Nurse Una in gynae ward and theatre nurse Siobhan, looked after me so so well under very difficult circumstances. Both nurses have the most wonderful bedside manner. Dr O’ Donnell, a real gentleman, and gave us hope in very sad circumstances.

ED doctor who treated me was fist class. She explained in a clear and honest manner to keep me calm and made me feel confident in her ability. All staff in the ED were rushed off their feet and I do not know how they can continue.

Dr John Slevin was outstanding. We received antenatal care second to none and he delivered our baby safely into this world. We are so so fortunate to have such an excellent consultant in the Mid West. He was so kind to us and a genius in his field. I had to have a section, it was definitely the safest mode of delivery for our baby given my medical history. The anaesthetist was brilliant, he reassured us throughout the procedure and no problems getting the spinal in. He was calm and again excellent in his field. The midwives in theatre were fantastic. They ensured once baby check was completed we got to kiss and cuddle our baby and they were a great help with skin to skin and got us started on our breastfeeding journey. Everyone was so kind, so helpful and genuinely there to help us and make our special time extra special. The porters, kitchen staff, security - all had a kind word to say. On the post natal ward we received excellent care even though the place was so busy. The midwives and health assistants were just so good to us. Helen the lactation was great support and so knowledgeable in her field. We will be forever grateful to the staff at UMHL for caring for us. These people do an amazing job.

Dr Ger Hosny, Nurse Orla Lenihan and all the staff of MAU, all were 100%. Drs Thomas Gumbrielle, Peter Walsh, Prof. Ross Morgan and Justine Cahill were all so professional in a very caring and sincere manner.

Sonja, she was the midwife who stayed with me all day of delivery. I started active labour around 4am and didn’t give birth until 8pm. She was amazing throughout the day and very helpful and understanding. She was finishing her shift as I was about to deliver and she stayed a bit longer to be there for the baby's actual delivery. She’s been amazing and I can’t praise her enough.

Our midwife Debbie was amazing. Couldn't recommend her enough.

The first midwife Rebecca was so nice and helped calm me down. Emma (Australian) who delivered our wee boy was amazing. Seriously, love her! Midwife on the ward Colette, she is so kind and caring. She looked after me on my first born and then on my second. She really did go above and beyond.

Nuclear medicine, Catherine and Laura made me very welcome.

The nurses in the Emergency Department, specifically Emma, Orla, Aideen, Emma F and Rahul. The CNMs Maggie, Sarah and Denise, and ED doctor Ali. The admitting medical doctor Gerry, the agency nurse covering the overflow beds on the day ward, I can’t remember his name, but he was from Italy.

My midwives Mags, Maura and Carmel were amazing and so professional.

Outstanding care received from Dr John Slevin, he was my OBGYN. Had a gentle delivery and hubby cut the cord, Dr Slevin photobombed us too lol. Amazing obstetrician with a wealth of knowledge. I have no doubt I will be returning to his private rooms.

Everyone involved, from the front desk through ever department, for their professional, courteous and friendly care, always delivered with a warm smile. I would particularly like to thank Mr David Cogley for his excellent work.

Burns Unit - the care, treatment and dignity I received was above and beyond the call of duty. Abel, not sure if I spelt his name right, constantly informed me what was happening and more importantly built up a rapport that added to the healing process. Learnt more off him about my condition and progress in simple lay man terms that was easy to comprehend considering the medication I was on. Strict but kind and you knew he cared. Encouragement when you needed it and banter to persuade you. A real professional even though I think he was only an aide or trainee nurse.

Midwife Helen Kelly on St Catherine's ward. She advocated for me when some staff were ignoring my pain and did not assist me.

All staff. Mile buiochas. Maire.

I would like to mention the staff in the emergency department in the Mercy - all very professional but especially Dr Tom Gleeson who looked after my mother. He was very attentive and kind to her and explained everything to her that was happening. He made her visit to the department an easier experience. We both really appreciated his dedication and relaxed manner.

I attend the rheumatology clinic to see Dr Rama and I have found both himself and his specialist nurses to be most helpful and open to questions about my diagnosis.

Leanne the nurse practitioner in A&E

Yes two people were outstanding during the night when I was a victim of an attack after an evening out with friends. The night duty ED register from Egypt was very soft and gentle towards me, he had good active listening skills towards me. The second person was Nula in radiology when I arrived for a brain scan review. She was so lovely, kind and caring towards me in my distressed emotional state.

Dr. Hassan, then the day ward nurses and nurses on St Lawrence's ward, especially nurse Anna and HCA Veena who went out of their way to provide amazing care.

Mr Rustom Manecksha and his team - Urology Dept.

All of the staff.

Outstanding care at this hospital in all respects.

Mrs Anne Meriggan (Breast Consultant)

I had the utmost sensitivity and care shown to me following a missed miscarriage. Philomena on Gerard’s ward was a particularly attentive and a caring help to both me and my partner. Showing compassion and professionalism at all stages. Very appreciative of Hugh O' Connor and team who were incredibly thorough with their attention to care and explanation of treatment from beginning to recovery.

Cannot praise Prof Brannigan enough for the way she treated my son. She listened to him and was so understanding of his sickness. Also a big shout out to her secretary who went over and beyond. Brilliant team.

Day Ward Services - you are all fantastic. Such caring and professional people.

Clare in endoscopy was fabulous, professional and explained the gastroscopy and colonoscopy procedure to me. She put in an IV cannula with no problems. Then I met the consultant John Nee , very nice and professional. Theatre nurses were great. No problem with procedure or post-operation, met great HCA in day ward, think his name was Aidan.

All nursing on St Teresa's ward and medical staff on Mr Parnell Keeling's team. Kindness, courtesy and care.

All the staff in the Stroke Unit were exceptional, efficient and caring. They were kind, diligent and so attentive, all with a smile. Also great care in the Medical Assessment Unit.
