When you get in there, everything is signed posted so easy to find. I thought the staff was nice and friendly. The only time I went in, I got dealt with very quick but was annoyed to find my friend had been informed of the details. So someone at the hospital had told her so watch out as confidentiality is not great there and they did not do anything about my complaint. They keep closing departments down in this hospital so might find sooner or later it closes for good, the nearest hospital after this is much better but of course 20 minutes further.

This hospital was once a private military hospital and stands on Queens land. It was renovated and…read morebuilt up about 7 years ago when it was opened by the Queen. It replaced the old delapidated Greenwich hospital and now serves a wider community encompassing Greenwich, Lewisham, Woolwich and even furthur afield. Like all hospitals it suffers from budget problems but the staff themselves I have always found to be friendly and knowledgeable. There's a free buggy service from 9.30am to 4pm which will take those less able to walk around the hospital for free. Parking is only free for disabled and there's not a lot of parking so it's better to go by public transport.

No one likes hospitals I don;t think howeve the A&E team were fabulous when I was there. Thank you all so much especially the nurse who got my presciption drugs for me as the pharmacy was closed.

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.

St Peter's Hospital, Chertsey is part of the Ashford & St Peter's hospital trust…read more St Peter's is a huge hospital covering the Chertsey, Woking, Weybridge and Staines areas. It's incredibly close to the M25 and as such see much RTA action in its A&E department. All of the major types of medical specialisms are dealt with here either on an in-patient or an out-patient basis. As well as being a general hospital St Peter's is known for some of its specialities in particular its neo-natal unit. This unit is not without controversy and the standard of maternity care was, for several years, classed as very poor. Having used these services I can say that pre-natal care is very good but post-natal care for the mother is poor. The neo-natal unit, however, maintains a strong reputation. The A&E department is always busy and thankfully is split into a regular department and a paediatric department making it a good place for children. Parking at the hospital can be a nightmare as there are never enough spaces. Allow at least 30 minutes before any appointment to get parked and, if possible, go with someone else so that if you don't get a space at least you can be dropped off! You have to pay for parking and season tickets are available. The Friends of St Peter's perform a very good service and staff in general are friendly and reasonably efficient. It's certainly no worse than the majority of NHS hospitals.

As a unit it is well kept, with carpets and friendly staff. The treatment I have received has generally been good, although the physiotherapy was not amazing and had to supplement it with private sports physiotherapy which was much more intensive. Similarly, the advice received from the doctor is good, although I believe I used to receive better from my last GP. In general, the service is good, and it is a lovely place with short ques, so recommended if you live in the area.

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.
