Northwick Park & St Marks Hospital

Hard to review these 2 hospitals, as they have good and bad points, so I’ll just do this based on my most recent experience and maybe update it next time.
My GP wanted me to get an x-​ray, and said I could either go up on my own to Northwick Park and go to the x-​ray department, or wait until the Northwick Park people went to my surgery, which is only once a week. So I decided it was best to get it out of the way and off I went.
Within an hour of seeing my GP, I was at Northwick Park, waiting for my x-​ray — but not for long. From the moment I checked in to when I left, having had the x-​rays? 14 minutes.
Can’t really complain about that! It’s 4 star instead of 5 as the walk from the tube is quite long (especially when you’re sick or hurting) and the snarl of traffic in the front made the wait for the bus quite long.

Heart breaking what my mother had to go thru for 3 months, she went in when she fell and broke her upper thigh bone, had surgery the surgeon Mr. Murphy left a screw sticking into her hip bone, physical therapy thought my mom had given up on life at 81 and did not want to help her. NEVER EVER saw the surgeon Mr. Murphy ever again, No apology from him, perhaps he feels he is too beyond us to talk and make a 81 year lady feel good bya simple apology but NOTHING :(
Doctors like him put the medical field to SHAM.
Please anyone who is scheduled to have surgery with Mr. Murphy RUN!!! and find another hospital and a another surgeon.
I would never ever want anyone to go through what my mom did under this so called «surgeon.»

3 stars for mixed experiences throughout my time here. Was sent to see a specialist out here.
Big place but easy enough to navigate.
Asked a nurse for directions once and was really friendly.
Got to the right place, was registered and told to sit in the waiting room for my appointment.
Got there a little early so as not to miss my 2pm appointment. Ended up waiting another HOUR til they called my name. What’s the point of an appointment time then? Such a tease.
Doctor was nice and helpful though.
Hopefully can just email and phone the doctor from now on. Do not want to have to travel all the way over here again.

I was transferred here due to the fact I was laughing hysterically at work! haha!
The waiting room has blue chairs, a TV that has no volume and one info TV with health adverts on it. They also have a vending machine and a hot drinks machine.
The staff, are behind windows, you see one of them and they tell you to go to the next window, you say the problem and then your told to wait until your name is been called out.
I went to use the ladies toilet which were clean expect the toilet floors were really sticky. Like gross!
I waited a for an hour, the nurse who saw me was friendly, took my blood pressure and everything was fine. She told me the crisis team (mental health service) is coming to see me, which they did a day later at my house.
The team were friendly, ask me a lot questions, and found that everything was fine. :))

I once cane here with a really really bad tummy ache… they sent me home. Apparently drinking a 4 pints of fizzy water can do that.
