West Middlesex University Hospital:
“The triage nurse bit and the overall organisation is dreadful. There is no confidentiality when you speak to them and then there is people queuing all over the place.”
“I use the outpatient services at the hospital. They are very good, kind and caring. The waiting time for a referral to the service wasn’t too long, it was about 2 weeks. The waiting time is definitely not too long. They explain the treatment I’m getting well. They are always polite, considerate of what I think and how I feel about the treatment.”
