	The Royal Free hospital scandal - Brian Deer investigates
		Royal Free hospital child investigations "weren't authorised by ethics committee"
		In February 2004, research by Dr Andrew Wakefield and other doctors at the 1000-bed Royal Free hospital, Hampstead, north London (pictured above), purporting to show a link between the MMR vaccine and autism in children, was exposed as a sham.
		But overlooked in a media storm that greeted the revelations was the care, or possibly lack of it, accorded to first 30, then at least 170, autistic children who were used in the research.

		Royal Free Hospital uses SMS text messaging for confidential appointments
		The Royal Free Hospital in north west London has started using SMS text messaging to allow patients to quickly and anonymously arrange appointments at their Sexual Health Clinic.
		Under new Government legislation, these clinics are required to offer patients an appointment within 48 hours, but understandably many patients did not want to visit or phone the centre during office hours, and were often held in a call queuing system if when they tried to phone.

	Royal Free Epidemic of 1955 - was it really hysteria?
		The mass hysteria hypothesis of the Royal Free Hospital epidemic, which was widely accepted, is mainly based on the work of two psychiatrists, McEvedy and Beard, who reassessed the available information on the outbreak and concluded that it could be regarded as an instance of epidemic hysteria (McEvedy and Beard, 1970a, 1970b, 1973).
		Like the outbreak at the Royal Free Hospital, this epidemic followed a number of cases in the general population living in the vicinity, and the reason for the increased virulence of the infecting organism was probably the semi-isolated nature of the hospital community and the close physical contact between the members of staff.

		A major problem we experience at the Royal Free is recruiting and retaining many types of staff.
		Health service rates of pay prevent most Royal Free staff from living locally and so commuting is the norm.
		About 90% of the hospital is air-conditioned and we're getting that at virtually no cost, using waste energy from the gas turbine to cool the building.

		However, recent work at the Royal Free Hospital in London has shown that patients with CVID do have protective immunity to some common viruses and therefore vaccination might be useful.
		The Royal Free Hospital will test whether patients with PID can respond to flu vaccination so that scientifically based advice on vaccination can be given when and if a new flu epidemic occurs.

		IMO the Royal Free has made strenous efforts to improve its maternity services -the birth centre is testament to that.
		I had DD at the Royal Free, Whittington seemed very grubby to me. The professional staff were absolutely brilliant, but I had some appalling experiences with SOME of the midwives.
		I'm having mine at the Royal Free and they definately tell you what you're having (that was one of the main reasons i choose Royal Free over Whittington and crappy North Mid) well at least what they think but not 100% guarantee.
