Very poor overall. Visited here 3 times in the last decade. First time with very serious injuries - hurried in the shower while too weak to move. Placed on a bed covered in other patients blood. Sent home with missing clothes - nobody explained what happened. Nurses very rude when I asked them about this. After a couple of hours wait, sent home with pyjamas too small (fly had no button, I walked the streets outside for over an hour in order to find a taxi)

Second time: Wrong appointment time given. Wrong part of my body described in notes. Luckily after 2 hours wait the surgeon did manage to fit me in for an x-ray on my hand (not elbow!)

Third time: broken toe misdiagnosed (not x-rayed or scanned). Doctor took a stethoscope hearing over thick sweater not bare skin. Wrong blood tests ordered. Specialist refused to visit. I would not recommend this hospital, to the point I will refuse treatment here in future. No "friends & family test" given - they knew exactly how poor my care had been. St James is much better.
