OK, so i understand that if anything happens to you that requires a hospital trip, you are probably…read morenot going to think, "humm, which one to I want to go to?", but still, I want to give Teddington hospital props because they pretty much saved my life a few years ago. First of all, and importantly, this is NOT an A+E ward. If your injuries are really serious don't go here. This is a walk in centre for minor injuries, burns and illnesses. emergency contraception and x-rays. You don't need an appointment to come here. Which is good for me because a couple of years ago I was going about my daily business, had just had a yummy tuna sandwich for lunch, and all of a sudden had a red rash all over my body. I was taken to Teddington hospital, where there were no queues and seen immediately. The nurse took one look at me and asked if I had eaten tuna for lunch. I said I had and she quickly diagnosed it as eating fish that has botulism which can shut down the major organs of your body within a couple of hours. An hour later, a stint under an oxygen mask and dosed up to the eyeballs with antihistamines I was free to go. Had I not been seen to so quickly, something much worse could have happened, but thanks to the nurse I am sitting here happily with a cup of tea (and no more tuna sandwiches).

Teddington Hospital is not an A&E hospital, and you are unlikely to be visiting relatives here…read more Instead, this is a minor injuries walk in unit (though obviously, some can't walk in, as they've injured their feet). This place has become, however, so much more. Since it has become increasingly difficult to get an appointment at local doctor's surgeries, it has become a bit of an emergency surgery - where people go when they have an ailment or injury and are finding it impossible to see their own GP. Especially on weekends, there can be quite a long wait - over 3 hours sometimes. You'll be seen by a triage nurse first, then a 'normal' nurse, and, depending on the injury or ailment, you may well be treated by the nurse, or you may be asked to wait to see a doctor. For the most part, I have found the care there to be friendly yet professional and efficient. I have never visited there for my own problems. but I have taken my daughter there a couple of times, and my husband has also visited a few times - most recently for cellulitus. There is an onsite pharmacy, and a small (very small) and bumpy car park. The building is quite an old and imposing one, and there is a memorial at the front for our war dead. I do hope this hospital survives rounds of NHS cuts. It provides an invaluable service to the local 'walking wounded', thus sparing the two local A&E hospitals (West Middlesex and Kingston) some less serious conditions.

There are many things I don't like and hospitals are one of them. The long chalky corridors,…read morefluorescent lighting and the odour of chemicals makes me feel like I'm in a sort of horror movie based in a laboratory... Not to mention the long and ever so boring waits. Kill me already! In this case, I felt differently. From the moment I booked an appointment with my GP to my first pre assessment surgery and following up to my surgery and recovery, I found the process to be very quick and efficient. The staff are as nice as could be in a hospital (or at least, in front of the patients until they talk badly about them in the coffee room). The follow up from visits is quicker than they usually anticipate. For example, I was told it may take 4 weeks until I get my surgery done but next thing I know, I'm back in 2 weeks after. If they are trying to set expectations low, they are doing it very well! There is a cafeteria area on the ground floor -with outdoor sitting area- and a restaurant not too far a walk from it. If you're hesitant about hospital coffee, don't worry there's a Costa Coffee. They also have a WHSmith right by the entrance which is well needed to buy books, drinks and snacks. No more boring waits! Speaking of waiting, I personally didn't wait as much as I have done in other hospitals. There is a self check in machine by the entrance and once I arrived at the floor, my name was called out before I could take a seat. Before the operation, I had two sets of Doctors come see me to talk me through anything and assist with any queries or concerns I had. They were very clear about things they would and wouldn't during the operations which may affect one. Despite being a very busy hospital, they seemed to be organised and aware of patients. The only downfall was that there weren't enough beds to accommodate all patients. I also had a phase of bleeding and discomfort and it took a while for the doctor(s) to arrive and check on me. I do appreciate its busy but at the end of the day, something else could have happened. Overall, it's the best hospital I've been to so far and can't fault them for anything. Thank you WMX hospital!
