This used to be known as Farnborough Hospital, but the current complex must be less than 7 years…read moreold and benefits from a modern design and layout. I'm not going to comment about individual services - with the NHS it can be entirely down to who you are due to see, about what and when. So, instead I'll concentrate on the facilities available and access: The hospital is served by at least 5 buses, but only the 261 and R1 actually enter the grounds. Most ward visiting hours tend to be 2-4pm and 6-8pm, though the nursing staff are pretty flexible if you give 'em advance warning. Visitors are pretty well catered for: there is a coffee bar and restaurant open during daytime hours, a newsagent which stays open longer and various vending machines. Tip: Finding a parking space at peak times is enough to give you a coronary however (as do the charges), so I recommend using the Sainsbury's car park next door. The hospital is pretty quick to get to from most places, as it is on the A21.

Poor service. I…read morewent to the urgent care centre and was very disappointed with the service I'm 17th weeks pregnant and was experiencing a lot of pain and feeling generally unwell. I was also worried about my unborn child. The dr that I saw was so pantronising. And spoke down to me as thou I had wasted her time, and was suggested that my pain was just due to growing pains! Please I dont choose to want to sit for two hours on my only day off to be told this. It turned out that I had uti. I asked the dr if she could check the baby's heartbeat as I was concerned she advised that they didn't offer this service due to patient misuse (which she was directing at me)!!! I have worked for the NHS for 18 years. And have never been so disappointed with the service.

My lovely neighbours recently gave birth to their second daughter here; sadly shortly afterwards…read moreshe had a very high fever and had to spend time, as an inpatient, in the Paediatric Department. It was very distressing for them to see their tiny baby so unwell and having to be subjected to blood tests and drips, at such a tender age. Happily she is now safely back at home; the situation was made easier for them because of the great care they received - they couldn't speak highly enough about the excellent staff who seemed to understand, and anticipate, everything they were going through. It's tough when hospitals in the UK get such bad press resulting in patients and visitors feeling even more anxious about levels of service or potentially worrying infections. So it's worth giving credit when one has a good experience. When I visited here, although I found it to be quite old-fashioned and had quite a long wait, the staff were pleasant and I was quite impressed (although not necessarily a guaranteed solution) at the obligatory gel hand-cleaning dispensers that had to be used before setting-foot beyond reception. I was happy and relieved to hear such heart-warming comments from my neighbours during such a distressing time.

One time I waited until gone 5:30, four and a half hours in a hot sticky waiting room, listening to the nurse talk loudly about every poor patients condition, only to be seen by a doctor that literally had such bad English she called in another nurse to help her understand what I was saying. Forty minutes for a straightforward prescription, not in a busy period I hasten to add. And. All of this after most the time spending 30+ minutes driving around to park in the car park getting stressed you'll miss an appointment, to pay a fortune to park. The only reason it isn't a 1* is because I think the NHS is a great institution.

It was the summer so I would spend my time sitting both in and outside. The surroundings are very modern and generally nice for a hospital. The car park costs 4.00 for the day, however I recommend parking along the main road just past the hospital coming from Barnet as there is free parking along that road. A short walk and you have saved yourself 4.00! There are two places to eat and drink in the hospital - a coffee shop open during the day and the canteen open till late. I found the cafe latte in the coffee shop to be weak and poor value for money. The canteen is cheaper but typical canteen food. The place itself is modern and for someone like me who hates hospitals I found it helped ease my mind.

Never Again! I am…read moregoing to write about the worst experience I have even had at the hands of a Doctor in a Hospital. The Whittington Hospital to be precise. His name is Dr. Joquau Kravvas from Thesalonica Greece, and he possesses the worst kind of Greek Male Mysogony that exists. I was greeted with "Why are you wearing two jumpers"? It is very cold possible the coldest day of the year I replied. He explained nothing about the treatment I had gathered from the nurse that he was about to remove some red skin that could possible develop into a cancerous growth, in the event it did not. Dr. Brarrack joked with the nurse that he would 'Have To Remove Half Of My Face' due to what he could see. I certainly hoped not. He drilled ferociously for half an hour. It was relentless. I hope I would;d not be scarred for life. The nurse said the scar would bleed for a week or so. It went on to bleed for over six weeks, I had to visit the A&E of UCHL during the Xmas break as it bled soo much throughout the dressing and I woke up to blood on my pillow for six weeks. This was embarrassing as I was staying with relatives for some of the holiday, Three months late the scar is still there. I wrote an honest review of my treatment and mentioned his name. He had it removed. But I doubt that Yelp will allow vanity struck doctors like him to remove an honest review. I like the nurses in the Dermatology dept. and I like the Italian coffee and soup stand that is parked in front of the Whittington, but I never want to set eyes on Joqau Barrack as long as I live. And I would not wish him to cut a biopsy into anyone\s cheek. Not even in Harley Street which he arrogantly brags about. He drilled by cheek with the ferocity of a farmer drilling a carcass,

Over the last month I have spent a fair bit of time in and out of various hospitals in London. I…read moream thinking of doing a series. So let's start with the one closest to home. Whilst this isn't the first hospital I have ever been in, in London, it was the first to offer me overnight hospitality and they keep asking me to come back for more. I get the feeling the staff like having me around, or my health issue is more serious than it feels. The staff here are great. Really friendly and welcoming. When I checked in to A&E I was glad to have a friend with me to kill the time but I was seen by triage within 20 minutes and then only had to wait a few hours (it wasn't obviously serious) before being seen by a doctor. The A&E doctor was a nice guy, though I didn't particularly approve of the way he stuck needles into me, it hurt quite a lot (it was in the hand) and since I hate needles anyway (even writing this is making me feel faint) I was throwing up quite a lot. The anti-sickness drugs took effect swiftly and when the blood test results came back I was given a room in major injuries within 5 minutes and a private room on a ward within a couple of hours. Everyone from the porters to the nurses and phlebotomists were amazing, always willing to chat and make you feel included in their lives. My friends tell me the ward doctor was very attractive. I was a little busy being ill to really judge but I can vouch for my friends good tastes. I was impressed with the range of tests they gave me and very grateful that with the NHS I didn't have to pay for any of this. The food on the ward was, average at best however the canteen area was filled with choices and all of which looked delicious. I can recommend this hospital, especially because there is a therapy dog who comes to visit every day and there are lots of local groups who visit the elderly and palliative care patients to ensure that everyone has a visitor during the visiting hours. Whilst there wasn't a tv or a phone in my room the time was passed pleasantly. Ambulatory care is also a very welcoming place to visit as well as just a wonderful phrase to repeat. The staff take good care of you here. If you get truly bored you can always count the pictures of cats scattered around the hospital.

There is an xray unit but this is only open at certain times so more often than not you will have to visit the larger Kent and Sussex hospital in Tunbridge Wells. Their main focus is care for the elderly who are recovering from illness/injury which means they can stay nearer to home. I had all my ante-natal care here during my first pregnancy and the midwives were fantastic. There is also free parking in the hospital car park which is a rare thing!

It was a very quick labour, as my dad says: I've never had a lot of patience! Anyway, a few years ago I had to undergo quite a scary surgery on my throat and for some reason I sought comfort in the fact I was referred to St George's Hospital for the big op. I had an amazing surgeon, Mr Williamson, some brilliant (and one gorgeous) student interns and the most fantastic, hard-working and comforting nurses EVER on the wonderfully named Florence Nightingale ward. I was in for three days and had to share my ward with all men, not nice, but they thoughtfully put me by the window and kept my curtain closed so I could have my privacy. The ward was clean and although I really hated the food the nurses were usually happy to give me extra yoghurt to make up for it. Mr Williamson was a fabulous surgeon and although I lost my voice for six weeks it eventually came back and everything worked out well (some may consider that length of silence from me a blessing anyway). This hospital houses some amazing staff and the amount of crap the nurses have to endure daily and the hours they work in comparison to their pay is shameful. Especially when you look at how much other people are paid in jobs much less significant! Thank you to the nurses on the Florence Nightingale ward for giving me comfort and looking after me so well during the most frightening time of my life.
