I had the opportunity to observe staff at work at Purley 1 ward & I was impressed by their dedication & care for their patients especially the Sister who worked well beyond duty hours.

Review titled Great team at Breast Surgery
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Alba Cabral - Posted on 11 June 2024
I have had a very good experience with all the professionals involved at the Breast Surgery department. I had to go through a mastectomy with a breast reconstruction at Croydon Hospital. All the staff at the-pre assessment and pos-surgery were very friendly, assuring, caring, helpful and confident. Every single person I met on that day was very important to make me feel at ease with such a massive experience I had never dreamt of going through. Not only my Breast surgeon was high-skilled and supportive all way through but all the other members providing care on that day. The nurses at the ward during the day were also very friendly. The nurses of the night shift were a bit less engaging but they all met my needs. I'm very thankful for the whole experience and very pleased that the CUH was able to provide it within NHS system.

Review titled Superb treatment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 April 2024
I was taken to a&e by ambulance having passed out after an evening out. I was sober, but unable to stand or indeed move much without help. I had excellent treatment from the ambulance crew and later at a&e. I underwent several tests, including ecg and an xray. The care I received was superb, so kind and helpful. I can't really thank them enough.

Review titled Avoid this place if you can
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Nethelli - Posted on 15 April 2024
Abysmal is an understatement. I have had the misfortune of being under the Gastro team at this hospital for about 2 years. It took well over a year to get an appointment, then the doctor was incredibly rude. The service since has been appalling. They could not care less. I would suggest going absolutely anywhere but here as you will not be looked after in the slightest. Avoid like the plague!!!!!!!!

Review titled Antanental triage waiting hours and no doctors available
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Kar - Posted on 26 April 2024
I gave a birth 3 weeks ago and since then had a big pain above my wound. I had ultrascan today at 3pm and was told that there is fluid above my wound and should speak with antanental team what to do. I went to antanental department and waited there 5h with my 3 week old baby. No doctor has seen me. No one was even able to give me any approximate time. I kept asking for an update every hour but the midwifes said no doctors have been available for all this time. After 5h one doctor came to tell me she will start seeing people but not in the order they came but risk order which means I am not at risk and there are several women to be seen before me who came hours after me. I appreciate that other people nay have worse conditions but at least at A&E you have some sort of order and can manage your expectations, whereas at triage no one cares and you have no idea if you need to wait 1h, 5h or 10h. Aftee 5h I just gave up and left and haven't received any help or advice. 5h waiting for nothing. Zero empathy.

Review titled Poor practice
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 March 2024
I had an appointment scheduled today at 7:30am for tooth extraction in the Elective Surgery department at the University hospital in Croydon. I waited 3 hours for the surgeon to turn up to do the surgery. He did not arrive to do my surgery. None of the other medical professionals in the department knew how to contact him. The whole experience was outrageous and disappointing.

Review titled Unreliable, uncaring maternity
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Tyler Beattie-Soper - Posted on 11 March 2024
Appointments continually being changed last minute, scan deadlines set for incorrect dates then swapped for an even more incorrect date. My wife will now miss her 20-week scan as the midwife originally booked it for the 23rd week, then changed it to the 24th and then two days out was told that it has to be moved to the 28th week - at which point many of the anomalies which it's for will no longer be able to be spotted. Just an awful hospital with no care for the patients and stress and anxiety repeated failures can cause. Consultant refused to take the call and instead told the receptionist to tell us to go away.
