I have - twice.

Once to report a cardiologist who was absolutely foul to me - the nurse called him a "shouty little man" and I agree! They were on to it within minutes - rang me back and organised for me never to see him again. The speed of their response made me think I was not the only victim.

I reported an A&E department for sending me home when I was having a heart attack! To be fair to them they held a detailed investigation which was sent to me - they altered their protocols and training around this and used my case as an example. So a worthwhile outcome.

I called the Patient Advice and Liaison Service at my local hospital and was answered by a real person within seconds. No press one or two, no holding on listening to dreadful music. They dealt with my problem quickly and efficiently and I was very impressed with the service that I received. Have you ever used the PALS service at your hospital and how did you find the experience?
