"Dreadful avoid if possible"

About: Charing Cross Hospital / Accident and emergency

Ridiculously long waiting time. My husband was admitted by ambulance with a suspected stroke. Taken straight for a CT scan then brought back to A&E and left unattended for almost 4 hours.No observations done at all in that time.I had to keep asking when someone would come to check on him. I appreciate they were busy but thought that he should have been monitored closely if they suspected a stroke (F.A.S.T) .

Was eventually given aspirin after 4 hours and moved to a ward after nearly 12 hours in A& E.

Not acceptable for stroke patients.

Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry that you have had cause to write to the Trust.

Could you please provide me by email your husband’s full name and date of birth so that I can take this matter forward with the service for you.

My email address is chris.henry1@nhs.net

Kind Regards

Chris
