Here are a few comments from patients who have been treated at Moorfields at St Ann’s.
Coming to St Ann’s was a breath of fresh air.
Every one was on point.
The consultants and nursing staff were extremely efficient and caring. I was very nervous and the whole team helped me to overcome that. I was very impressed.
Regarding the very good service provided by your team members. I would like to add, that their explanations to my questions, were very clear and good that I understood easily.
The staff were efficient and knowledgeable and the problem was completely resolved.
The nurse, Rosa, and the doctor were very kind and the people in the reception they're all friendly
The service was efficient and staff very professional and patient centred.
I found the staff at Moorfields are help and caring I was seen on time I cannot think of any improvement on the service that I received thank you
A delightful nurse looked after me with such kindness (despite being 30 minutes late after going to the wrong hospital). The ophthalmologist I saw was highly personable and was happy to answer my questions. This was a busy department, but I had better care at this appointment than I have experienced over 18 months in some other clinics.
Outpatient waiting list
From 1 September 2024 we are making changes to how we manage our follow-up appointment process.
For more information about these changes and what they mean for you visit our post appointment page. If you have any further questions, please do contact us using the contact information provided.
Follow-up appointment frequently asked questions
Why have you made these changes to follow up outpatient appointments?
To improve your experience as a patient, we have made the process of booking your next outpatient appointment more efficient. The new process will reduce the number of cancellations made, ensuring patients are seen when they need to be.
Instead of booking your next appointment when you are in clinic, you will be sent a date to attend your follow up closer to the time you are due in. This appointment will be booked by the team managing your care and will be approximately six weeks ahead of when we are due to see you.
For example, if you are scheduled to see us for a follow-up in six months’ time, we’d send your appointment details approximately four to six weeks ahead. Those patients who need to be seen sooner will still be provided with an appointment time before they leave clinic.
Do I need to contact my clinic?
Please be assured, you will receive your appointment date from us. If you need to update your details or communication preferences, patients at City Road can email moorfields.outpatientbookingsbc@nhs.net.
For patients at other Moorfields sites, please contact your clinic.
What if I can’t make the appointment date you give me?
If you are unable to attend the follow up date provided, contact us to arrange a date that is more suitable.
What if I am worried about my sight/eye health in between appointments and feel I need to be seen sooner?
If you feel you need to be seen before your next scheduled appointment, please contact us as soon as possible.
The clinician in charge of your care will, if required, arrange for you to be seen sooner, or they may give you advice on how to manage your condition in the time between your appointments, for example.
If you have serious concerns about your eye health, or if you experience sudden sight loss, it’s important that you let us know straight away. You can use our A&E service at City Road or log on to our online A&E platform, where you will be able to speak to a doctor.
If you do not live close to London, or cannot access our online A&E service, please go straight to your nearest eye care unit.
What support can I get from Moorfields to help manage my eye condition in between appointments?
Continue to follow the healthcare advice given to you by your team. If you are required to administer eye drops to keep your condition stable, please do so. If you need any further support, you can speak to one of our nurses via the nurse-led helpline on 0207 566 2345.
If you experience sudden sight loss, or eye injury, please attend your nearest eye care unit or log on to our online A&E service.
Who can I speak to about how my appointments are managed?
