About: St George's Hospital (Tooting) (London)

(as the patient),

What I liked

A wide range of wards. Fairly easy to find where you need to get to

What could be improved

everything. The consultants seem only to be interested in getting you off their books even if the treatment hasn't worked or even completed. Different departments even in the same area ie Pre natal do not talk to each other. so many time we were passed from a midwife in one room up stairs, down stairs, everywhere.

In physio you are only ever with one for 5 weeks max, meaning every 5 weeks th excersizes changed, an hour of assesment was wasted etc. we had to make a formal complaint to be seen by the head physio just to maintain treatment
