Address & description
Queen Elizabeth Hospital NHS Trust (QEH) was formed in March 2001 when services relocated to a new hospital in Woolwich in the London Borough of Greenwich. QEH was developed via the government's Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and is located on the site previously occupied by the Queen Elizabeth Military Hospital. The 500 bed hospital provides a range of acute hospital services mainly to the residents of Greenwich as well as to a natural catchment from our neighbouring borough of Bexley and, increasingly, from further afield.
The hospital is well located in the centre of the borough with excellent road transport and bus service links. A total of seven bus routes serve the hospital and also link the hospital to London and into Kent via rail services from Woolwich Arsenal and Woolwich Dockyard stations, and via the excellent Jubilee line underground service into London from North Greenwich station.
A full range of clinical services is provided at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, providing both emergency and elective (planned) care to patients. The majority of these are provided by staff employed by QEH; however some specialities, including ophthalmology, oral surgery and ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgery are provided on an outpatient basis only by staff from neighbouring trusts. QEH also provides some services, such as urology and dermatology, to other local trusts. The full list of services available at QEH is set out below.

Waiting times
How long am I likely to have to wait for my operation?
For this procedure, this graph shows the average time in days that patients waited for their first outpatient appointment and their subsequent admission to hospital.
When referred to hospital by their GP, a patient's first appointment will be as an outpatient.
The days between referral and attending a first outpatient appointment are known as an outpatient wait (the yellow block in the graph). Outpatient appointments give doctors the opportunity to examine the patient. If a doctor decides that surgery is necessary, they will recommend that the patient is given a date to attend hospital as an inpatient - they make a decision to admit.
The elapsed time (in days) between the date of the decision to admit and the patient's admission to hospital is called an inpatient wait (the blue block in the graph) The red line across the graph shows the average total wait (both outpatient and inpatient) for this operation in the NHS in England.
Compare your chosen hospital provider with the five nearest providers performing this procedure. Read more about this indicator.
The Department of Health measures waiting time using a different methodology, 18 Weeks.
Length of stay
How long can I expect to stay in hospital?
Length of stay is the number of days between a patient's admission to hospital and the time they are discharged.
The bar shows the average length of stay of all the patients that had this operation at this trust. The red line across the graph shows the English average length of stay for this operation.
Your length of stay in hospital will be determined by a number of factors including your age and general health.
Compare your chosen hospital provider with the five nearest providers performing this procedure. Read more about this indicator.
Readmission rate
What's the risk of me having to return to hospital urgently?
- Less than expected
- As expected
- More than expected
A readmission occurs when a patient is admitted to hospital as an emergency within one month of being sent home. While the factors involved can be varied and complex, readmission is widely accepted as an indicator of the quality of hospital care.
For a given operation, statistical models enable us to estimate the number of readmissions at a given NHS Trust. By dividing the number of observed readmissions by the actual number we create a ratio (shown on the graph with a coloured circle).
A confidence interval (the vertical blue box) allows us to measure the trust's performance in relation to a national standard. If the confidence interval straddles the red horizontal line on the graph (100), the Trust is in line with national performance - it is performing as expected. But where the confidence interval is wholly above or below the red horizontal line, the trust experienced significantly more or less readmissions than expected.

Infection control
Tackling MRSA and Clostridium Difficile (C. Difficile) is a major issue. The steps that hospitals take to contain these infections are known as Infection Control.
The incidence of these infections is measured with a rate. For MRSA, the number of cases of MRSA blood infection reported by the trust is counted per 100,000 bed days (a bed day is defined as one patient occupying a hospital bed for one night), for C. Difficile, the number of cases of C. Difficile infection reported by the trust, is counted per 100,000 bed days. Cases in patients less than two years of age are not reported. These figures include both emergency and elective patients (patients who planned their treatment in advance).
Compare your chosen hospital provider with the five nearest providers performing your chosen procedure by selecting an infection type below.

C. Difficile
Tackling MRSA and Clostridium Difficile (C. Difficile) is a major issue. The steps that hospitals take to contain these infections are known as Infection Control.
The incidence of these infections is measured with a rate. For C. Difficile it is the number of cases of C. Difficile infection reported per 100,000 bed days for cases apportioned to the trust; a bed day is defined as one patient occupying a hospital bed for one night. This figure includes both emergency and elective patients (patients who planned their treatment in advance).

Hospital Mortality Ratio
What is this trust's overall level of mortality?
- Less than expected
- As expected
- More than expected
For those diagnoses that account for the majority (80%) of deaths in hospital, the Hospital Standardised Mortality Ratio (HSMR) measures the number of patients dying at a trust compared with a national benchmark.
Statistical models enable us to estimate the number of deaths at a trust. By dividing the number of actual deaths by the expected number, our modelled number, we create a ratio (shown on the graph with a coloured circle). Our model accounts for factors that can affect mortality but are beyond the control of the trust, for example, a patient's age.
Control limits (the vertical blue box) measure a trust's performance in relation to a national standard. If the ratio is within the vertical blue box it is consistent with national performance the trust is performing as expected. A ratio outside the blue box is inconsistent with national performance.
We used data from the last financial year for the one year HSMR; the three year HSMR is calculated with data from the last three financial years. HSMR trend shows the HSMR for each of the last seven financial years, benchmarked against the 2002/03 model. Compare your chosen hospital provider with the five nearest providers performing this procedure. Read more about this indicator.
HSMR (3 year)
Control limits (the vertical blue box) measure a trust's performance in relation to a national standard. If the ratio is within the vertical blue box it is consistent with national performance - the trust is performing as expected. A ratio outside the blue box is inconsistent with national performance.
The three year HSMR is calculated with data from the last three financial years (2007/08, 2008/09, 2009/10). This wider pool of data, three years, gives a broader picture of a trust's performance over time.
