Hi all, I've been referred to Royal Free Hospital as my hospital are clearly hitting a brick wall. Has anyone had any experience with royal free. Is it easy to get to via the train??
It's going to be a long journey so I'm trying to prepare myself TIA x
Hello there,
I had my transplant at the Royal Free in March 2016.
I would be very happy to share with you my experience of the process from first appointment all the way to the follow up post transplant.
However, I will only be specific about a hospital in private messages as I don't really think its appropriate to talk about a hospital unit where I had treatment, in a public access forum.

Hello Jim, thank you for your reply. Yes please if you don't mind.
I'm no where near transplant stage but would love to know experiences of the hospital itself.

I would certainly recommend the Royal Free . It's a very good Hospital. Belsize Park is nearest underground on Northern Line. Then a short walk or a few bus stops away. Also if you are up to it I would take the opportunity to explore stunning Hampstead.
Thank you. I've never been to London nor on the tube for that matter. So it's alittle daunting. Xx
Yes, i understand, but Its very easy to get around London and use the tube; crowded usually, but easy to navigate. xx
Did u get referred to the royal free hospital as I don't feel I'm
Getting the right help from my hospital as my health is so complex
Hi Leanne yes I did. My local hospital hasn't got the expertise to understand my care.
I've been treated at The Royal Free since I was diagnosed. I write a blog about my experiences from then until today. My transplant failed due to a massive haemorrhage, and have somehow gone from 12 hours to live to still being well and active 8 months later. My blog can be found at 1liver1life.com. Wish you all the best.
I have been under the hepatology and haematology teams at the Royal Free Hospital for 12 years now. The care and support I have been given has been outstanding . Belsize Park is the nearest tube station and is very easy to get to . Best of luck to you .
You can get the London overground to the Royal Free at Hampstead. You need Hampstead Heath station. When you come out of the station turn left, past the Garden Gate & go down the hill & it's the big building in front of you it's about a 5 min walk M&S is on the corner
