"A and E department"

About: Northwick Park Hospital

I’m absolutely disgusting at the way my son was treated in A and E today 29.9.2021. He was referred to urgent care by 111 for an appointment at 11.20 . Once he arrived there he went to the front of the 50 or 60 long queue for reception to say he had an appointment . Your repulsive disgusting rude woman at the desk told him that it was not an audition for a job nd he would have to go to the back of the line this was at 11.15 so there was no way he was going to make the 11.20 appointment. He was in agony and understandably angry at this horrible woman . He left the hospital nd went home and has now been phoned from his own GP who wants to see him urgently . I hope for your sake he is not having a heart attack . What has your system become ? You need to look at your front line receptionists attitude to the patients and have severe warnings given out to them

Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for your post regarding you and your son's recent visit to the Urgent Care Centre at Northwick Park Hospital.

This reads very similar to feedback already received regarding the nature of the visit and the way in which the receptionist spoke to you, and my apologies if this is regarding a different incident.

I will share you feedback with the team responsible for the Urgent Care Centre so that they are aware of the issue regarding information relayed by NHS 111 and also the way in which you were greeted by the receptionist.

I hope that your son has since received the appropriate treatment, and thank you again for taking the time to post about your experience.

Kind regards

Peter Hare

Patient Services Manager
