langlounge Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 From NHS Managers Net, some useful advice (as kindly pointed out, CQC stands for Care Quality Commission): Should you be taken ill, I recommend having pinned to your waistcoat a twenty pound note and a list. This list should be compiled of hospitals you do not wish to be conveyed to and the twenty pound note should be enough for a taxi to take you to where you do want to be looked after. Take my advice, always use a licensed taxi and use this list of hospitals you should avoid: Scarborough Hospital; Milton Keynes Hospital; Royal Cornwall Hospital; Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust in Liverpool; Queen's Hospital, Romford; Stamford & Rutland Hospital; Southampton General Hospital; Croydon University Hospital; Bodmin Hospital, Cornwall; Northampton General Hospital; St Peter's Hospital, Maldon; Queen Mary's Hospital, London; Chase Farm Hospital, London; Westmorland General Hospital; Pilgrim Hospital, Leicestershire; St Anne's House, East Sussex; and Princess Royal Hospital, West Sussex. Should you be having a baby; don't be delivered to, or at, Queen's Hospital in Romford, Essex and if a mental health issue befalls you dodge going to Ainslie and Highams Inpatient Facility, London; The Campbell Centre, Bedford; Forston Clinic, Dorset; The Cavell Centre, Peterborough; The Bradgate Mental Health Unit, Leicestershire; Avon and Wiltshire NHS Mental Health Trust; Blackberry Hill Hospital, Bristol; and Park House, Manchester. If dementia knocks on your door don' t go into Milton Keynes. How can I give this advice? These services have been found wanting; not that the CQC made it public. The Labour opposition team forced them into fessing-up using FoI procedures. As recently as November the CQC has been telling these Trusts, incomprehensibly, it seems, in secret, that in parts of their services staffing levels are dangerous.

Otta Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I don't think ?20 would get me to many of those anyway. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/28010-hospitals-to-avoid-posted-in-wrong-place-apologies/#findComment-607114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Max Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 There's no way I'm pinning anything to my waistcoat. It would ruin the leather fringing.

LondonMix Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 How can you tell people to always take a taxi. In certain emergencies, it certainly will be much more important that paramedics come to the scene and start treatment en route in a blue light ambulance.

Huggers Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 in which case you can use the twenty quid to bribe them to take you to a different one.

*Bob* Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Even in a licensed London minicab.. sounds a like a recipe for waking-up ?20 down, with a stolen waistcoat and a sore bottom.
