Review titled Clinicians are good, administration beyond awful
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 May 2024
Literally hours of my life have been spent phoning different departments, on hold, with calls being cut off, desperately trying to find out why my son has not been given the appointments and scans I was told he needed. Emails asking for help have been ignored. I have been passed from paediatrics to other Departments and back again. Internal systems don’t talk to each other and when we did last suceed in getting an appointment paediatrics was so rammed we spent two hours sitting on the floor in what can only be described as third world conditions. My family has multiple complex conditions and Kings is the very worst hospital we have to deal with - it doesn’t need to be this difficult, stressful and unpleasant.

Review titled Amazing care from all staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I had the misfortune of having to go to A&E twice within one week, and on each occasion, I was treated kindly and thoroughly examined until the cause of my urgent medical issues was found. I couldn't recommend Kings anymore highly.

Review titled Wonderful Service
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by M. Ryan - Posted on 21 February 2024
The help I received from the team manning the pharmacy helpline was fantastic. They were friendly, reassuring and went out of their way to make sure I received some meds from the Outpatients Pharmacy that I needed urgently. I wish I could pass on my thanks personally for their help it made all the difference.

Review titled Very pleasant Sonographer
Rated 4 stars out of 5

I won't mention the lady's name as per your guidelines but her name starts with K and she's a Sonographer who carried out my echocardiogram today. She was polite, upbeat and chatty which was very welcome and made my appointment go well.

Review titled No one answers the phone

I have tried on two occasions to try and phone the Cardiology department but no one answers the phone. Both times I was waiting for 15 minutes for someone to pick up. Why don't you have an email address????

Review titled Outstanding Care

Outstanding Care from start to finish. From reception to X Ray and all the consultants follow up. Really great guys. All the care to start with and in between and after is top grade.

Review titled Great in person, phone however
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Lena z - Posted on 20 October 2023
Been twice to Harris birthright for scan and both time I've been very pleased with the staff. However, I am still waiting for 2 scans to be booked . Been on the phone 4and half hours waiting to have someone with no answer yesterday and today I've been on the phone for over an hour with still no answer. This is ridiculous.

Review titled Appalling Farce
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Mrs Linstead-Hewlett - Posted on 13 November 2023
I had an appointment on 31st October- I am physically disabled and have an electric wheelchair- a member of staff assisted- sent me information on the ramps, threshold, door widths etc at my request. I had already been waiting over 5 months for this appointment. I phoned the week before to request a manual hoist to be told my appointment had been cancelled- I received no phone call or letter. Allegedly the Consultant deemed it not appropriate to attend due to not living in London - how naive of them- given you can seek treatment anywhere within England. Allegedly the cancellation was sent on a system to inform my Doctors Practice. I at no point was made aware of the cancellation and now because of this individual I have to wait again on the list to be seen - which will be 1 year. The person that took this decision needs to have training - if I had attended- would have been costly to myself without any form of consultation due the cancellation.
