Lots of lovely feedback about Lindo wing - what about Queen Charlotte's?

[bracingair]

A few of my friends have been to the Lindo Wing and recommend it and I have a few lead for obs - i am thinking of Mr Miskry.

Just wondering, I haven't really heard of anyone using the private wing at Queen Chalotttes, and would love some feeback and consultatns recommended.

Thanks!

Bumping for you as this will soon drop out of unanswered.

I'm not a private patient at QC as I am high risk and would be getting the same care even if I went private.

The private ward in QC is Stanley Clayton - costs around £400 a night for a room. I was in a single room on the NHS side last year for 3 weeks due to medical need - they cost about £200 a night but I got it free. The room was fine and clean with en-suite bathroom. The only difference to the rooms on the private side is that they have a fridge & tv. I believe there is a separate menu to the NHS side which is a good thing as the NHS food is not the best - think it's made in Hammersmith Hospital and then brought over and re-heated in microwaves in QC - not sure if the same happens on the private side.

As regards consultants, there are quite a few to recommend including Mr Kumar, Mr Wimalasundera and Mr McCarthy - think at least 2 of them have private practices outside of QC. Although I'm not a private patient, can't recommend it enough. Cx

Would second all that Carrie says, I too was a high risk NHS patient at QCCH at the tail end of 2005.

Have you considered the Kensington Wing at C&W - you'll find lots of recomendations on here if you do a search.
Happy to give you more info if you want.

I did not have a happy time at QC, but I was in the minority - others think it's fabulous - I was probably just unlucky. DS was born at the Portland - which was bliss.

thank you for your replies! I decided to stick with Lindo wing, just debating the consultants, but that is another thread!
