feel uncared for and totally let down.

Review titled My outpatient appointment
by jackpotkr75 - Posted on 01 August 2022
I saw two nurses slightly later than my appointment time, but this did not matter to me. I felt very reassured after scans they had done efficiently on my side and lower back near kidneys. They answered my questions about the procedure very well in non medical language

Review titled Poor
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 July 2022
Some of the nursing staff are hit and miss in terms of quality, from very attentive to ignoring me. Little or no communication from the doctors regarding what's going on. Sleeping at night is impossible. Someone was cleaning at 2am. Feels like a concentration camp at times. Patients are woken up at 4am. Being your own toilet paper and wet wipes. They are not provided.
