One time I waited until gone 5:30, four and a half hours in a hot sticky waiting room, listening to the nurse talk loudly about every poor patients condition, only to be seen by a doctor that literally had such bad English she called in another nurse to help her understand what I was saying. Forty minutes for a straightforward prescription, not in a busy period I hasten to add. And. All of this after most the time spending 30+ minutes driving around to park in the car park getting stressed you'll miss an appointment, to pay a fortune to park. The only reason it isn't a 1* is because I think the NHS is a great institution.

It was the summer so I would spend my time sitting both in and outside. The surroundings are very modern and generally nice for a hospital. The car park costs 4.00 for the day, however I recommend parking along the main road just past the hospital coming from Barnet as there is free parking along that road. A short walk and you have saved yourself 4.00! There are two places to eat and drink in the hospital - a coffee shop open during the day and the canteen open till late. I found the cafe latte in the coffee shop to be weak and poor value for money. The canteen is cheaper but typical canteen food. The place itself is modern and for someone like me who hates hospitals I found it helped ease my mind.

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.

Free car parking, though it sometimes takes 15 minutes to actually find a free spot that isn't staff reserved parking. Four places to eat and drink for visitors, that I've found - Broccles, Spice Of Life (in the same building on the entrance road), the Friends Centre (near Outpatients) and Cafe Tazza (inside Outpatients). None spectacular, but all offer reasonable food and drink. Outpatient staff were very friendly and helpful, and considerate. Nursing staff very considerate and, with the small experience that we've had of physio, skilled. Good accessibility, as you'd expect. Take care when driving around, as there are quite a few wheelchairs zipping around (well, zipping down the hills and labouring up them).

This hospital was once a private military hospital and stands on Queens land. It was renovated and…read morebuilt up about 7 years ago when it was opened by the Queen. It replaced the old delapidated Greenwich hospital and now serves a wider community encompassing Greenwich, Lewisham, Woolwich and even furthur afield. Like all hospitals it suffers from budget problems but the staff themselves I have always found to be friendly and knowledgeable. There's a free buggy service from 9.30am to 4pm which will take those less able to walk around the hospital for free. Parking is only free for disabled and there's not a lot of parking so it's better to go by public transport.

No one likes hospitals I don;t think howeve the A&E team were fabulous when I was there. Thank you all so much especially the nurse who got my presciption drugs for me as the pharmacy was closed.

Also, whilst the GP practice is NHS the dentists is subsidised private. Fortunately my dealings with both aspects of the centres has been fairly limited. Still, whenever I have been to see the doctor they have all had a wonderful manner. The receptionists are less pleasant, though this seems to generally be the case with doctor's. Who knows, perhaps they are supposed to act as some sort of gauntlet. The receptionists at the dentists on the other hand are lovely, as is the dentist himself. Whilst, having having your mouth prodded with sticks and things is never going to be a blast, as dentists go this place is pretty good. In so far as one can choose ones medical care this place deserves choosing.

I'm not going to comment about individual services - with the NHS it can be entirely down to who you are due to see, about what and when. So, instead I'll concentrate on the facilities available and access: The hospital is served by at least 5 buses, but only the 261 and R1 actually enter the grounds. Most ward visiting hours tend to be 2-4pm and 6-8pm, though the nursing staff are pretty flexible if you give 'em advance warning. Visitors are pretty well catered for: there is a coffee bar and restaurant open during daytime hours, a newsagent which stays open longer and various vending machines. Tip: Finding a parking space at peak times is enough to give you a coronary however (as do the charges), so I recommend using the Sainsbury's car park next door. The hospital is pretty quick to get to from most places, as it is on the A21.

Poor service. I…read morewent to the urgent care centre and was very disappointed with the service I'm 17th weeks pregnant and was experiencing a lot of pain and feeling generally unwell. I was also worried about my unborn child. The dr that I saw was so pantronising. And spoke down to me as thou I had wasted her time, and was suggested that my pain was just due to growing pains! Please I dont choose to want to sit for two hours on my only day off to be told this. It turned out that I had uti. I asked the dr if she could check the baby's heartbeat as I was concerned she advised that they didn't offer this service due to patient misuse (which she was directing at me)!!! I have worked for the NHS for 18 years. And have never been so disappointed with the service.

What was, I think, several separate towers, have been joined by a lofty atrium. There's now seating areas on the ground floor where you can sit in peace. Up above you can see bridges crossing the space on each floor. It's futuristic and wonderfully calm. I believe they hold free concerts in there too. I come into the hospital from London Bridge. One thing to note is that the entrance that way (via a pedestrian walkway from the station: ask station staff to direct you), is actually on the second floor. If you don't remember that on your way out and head down to the ground floor it makes it just a little confusing!
