    Westmead Private Hospital - Such a fancy waiting area

    Every time we've visited, there's been a significant wait--often for several hours--either before…read moreor after treatment. This has typically been due to understaffing or, at times, what seems like a preference to keep patients waiting rather than risk procedural issues later on. During one visit, we observed morning shift nurses openly complaining and using unprofessional language over a minor scheduling change, which was surprising given the standards expected in a healthcare setting. Despite their frustrations, they appeared largely unoccupied afterward, spending extended time socializing while patients remained waiting. We also experienced delays with a doctor who arrived several hours late, and after briefly seeing us, we were left waiting even longer to be discharged--only to find out he had already clocked off without checking back. On another occasion, during a scan appointment, we were repeatedly forgotten and had to leave the room multiple times to remind staff we were still waiting. For a private healthcare provider, this level of service feels disappointing. Given the costs involved, you'd expect a more reliable and attentive experience. It does raise concerns about what the experience might be like in the public system.

    What can be said about hospitals that we don't already know? They're all over it with OHS, they're…read moreincredibly hygienic, there isn't a hand sanitiser pump empty and it's eerily quiet. Of course, it's hard to review a hospital that has for so long been a part of daily life for the last 3 years but here goes: first up, points taken away for having only one café on site - too bad if you're starving - you have the option of pre-packaged sandwich with ham, one with tomato and cheese and if you're lucky, a salad one. They have a selection of 4 day old sweets if that's your thing. Parking is fairly limited but here's a tip, enter from Darcy Road (not Mons) - you'll be exposed to at least another 20 parking spaces (oh you can also pay at the gate and the first 30mins is free). This being a private hospital, you don't have the mayhem of a public one so it's very calm and quiet. I must mention here, if it wasn't for the ICU staff and the incredible oncology staff, I would rate this hospital a 2 star max. I've always said, if you want private, opt as a private patient in a public hospital - this is certainly true for Westmead Private.
