"failed services"

About: Priory Hospital

I was due to go in for surgery on 7/4/2018 and upon arrival l was told my surgery had been cancelled at last minute due to not having a MRSA staff.

I was so annoyed and disappointed to find that not only this is a private care hospital it failed to carry out their own pr-operative assessment which allows the nurses to call you in for the test.

l had received several calls and even a telephone appointment to carry out the pre-op assessment which l completed,

I even got a call 2 days prior to the surgery going through the checks again and further 2 calls before the day and hadn't been told.

The services had failed their duty of care and l was sent home by a theatre nurse saying that the surgeon will NOT do the surgery.

Appauling service, l had arranged time off work for recovery and my daughter lives away from home had also come to care for me.

I have now got to wait until the next time the surgeon can do the surgery not knowing it it is weeks.

We're very sorry to hear your operation had to be cancelled due to no MRSA screening. If you would like to discuss this matter further we would be more than happy to help. Please feel free to contact Elaine Collins on elaine.collins@bmihealthcare.co.uk and she will liaise with the departments involved.

Kind regards,

BMI Priory Hospital
