Motorcyclist hospitalised after van smash (From Sutton Guardian)

Before anyone comments that he was taken to St George's rather than St Helier. Be aware that it was serious enough for a Doctor to travel with him, so the Trauma Centre at St George's was the best place.

The St. George's Trauma Centre is there because these mysterious "NHS Bosses" put it there. I bet the patient would rather have gone to a St. Helier Trauma Centre and the helicopter doctor could have been back on board his whirlybird sooner for the next patient.

What a week it's been. I went shopping, had my feet fixed and had a dinner out which made me supermarketized, podiatrized and lunchclubized.

I would never want to go to st heliers that place is disgusting compared to st georges,id feel a whole lot better knowing i am being looked after by competent staff,st heliers is a hell hole,staff are useless & hospital filthy,im speaking from experience.
my family know to never ever send me to that hospital,id rather die.

Michael Pantlin - The St Georges Trauma Centre is there, as St G's is a Teaching Hospital and therefore has all the advanced tecnology and more advanced staff there. Its not there because some NHS boss 'put it there' as you say. Having had first hand experience of St G's trauma unit it is the best, and yes you can get there in under 10 minutes in an ambulance! I took 8 infact after my serious accident in sutton and that was in rush hour.Theres a service called HEMS, this is used if the case is very serious and an ambulance will take took long. HEMS attended my accident and instructed the ambulance to take me to St G's as 'St Helier wouldn't of been able to cope' and thats coming from a Dr!. I have family in Australia, they have to travel up to 3 hours to get to hospital, and your moaning as you may have the inconvenience of having to drive somewhere rather than having it on your door step. Ambulances and HEMS are there for serious cases, so as to get you there fast. So before you go accusing bosses of plotting against St Helier do your research. I wonder if you have actually looked at the services that your local doctors surgery provides, they do infact deal with minor treatment, so you dont waste A&E doctors time and allow them to deal with real emergencies, as opposed to your sore toe.
