Acceleratecic Anmeldelser 

Third visit to Accelerate this time seen by a nurse called Sue. The usual very high level of service I have come to expect now. I actually look forward to coming here it's like you would imagine a paid private service would be.

I saw Natalie today, she absolutely knows her subject inside out. She gave me lots of helpful tools and ideas to decrease my pain levels and make life easier. She really set me at ease and made me feel like a person, not just a number. She showed empathy and understanding, which really made me feel heard, especially since I am having such a tough time with my condition. I would 100% recommend both the accelerate and Natalie.
Thank you

Anna Swinburn was amazing. She was knowledgeable, understanding and very helpful. I came out of the appointment feeling hopeful. Thank you Anna.

I booked a private appointment for a lipoedema diagnosis as my GP wouldn't refer me. The appointment was amazing. For the first time I felt listened to and acknowledged. I saw Rhodri who went through my medical history and why I thought I have lipoedema. He examined me, confirmed that I have lipoedmea as well as secondary lymphedema. He then discussed conservative measures and measured me precisely for leg compression garments. He explained that a report would be sent to my GP recommending referral to a local lymphedema clinic and asking the GP to do a prescription for the compression garments that would be fulfilled by Patient Choice. A doppler test was also undertaken. The report was written and a copy e-mailed to me the next day (very impressive). The cost was £250, but for a 90 minute appointment - cheaper than other alternative and for an appointment 3 times as long and I was measured for compression. I could not recommend highly enough. Worth every penny.

Very knowledgeable staff and everything about tests faultless

Professionalism throughput from the front reception team, to the nurse and the assistant serving in the food area. Very pleasant experience. Well done.

I had a really great experience with Anna. She made me feel very seen and heard I left feeling very good about the my diagnosis and really spent time uplifting me. The staff on reception are also very lovely too.

I arrived a few minutes late but was not made to feel guilty about it. Natalie was the person that I was with. She was friendly, approachable and immediately put me at ease. She was extremely knowledgeable and gave me lots of tips and basic information that I just had not thought of. She explained in depth about the type of footwear that was best for me, and why it was best for me. An absolutely thought provoking and positive experience. I feel like I got so much from this one visit, and have adopted the suggestions that Natalie advised. A really positive experience. I would highly recommend this place. Not only thanks to Natalie but to the lovely receptionist near the entrance.

I saw Anna a week ago and she was incredibly knowledgeable and professional in my diagnosis. She was patient, kind and spent a lot of time answering my questions. I would highly recommend Accelerate and Anna, it was a huge relief to be diagnosed and feel validated.

Had an appointment with Mel today at the Lymphoedema clinic at st Joseph’s hospice and Mel was kind very informative gave me lots of good advice and encouragement I left feeling relieved, heard and that she was putting into place lots for me to recover going forward, would really recommend the service and especially Mel who really put my mind at ease that with the support I can really maintain and keep control of my condition, I look forward to seeing Mel in another 6 months and hopefully she will be please with my progress

All staff were most lovely here and helpful. Thank you for listening and taking the time to understand my heath condition. Mel was fantastic A*

I really appreciate the great service you offered in the community .One day shadowing with lymphoedema nurses such a warm environment that embodies the core values of safe space. Grateful to work with your team today and thank you for the patients who allowed me to join in the assessment and review. I learned a lot and i will ensure i will share the courses you’ve shared and learnt today.

The entire team is wonderful! Codi (I hope I’m correct with the spelling) you are a star! I appreciate you all. Tremendous thanks!

I wasn’t that keen on having a foot check and nearly skipped it. After a really bad bout of gout last year though, and coming up to 64, I realised I needed to take better care of my feet.
The team at Accelerate Footchecks were friendly and put me at ease straight away. Natalie was very gentle and thorough, and everything was explained clearly so it all felt relaxed. I walked out feeling noticeably more comfortable and reassured. Glad I went and I’d recommend it to anyone who’s been putting it off like I was.
Thanks to Natalie and the team for making it such a positive experience. I will be back!

I was given excellent care and advice. I was given a thorough assessment and recommended podiatry footwear, plus provided with comfortable insoles which are helping. The podiatry care is excellent and I would highly recommend to others. Fran is amazing

The appointment is very focused and corresponds to the patient and their life, as well as the medical condition. Twice I have seen Stephanie....all nurses are excellent
I also appreciate the supply of compression stockings and easy wrap

Julie at st Joseph’s was very thorough and explained everything in detail and was very pleasant thankyou

Was seen by a lady called Stephanie she was amazing took her time to talk to me Stephanie listened about my concerns and gave very good advice..
Thank you Stephanie

​"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire team at Accelerate in Hackney. Dealing with Lymphedema can be overwhelming, but their specialized knowledge and 'accelerated' treatment approach have made a measurable difference in my quality of life. The clinicians are incredibly thorough with their measurements and CDT (Complete Decongestive Therapy). For the first time, I feel like I have a clear roadmap for managing my condition rather than just reacting to it. Truly, this is a center of excellence.
​Before I found Accelerate, I felt completely paralyzed. My legs were constantly hurting and bleeding; my wife had to put plasters on them every two hours. It was exhausting and frustrating, and I had almost given up hope. Thankfully, my GP referred me to this clinic, and it was like a miracle.
​Once they started the treatment, everything changed hugely. First, my wounds healed, then the swelling went down. When I finally put my compression stockings on, it felt like a new day and a new life. My legs are back to normal! Now, when my wife and I see someone on the street suffering like I was, we stop and show them my 'before' pictures. We tell them, 'You must go to this place or ask your GP to refer you so you can walk again.' It is a shame that so many people haven't heard of this 'paradise.'
​I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please keep doing what you do. You have no idea how much of a blessing you are or how your work brings back life and mobility to people like me. God bless you all."

You are fantastic. Thank you.
