"Overall a clean and efficiently run..."

About: King's College Hospital (Denmark Hill)

What I liked

Overall a clean and efficiently run hospital. However I was not impressed with the lack of communication regarding an MRI scan which was required, nor the aftercare of my torn meniscus (knee injury). I was given crutches and a cricket bat splint for my leg with no clue how long to wear it or whether it was imperative to the healing of my injury. I am still awaiting feedback about follow up care and have been left very confused and unsure where to ask.

What could be improved

Communication between patients and staff
