Review titled Irresponsible
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Khurshed Alam - Posted on 18 May 2024
My visit to St. Mary's A&E after a collapse was a frustrating experience. Despite initial approval for a full examination, after waiting over 8 hours, I only received a blood test and a quick ECG for 30 Sec and only consultation with a nurse who was unable to offer painkillers. They did not do a thorough examination of my hand and back pain, both injured during the fall, coupled with no pain mitigation options, which left me feeling frustrated. They promised me someone would see me for the pain and injury, but no one did. They advised a 3-4 hour wait to see a doctor for pain medication, despite the fact that I had already waited 8 hours with severe back pain and a blood-drawing needle in my hand. Ultimately, they recommended follow-up with my GP for a more thorough check-up, including possibly a longer-term ECG. They did nothing but suck some blood, no medicine, and not even offer paracetamol or wound wipes for my hand injury. It's important to clarify that I left the hospital on their advice and signed a discharge form as they requested. This morning, however, I received an NHS message stating I left the hospital without treatment after assessment against medical advice. Bravo for their technicality—they seem to be bad lawyers instead of good medical practitioners.

Review titled First shift and the just the one on night shift
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Bobby Jackson - Posted on 22 April 2024
First shift nurses and the one on night shift made me feel right at home. They are very young women and I Believe each and every one has found their calling. I wanted so badly to feel less like the ER and night shift nurses made me feel. Those angels on first shift and the one on night shift turned that whole environment around. Im so amazed at these young women. They bring their hearts to work with them. You can feel it. I thank you ladies your awesome. We need more people like you in this world. I love you all. I just don't know what to say. I'm amazed.

Review titled Brilliant nursing staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anne - Posted on 05 May 2024
I attended a&e late Sunday night after the london marathon after hurting myself running. I was able to finish well in time for a medal and raise a lot of money for charity. The staff at a&e could not have been more caring from initial contact to ward staff, xray staff, scanning staff. Although was only in for 3 days they made my stay much better than it could have been. Every member of staff I saw had so much empathy to patients even if some of them were challenging at times. Thankyou all so much for your care and compassion.

Review titled Great experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Katie Tierno - Posted on 24 April 2024
It was my first time in the A&E with a very scary set of symptoms, and everyone from reception, to the nurses, techs and doctors were kind and empathetic. I was also so impressed with how quickly everything moved. I was thoroughly tested, made to feel comfortable, and everyone took extra steps to make sure there wasn't anything they did to increase my anxiety or nervousness. I could tell they love their jobs by the duty of care delivered and the kindness behind it. Truly grateful for the entire staff, thank you.

Review titled Fantastic staff
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by anthony turnbull - Posted on 20 March 2024
I had to attend A&E last night after catching my finger in a food blender. Yes, there was a lengthy wait but everyone from receptionists to nurses to radiographers in A&E and the urgent treatment centre was exceptionally friendly, kind and professional. I just want to say a big thank you.

Review titled Disappointing
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Bea - Posted on 19 March 2024
Visited the A&E yesterday with what I consider serious issues. There seems to be such waste of time at the initial stage of the process. In total, 5 NHS personnel spoke to me (one took blood samples) before I saw a doctor. That makes 6. Where is the efficiency in that? Appearing to move patients through the system and actually doing so is different. Lastly, when I was inquiring about a treatment that I was unfamiliar with, it was seen as an affront to the capabilities of the team. Yet, a grave error was made by not labelling a supposed iron transfusion treatment (IV) with my personal details. Who does that? How can a patient trust treatment plans when it is not taken seriously? Time will be saved and more patients catered for if the unnecessary process of speaking to multiple personnel is removed - just saying. All this delays much needed treatment.

Review titled Great Service at Early Pregnancy Unit
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Karina - Posted on 20 March 2024
I have had the best experience ever with the EPU at St Mary’s Hospital. The staff were extremely polite and the specialist nurse that have seen me, gave me all the reassurance and information I needed. They offered me another appointment in 2 weeks time, which in my case brings peace of mind (I had several miscarriages). The nurse was warm and extremely helpful. I am so grateful to the service I received.
