Original Feedback for The Queen Elizabeth Hospital:

Lack of communication

My experience was a couple of years ago. I found that there was a lack of communication at the hospital when my son was in intensive care and needed surgery. A&E were very good and picked up his internal injuries and physio were brilliant. However, the consultant had him on a drip and told him to keep still but then the Orthopaedic team tried to get him out of bed - so it's the teams not communicating. A&E then said his arm was broken and put a cast on. Then they said it wasn't broken so took the cast off. Then they put the cast back on and they tried putting it on the wrong arm. I told them what was wrong but didn't want to make a complaint at the time. The hospital also said he didn't need surgery, but when I took him to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital they said he did need surgery. All the physios at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital were good but the care at Addenbrookes and Norwich was much better.
